The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have issued Corrigendum-1 to Centralized Employment Notice (CEN) No. 06/2026, extending the closing date for submitting online applications. Candidates applying for the Non-Technical Popular Categories (Graduate) posts can now submit their applications until 8 November 2026, 23:59 hours, instead of 6 November 2026.
The corrigendum, dated 6 November 2026, was issued by the Chairpersons of the Railway Recruitment Boards. The extension is short, so candidates who have not yet applied have very little time left.

What happened?
CEN 06/2026 covers recruitment for various posts of Non-Technical Popular Categories (Graduate). It was published on the unified official RRB website (rrb.indianrailways.gov.in) on 7 October 2026.
Corrigendum-1 revises the timelines for online submission of applications and the modification window. Only one date has changed:
- Closing date for submission of online application: earlier 6 November 2026 (23:59 hours), now to be read as 8 November 2026 (23:59 hours).
The other two timelines in the corrigendum table remain the same as before:
- Last date for application fee payment for the submitted applications: 8 November 2026 (unchanged).
- Modification window for corrections in the application form, with payment of a modification fee: 9 November 2026 to 18 November 2026 (unchanged).
The notice reference is No. RRB/PRYJ/Advt./CEN 06/2026, dated 6 November 2026.
Background and context
The Railway Recruitment Boards conduct recruitment through Centralized Employment Notices published on a unified official website, rrb.indianrailways.gov.in. Each CEN sets out the application window, fee payment deadline and a separate window during which candidates can correct details in their submitted application by paying a modification fee. CEN 06/2026, for the Graduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories, was published on 7 October 2026. Corrigendum-1 is the first amendment to its application timelines.
Revised timelines at a glance
| Timeline | Existing | To be read as |
|---|---|---|
| Closing date for submission of online application | 06.11.2026 (23:59 hours) | 08.11.2026 (23:59 hours) |
| Last date for application fee payment for the submitted applications | 08.11.2026 | 08.11.2026 |
| Modification window for corrections in application form (with modification fee) | 09.11.2026 to 18.11.2026 | 09.11.2026 to 18.11.2026 |
What cannot be changed in the modification window
The corrigendum notes that during the modification window, details filled in the ‘Create an Account’ form and the ‘Chosen RRB’ cannot be modified. Candidates should therefore check these details carefully before final submission. Other corrections in the application form can be made between 9 and 18 November 2026 on payment of the modification fee.
What applicants should do now
- Complete and submit the online application on the official RRB website before 23:59 hours on 8 November 2026.
- Pay the application fee for the submitted application by 8 November 2026, the same day as the new closing date.
- Use only the official website, rrb.indianrailways.gov.in, for applying and for any later corrections.
Why is this important?
The extension gives candidates two more days to apply, but the fee payment deadline has not moved. Because the application closing date and the fee payment deadline now fall on the same day, 8 November 2026, a candidate who submits the form late on that day must also complete the payment the same day. The modification window that follows from 9 November 2026 allows corrections, but not to the account details or the chosen RRB.
