The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) begins the CEN 04/2026 recruitment process for 3,993 vacancies. The notified posts include Junior Engineer (JE) and Depot Material Superintendent (DMS), with coverage also extending to Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant (CMA)-related positions, depending on discipline and category. Eligible candidates apply online and submit required documents through the official RRB application platform.

Across outlets, the key application window is the same: online applications open on August 14, 2026 and close on September 13, 2026 (by 11:59 PM). Free Press Journal adds additional process timelines, including fee payment until September 15, an application correction window from September 16 to 25, and scribe detail submission from September 26 to 30. Both reports refer to eligibility requirements based on the prescribed engineering diploma qualifications and outline the online submission steps.

Where the articles differ is in emphasis and scope: Times of India highlights JE and DMS prominently, while Free Press Journal provides fuller vacancy and procedural details, including category-wise totals and the fee/CBT-1 refund structure for different candidate groups.
