Final merit carries 70% weightage for CBT and 30% for CBAT.', "Applications go to only ONE RRB of the candidate's choice; multiple applications lead to rejection of all applications and debarment. Candidates must first 'Create an Account' on the RRB portal (existing accounts from CENs of 2024/2025/2026 can be reused), authenticate identity via DigiLocker/Aadhaar where possible, and note that the application module captures a live photograph during form filling (no pre-existing photograph upload).
