RRB Full Form — Railway Recruitment Board
RRB stands for Railway Recruitment Board — one of several regional boards (such as RRB Kolkata, RRB Chennai, RRB Mumbai and others) that conduct recruitment for Indian Railways under the coordination of the Railway Recruitment Boards' central body.
Each RRB covers specific railway zones and divisions, but the exams themselves — NTPC, Group D, ALP (Assistant Loco Pilot), JE (Junior Engineer) and others — are conducted on a common all-India pattern, with candidates applying to the RRB corresponding to their preferred zone.
Results, cutoffs and vacancy details can vary by zone even for the same exam, since recruitment numbers are allocated per zone based on that zone's requirements.
