Detailed Context: Why This Notice Matters
Candidates who attended the Document Verification (DV) for RRB Patna in April-May & September 2025 (Technician) and August-September 2025 (JE) were sent for medical examination at Divisional Railway Hospitals in Danapur and DDU (Mughalsarai).
Some candidates were found UNFIT in the high medical standards (like A-3, B-1, B-2) required for their specific technical posts. These candidates were previously given a chance to appear before the Divisional Medical Committee (DMC). The decision of the DMC is generally considered final. However, this notice provides a last resort mechanism.
Critical Warning: If you do not file an appeal by the deadline (14-02-2026), the decision of the DMC will be treated as final, and your candidature for the posts requiring those specific medical standards will be permanently cancelled.
