- Computer Based Test (CBT): The exam is conducted for 100 marks, with negative marking of 1/3rd mark deducted for each incorrect answer.
- Skill/Performance Test: Depending on the post, candidates may need to clear a Stenography Skill Test (SST), Translation Test (TT), Performance Test (PT), or Teaching Skill Test (TST).

- Medical Examination: Candidates must meet the prescribed medical standards for their respective post (for example, Chief Law Assistant requires medical standard C-1).
Aadhaar Verification Requirements for the CBT

RRB has made Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication mandatory for entry into the CBT exam hall. Candidates are required to carry their original Aadhaar card, or a printout of their e-verified Aadhaar, to the exam centre. Without valid Aadhaar verification and the admit card, candidates will not be permitted to appear for the examination.
Important Note for Candidates
RRB has reiterated that candidates should rely only on official RRB websites for updates related to this recruitment and avoid unauthenticated third-party sources. The board has also cautioned candidates against touts making false promises of selection through illegal means, clarifying that selection is strictly merit-based, determined by CBT performance.
