RRB asks every applicant for one file: their signature. Sign on plain white paper with a black ink pen, in running handwriting (joined letters) — not in capital, block or separate letters.
Add a photo or scan of it in the signature box at the top of this page. We save it as RRB asks: a JPG of 30 KB to 49 KB, at least 140 × 60 pixels, for a box 35 mm by 20 mm. A background that isn't white, ink that isn't black, capitals or a thumb impression can get the application rejected.

Questions
What is the exam group, and which is mine?
Your qualification decides it: Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics (with computer science and IT) or Civil engineering, or CMA for a B.Sc. in Physics and Chemistry. CBT-2's 100 technical questions come from your group's syllabus. With qualifications for two groups, you choose one and opt for the posts it fits.
Can I apply with a B.E. or B.Tech instead of a diploma?
Yes — in the same discipline. A shorter diploma doesn't count; it must be three years.
I have had Lasik. Can I be a JE?
Not in an A-3 post. A B-1 post is possible if the surgery was at least one year ago, the residual corneal thickness is at least 425 microns, and RRB's other conditions are met.
Is a calculator allowed?
Not your own — no calculator or any electronic device may be brought in. In CBT-2 a virtual calculator is on the screen.
Can I apply to more than one RRB?
No. One common application, to one RRB, for all the posts you want. Applying to more than one RRB gets every application rejected.
