About the role

A total of 8,113 openings are up for grabs in various zonal divisions, covering roles such as Goods Train Manager, Station Master, Senior Clerk cum Typist, Junior Account Assistant cum Typist, and Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor. Graduates from any stream who meet the age requirements can submit their applications through the centralized RRB online portal. Because this cycle carries revised pay matrix allocations under Level 5 and Level 6, selected recruits receive central government allowances alongside their base pay.

Selection depends entirely on merit across multi-stage written tests and category-specific skill evaluations.

Frequently asked questions
Can final-year degree students apply for RRB NTPC Graduate posts?
No. Candidates must hold their final graduation degree or provisional certificate on or before the closing date of application submission. Those awaiting exam results or mark sheets cannot apply, as educational credentials undergo verification against the cut-off date.
Can I apply to multiple RRB zones in this drive?
No. Each candidate can select only one Railway Recruitment Board zone throughout this recruitment cycle. Submitting multiple forms to different boards using altered credentials leads to disqualification and debarment from all future railway recruitment tests.
How does the examination fee refund process work?
Candidates who mark their attendance in the CBT-1 test receive a refund directly into their linked bank account. Unreserved applicants get ₹400 refunded after bank deductions, while reserved categories, women, and PwBD applicants receive a full refund of ₹250.
Is negative marking applicable in CBT-1 and CBT-2?
Yes. Both CBT-1 and CBT-2 enforce negative marking for wrong answers. One-third (1/3rd) of the marks assigned to a specific question will be deducted for every incorrect attempt. Unanswered questions attract no penalty.
What is the minimum typing speed required for clerical roles?
For Senior Clerk cum Typist and Junior Account Assistant posts, candidates must type at 30 words per minute in English or 25 words per minute in Hindi on a computer without editing assistance tools.
