Who can apply?
The recruitment is for various Non-Technical Popular Categories at the Undergraduate level. However, the indicative notice does not provide the complete post-wise eligibility criteria.
Candidates should therefore wait for the detailed CEN No. 07/2026 before submitting an application. The detailed notification will specify the required educational qualification, age limit, post-wise eligibility, medical standards and other conditions.
RRB NTPC UG Recruitment: Aadhaar verification will be important
One of the key points highlighted in the notice is the advice regarding Aadhaar-based verification during the online application process.
Candidates are advised to verify their primary details using Aadhaar while filling out the application. This is intended to reduce delays that may occur during the recruitment process because of detailed verification of candidates who have not used Aadhaar-based verification.
The notice also advises candidates to ensure that their name and date of birth in Aadhaar match the details mentioned in their Class 10 certificate.
Candidates are further advised to update their Aadhaar with their latest photograph and biometric information, including fingerprint and iris details, before completing the online application.
Final recruitment details will come with the detailed CEN
The current notice is clearly described as indicative in nature. This means that candidates should not treat the information in this notice as the complete recruitment notification.
The final terms and conditions, eligibility requirements, recruitment procedure, vacancies and other details will be governed by the detailed CEN No. 07/2026, including any corrigendum issued later.
The Railway Recruitment Boards have also stated that the detailed notification and subsequent updates will be published through the common RRB website and the respective RRB websites.
Candidates should be careful about fake job offers
The notice carries a clear warning for applicants to beware of touts, brokers and job racketeers.
Candidates should complete the recruitment process only through the official Railway Recruitment Board channels and should not pay money to anyone promising selection or a railway job.
Where will candidates apply?
Applications are expected to be submitted online only through the official application portal mentioned in the notice:
Candidates should carefully check the detailed CEN before submitting their forms, particularly the eligibility requirements, documents, application fee, post preferences and other instructions.
