RRB exams are held all over the nation to find the best people for the various units of the railway department. An approved board — the Railway Recruitment Board — administers the exam, and the process combines a written test with an interview. The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) handle recruitment for Group C (Technical and Non-Technical) posts, while the Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs) handle Group D recruitment — 21 RRBs and 16 RRCs in total, receiving millions of applications for the available positions every year.
