# RRB opens 1,250 Station Master posts, apply by 25 November 2026-10-21T12:49:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has invited online applications for 1,250 Station Master posts under Advt No. CEN No. 08/2026. The application window opens on 27 October 2026 and closes on 25 November 2026. Eligibility requires candidates to be any graduate, with age and other conditions as per the detailed CEN, with age calculated as on 1 January 2027. The selected candidates will be placed at Level-6 of the 7th CPC pay scale. The selection process includes a Computer Based Test and Document Verification. Applicants must ensure their Aadhaar is updated with a recent photo and biometrics before filling the online form, as Aadhaar verification is required. The full notification PDF is available on the RRB website, and applications must be submitted online before the deadline. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 1,250 vacancies for Station Master signal a substantial hiring round for railway aspirants, who will need to act within the roughly one-month window between 27 October and 25 November 2026. Since the detailed CEN defines eligibility, including age relaxation and trade-specific conditions, candidates should not rely solely on the summary table before applying. The mandatory Aadhaar update with latest photo and biometrics could become a hurdle for those whose biometrics are outdated, so that step should be completed well in advance. The actual competition will hinge on the Computer Based Test, whose syllabus is yet to be published separately. That syllabus release is the next milestone to track after the application deadline. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Straight job listing with factual dates and eligibility details, no political slant.
