RRB JE CBT-1 rescheduled to 02-11-2026 for Andhra Pradesh centres — if your Junior Engineer CBT-1 on 28-10-2026 was at one of the listed centres in Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry or Vijayawada, do not travel on the old date. Cyclone Arnab forced the Railway Recruitment Boards to defer that day's test at those centres, and the rescheduled examination is now fixed for 02-11-2026, with fresh city slips and e-call letters from 30-10-2026.

Only candidates whose 28-10-2026 CBT-1 was allotted to one of these centre codes are affected. Everyone else — including candidates who appeared on 27-10-2026 and candidates at Andhra Pradesh centres not on this list — keeps to the original schedule. If you are unsure, match your own centre code against the list rather than going by your city alone.
Eligibility under CEN 04/2026 is unchanged by the reschedule: an engineering diploma or degree (or B.Sc. Engineering) in the relevant trade or branch for the post applied for, as prescribed in the original notification. The postponement changes only the date and venue for the affected candidates, not who is eligible.
