Candidates checking the RRB NTPC graduate level apply date should note that the application window closes on 6 November 2026 at 11:59 PM. Candidates should not confuse the last date for submitting the form with the separate fee-payment and modification deadlines.

The RRB NTPC application window remains open for almost one month, but candidates should avoid waiting for the final day because the form involves account creation, identity verification, preference selection, photo capture, document checks and fee payment.
The RRB NTPC Apply Online 2026 process has started on 8 October 2026 for 3,548 Graduate-level posts under CEN 06/2026. Eligible candidates can submit the application form until 6 November 2026 at 11:59 PM.
The application is completely online. Before applying, candidates should check the detailed RRB NTPC Notification, eligibility conditions, post-wise parameters, vacancy distribution and medical standards.
The RRB NTPC graduate level apply process requires candidates to complete registration, enter the required details, select preferences, complete identity verification, upload the prescribed information and pay the applicable fee.
The RRB NTPC Vacancy 2026 includes 3,548 Graduate-level posts under CEN 06/2026. These vacancies are divided among four notified posts and are further distributed RRB-wise, Railway/Production Unit-wise and category-wise.
| RRB NTPC Post | Pay Level | Initial Pay | Medical Standard | Vacancies |
| Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor | 6 | ₹35,400 | B2 | 127 |
| Goods Train Manager | 5 | ₹29,200 | A2 | 2,750 |
| Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist | 5 | ₹29,200 | C2 | 300 |
| Senior Clerk Cum Typist | 5 | ₹29,200 | C2 | 371 |
| Total | – | – | – | 3,548 |
Goods Train Manager has the highest number of vacancies with 2,750 posts, whereas Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor has the lowest with 127 posts.
The vacancy figures are provisional and may be increased or decreased according to Railway requirements.
The detailed notification provides the RRB NTPC RRB-wise vacancy distribution in Annexure B. Candidates should consider both the total vacancies and the post-wise distribution before selecting an RRB.
| RRB | Total Vacancies |
| Ahmedabad | 19 |
| Ajmer | 304 |
| Bengaluru | 346 |
| Bhopal | 157 |
| Bhubaneswar | 146 |
| Bilaspur | 542 |
| Chandigarh | 59 |
| Chennai | 141 |
| Gorakhpur | 30 |
| Guwahati | 104 |
| Jammu-Srinagar | 66 |
| Kolkata | 332 |
| Malda | 26 |
| Mumbai | 155 |
| Muzaffarpur | 78 |
| Patna | 29 |
| Prayagraj | 265 |
| Ranchi | 377 |
| Secunderabad | 56 |
| Siliguri | 291 |
| Thiruvananthapuram | 25 |
| Total | 3,548 |
Bilaspur has the highest RRB-wise total with 542 vacancies, followed by Ranchi with 377 and Bengaluru with 346. However, candidates should not select an RRB based only on the total number of vacancies. Post availability, medical standards, preference options and eligibility should also be considered.
The RRB NTPC 2026 recruitment has several important differences from the previous Graduate-level recruitment cycle. The major changes involve vacancies, notified posts, pay levels and post-CBT stages.
| RRB NTPC Graduate Recruitment | 2025 | 2026 |
| Total Vacancies | 5,810 | 3,548 |
| Graduate Posts Notified | 6 | 4 |
| Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor | 161 | 127 |
| Station Master | 615 | Not notified |
| Goods Train Manager | 3,416 | 2,750 |
| Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist | 921 | 300 |
| Senior Clerk Cum Typist | 638 | 371 |
| Traffic Assistant | 59 | Not notified |
| Pay Levels | 4, 5 and 6 | 5 and 6 |
| Typing Skill Test | Applicable to relevant typist posts | Discontinued under CEN 06/2026 |
| CBAT | Applicable to relevant aptitude-test posts | Not applicable to current four notified posts |
The Graduate vacancy count has reduced from 5,810 in the previous recruitment cycle to 3,548 in CEN 06/2026. This means the current recruitment has 2,262 fewer Graduate-level vacancies.
This makes the choice of RRB and post preference more important because candidates have fewer overall vacancies to compete for.
Station Master is not included in the current Graduate CEN 06/2026 recruitment. Candidates applying under the present RRB NTPC Notification will find only four Graduate posts in the vacancy structure.
This is an important difference from the previous recruitment cycle, where Station Master was one of the notified Graduate posts.
