Railway jobs in India remain the most sought-after government positions due to job security and competitive pay scales. The Level-1 recruitment, often referred to as Group D, attracts millions of applicants nationwide. With 22,000 vacancies, this 2026 notification is expected to see high competition.

Keeping your Aadhaar linked and updated is now a mandatory standard for all major government entrance exams to prevent impersonation and streamline the verification process.
