Why Station Master Is No Longer in NTPC
Until 2025, Station Master was one of the posts in the RRB NTPC (Graduate) recruitment. From 2026, the Railway Board runs a separate Station Master recruitment with its own CEN. Candidates who applied for NTPC Graduate CEN 06/2026 must apply separately under CEN 08/2026 to be considered for Station Master.