Traffic Assistant is also not included in CEN 06/2026. The current Graduate recruitment is limited to Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor, Goods Train Manager, Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and Senior Clerk Cum Typist.
Candidates should therefore use the current vacancy table rather than older post lists while filling the application.
A major change is the discontinuation of the Computer Based Typing Skill Test for Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and Senior Clerk Cum Typist.
Candidates applying for these posts will not have to appear for a separate CBTST before Document Verification. However, they are still expected to have adequate computer and typing proficiency, which may be assessed after joining.
The current RRB NTPC CEN does not notify the Graduate posts for which a separate Computer Based Aptitude Test is applicable. Therefore, the selection process for the four current Graduate posts moves from CBT 1 to CBT 2 and then to Document Verification and Medical Examination.
The current RRB NTPC Graduate recruitment contains only Pay Level 5 and Pay Level 6 posts. The previous recruitment cycle also included a Level 4 post through Traffic Assistant.
Candidates should therefore rely on the current post-wise salary and vacancy structure rather than using older Graduate-level salary tables.
The earlier indicative vacancy figure was 3,477, but the detailed CEN increased the Graduate vacancy count to 3,548.
Therefore, 3,548 should be treated as the current Graduate vacancy figure for CEN 06/2026.
The RRB NTPC Apply Online 2026 process includes account creation, identity authentication, form filling, RRB selection, post preference, live photo capture, signature upload, fee payment and final submission.
The most important point is that some information cannot be corrected later, so candidates should not rush through account creation or RRB selection.
The RRB NTPC account creation process requires a valid personal mobile number and active email ID because OTPs and recruitment-related communications are sent through these details.
Candidates who have created an account during an earlier RRB recruitment can use the same credentials for CEN 06/2026.
The details entered during account creation, including the mobile number and email ID, cannot be changed later. Candidates should therefore enter these details carefully and use contact information that remains active throughout the recruitment process.
The selected RRB becomes an important part of the RRB NTPC graduate level apply process because the chosen RRB cannot be changed later.
Within the chosen RRB, candidates can indicate their preferences for eligible posts and Railway Zones/Production Units. If an option is not selected, the candidate may be treated as unwilling for that option.
The selected RRB is final and cannot be changed during the modification window. Applying to multiple RRBs can result in rejection of all applications and debarment from future RRB and RRC examinations.
The RRB NTPC application requires candidates to provide an order of preference for eligible posts and Railway Zones/Production Units within the selected RRB.
Candidates should compare:
A high-vacancy post is not automatically the best option. The preference order should be decided after checking all applicable conditions.
Candidates are advised to authenticate their identity through Aadhaar or DigiLocker during the Create an Account stage.
Candidates who do not complete the authentication at that stage can use the Verify Aadhaar facility while filling the RRB NTPC application, but identity verification must be completed before final submission.
Candidates using alternate identity documents may be subjected to stricter scrutiny during different stages of recruitment.
The RRB NTPC application requires live photograph capture instead of uploading a pre-existing photograph. The photograph can be captured using a computer or laptop webcam or the front camera of a mobile phone.
Candidates should follow these instructions:
The RRB NTPC application should contain a genuine live photograph. Taking a photograph of an already existing printed or digital image instead of using the live capture facility can result in rejection.
The RRB NTPC application requires a scanned signature in JPG/JPEG format. The signature must be written by the candidate using black ink on white paper and should be in running handwriting.
| Signature Requirement | Specification |
| Format | JPG/JPEG |
| Resolution | Minimum 100 DPI |
| File Size | 30 KB to 49 KB |
| Minimum Dimensions | 140 pixels × 60 pixels |
| Ink | Black |
| Paper | White |
| Writing Style | Running/Cursive |
| Scan Box | 35 mm × 20 mm |
The signature should be clear, complete and properly visible. Signatures written in block or capital letters, unclear scans, blank images, thumb impressions in place of a signature or signatures belonging to another person can create rejection issues.
Candidates should keep all relevant documents ready before starting the RRB NTPC application. Some documents are entered as details during form filling, while specific documents must be uploaded as prescribed.
Important documents and details include:
Candidates should ensure that information entered in the form matches the original documents that may be checked during RRB NTPC Document Verification.
The RRB NTPC Application Fee 2026 is ₹500 for candidates outside the concessional categories and ₹250 for eligible concessional categories. The applicable categories include SC, ST, Ex-Servicemen, PwBD, Female, Transgender, Minority and Economically Backward Class candidates.
| Candidate Category | Application Fee | Refund After Appearing in CBT 1 |
| All candidates except concessional categories | ₹500 | ₹400 after applicable bank charges |
| SC/ST/Ex-Servicemen/PwBD/Female/Transgender/Minority/EBC | ₹250 | ₹250 after applicable bank charges |
The fee can be paid online through Internet Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card or UPI.
The refund is applicable only after appearing in the RRB NTPC 1st Stage CBT. The prescribed fee is not refundable for incomplete, rejected or unsubmitted applications.
EBC, EWS and OBC-NCL are three different categories and should not be treated as interchangeable.
The EBC category provides fee concession only and does not provide job reservation on the basis of EBC status.
Candidates claiming EBC concession must possess the prescribed supporting document, such as an EBC certificate, BPL card, Izzat MST or another accepted Central Government document.
The fee refund process is linked to an Aadhaar-seeded bank account.
During the RRB NTPC application process, candidates are required to validate their Aadhaar details. Where an Aadhaar-linked bank account is available, the account can be displayed for confirmation. If no Aadhaar-seeded bank account is detected, the system can guide the candidate through the required bank-account linking process.
Candidates should ensure that the bank account is valid and operational. No refund is provided for rejected applications or an invalid/non-operational bank account.
The RRB NTPC application modification window will remain open from 9 November to 18 November 2026.
Candidates can modify eligible details by paying a non-refundable modification fee of ₹250 per occasion.
| Particular | Details |
| Modification Starts | 9 November 2026 |
| Modification Ends | 18 November 2026 |
| Modification Fee | ₹250 per occasion |
| Fee Nature | Non-refundable |
| Number of Modifications | Permitted as per the prescribed rules during the window |
| Create an Account Details | Cannot be changed |
| Registered Mobile Number | Cannot be changed |
| Registered Email ID | Cannot be changed |
| Chosen RRB | Cannot be changed |
If a modification results in a change in examination fee category, the applicable difference in examination fee may also have to be paid.
The RRB NTPC eligibility criteria 2026 require candidates to fulfil educational qualifications, age, nationality and post-specific medical requirements.
The prescribed qualification must be possessed by the closing date of the application. Candidates waiting for the final result of the required qualification are not eligible to apply.
Candidates must possess a degree from a recognised University or an equivalent qualification for the four Graduate posts notified under CEN 06/2026.

| Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist | Degree from a recognised University or equivalent |

The qualification must be completed by 6 November 2026, the closing date of the application window.
The RRB NTPC age limit is 18 to 33 years as on 1 January 2027, subject to the applicable relaxation rules.
For the basic 18-33 age group, the candidate should not have been born after 1 January 2009.
For the upper-age calculation, the date of birth should not be earlier than:
| Category | Date of Birth Should Not Be Earlier Than |
| UR/EWS | 2 January 1994 |
| OBC-NCL | 2 January 1991 |
| SC/ST | 2 January 1989 |
Both the lower and upper date limits are considered as prescribed in the RRB NTPC Notification 2026.
The applicable upper-age relaxations include:
| Category | Relaxation |
| SC/ST | 5 years |
| OBC-NCL | 3 years |
| PwBD – UR/EWS | 10 years |
| PwBD – OBC-NCL | 13 years |
| PwBD – SC/ST | 15 years |
| Ex-Servicemen | As prescribed after deduction of qualifying military service |
| Eligible Railway Staff | As specified in the notification |
| Eligible Quasi-Administrative Railway Staff | As specified in the notification |
| Eligible Widowed/Divorced/Judicially Separated Women | As specified in the notification |
Candidates must have the prescribed certificates to claim age relaxation.
The nationality conditions permit eligible Indian citizens and specified categories of citizens or subjects of Nepal and Bhutan, along with specified persons of Indian origin who have migrated from the countries mentioned in the RRB NTPC notification.
Candidates who require a Government of India eligibility certificate must produce the required certificate during Document Verification.
The RRB NTPC medical standard varies by post and is an important consideration while selecting preferences.
| Post | Medical Standard |
| Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor | B2 |
| Goods Train Manager | A2 |
| Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist | C2 |
| Senior Clerk Cum Typist | C2 |
The A2 standard is stricter than B2 and C2, making the medical requirement particularly important for candidates considering Goods Train Manager.
Candidates medically unsuitable for their selected RRB NTPC post will not automatically receive an alternative appointment.
The RRB NTPC selection process 2026 for the current Graduate recruitment consists of:
The current four-post recruitment does not include a separate CBTST or CBAT stage.
RRB NTPC CBT scores are normalized wherever the examination is conducted in multiple shifts. Shortlisting for later stages is based on merit and the prescribed rules.
The RRB NTPC CBT 1 is common for all notified Graduate posts and contains 100 objective questions carrying 100 marks.
| Subject | Questions | Marks |
| General Awareness | 40 | 40 |
| Mathematics | 30 | 30 |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 30 | 30 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
The RRB NTPC CBT 1 duration is 90 minutes. Eligible PwBD/PwD candidates using a scribe receive 120 minutes.
There is a negative marking of 1/3 mark for every incorrect answer.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentage |
| UR | 40% |
| EWS | 40% |
| OBC-NCL | 30% |
| SC | 30% |
| ST | 25% |
The prescribed minimum qualifying percentage can be relaxed for eligible PwBD candidates in specified circumstances.
The RRB NTPC CBT 2 contains 120 questions for 120 marks and is also conducted for 90 minutes.
| Subject | Questions | Marks |
| General Awareness | 50 | 50 |
| Mathematics | 35 | 35 |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 35 | 35 |
| Total | 120 | 120 |
The examination carries 1/3 negative marking for each incorrect answer.
The section-wise distribution is indicative and may vary in the actual examination.
Candidates are shortlisted for RRB NTPC CBT 2 using normalized CBT 1 marks. The prescribed shortlisting level is generally 15 times the community-wise vacancies of the concerned RRB, although the Railway Recruitment Boards may vary the ratio when necessary.
Normalized CBT 2 marks are then used for further shortlisting for Document Verification.
Candidates shortlisted for RRB NTPC Document Verification must produce original certificates supporting their educational qualification, age, category and other claims made in the application.
The number of candidates called for Document Verification is generally kept at 1:1 against vacancies based on merit, subject to the applicable rules.
Final empanelment is subject to:
The RRB NTPC syllabus 2026 for both CBT stages covers three core subjects:
The RRB NTPC Mathematics syllabus includes:
The RRB NTPC Reasoning syllabus includes:
The RRB NTPC General Awareness syllabus covers:
The RRB NTPC CBT is available in English, Hindi and 13 regional Indian languages.
The regional language options are:
Candidates must select their preferred examination language in the application form. The questions are displayed in the selected language along with English.
Reservation is available according to the applicable rules for SC, ST, OBC-NCL and EWS candidates, along with horizontal reservation provisions for categories such as PwBD and Ex-Servicemen.
Candidates claiming reservation or age relaxation must possess the required certificate in the prescribed format.
Candidates seeking OBC-NCL benefits must satisfy the prescribed Central List and certificate requirements.
State-level OBC status alone does not automatically establish eligibility for OBC-NCL reservation in the RRB NTPC recruitment.
Candidates seeking EWS benefits must satisfy the prescribed income and asset conditions and possess the required certificate in the prescribed format.
EWS should not be confused with EBC. EWS relates to reservation benefits, whereas EBC is primarily relevant to fee concession in this recruitment.
Eligible SC/ST candidates can opt for the prescribed free railway travel facility for applicable recruitment stages.
Candidates using this facility must carry the required valid SC/ST certificate and comply with the conditions mentioned in the RRB NTPC recruitment notification.
The RRB NTPC application can be rejected for multiple applications, incorrect live-photo capture, signature-related issues, debarment or other irregularities.
Common reasons include:
Candidates should carefully review the complete application before final submission.
Candidates should complete the RRB NTPC apply online 2026 process only after checking the selected RRB, post preference, examination language, personal details, documents and fee-payment status.
Check the following:
The final submitted application and fee receipt should be saved safely for future reference.

This can be particularly useful for candidates who require help with internet access, document scanning, uploading, online payment or completing the application process.

The RRB NTPC Apply Online process is already active, so eligible graduates should complete the application after checking all eligibility and preference details.
Candidates should simultaneously begin preparation because the CBT dates have not yet been announced.
The preparation should focus on:
