Quick facts
About the role
Railway Recruitment Boards have issued the centralised employment notification CEN 06/2026 for graduate-level non-technical popular categories. The recruitment drive covers 3,548 openings across four designated posts: Goods Train Manager, Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor, Senior Clerk cum Typist, and Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist. The bulk of openings belongs to the Goods Train Manager cadre, accounting for 2,750 seats. Applicants must hold a bachelor degree from an accredited university on or before the application cutoff date. The selection framework consists of a common preliminary computer-based test followed by a second-stage computer test, verification of records, and medical fitness assessment.

Frequently asked questions
What are the educational qualifications required for RRB NTPC Graduate posts?
Candidates must possess a graduation degree from a recognised university in any stream by 06 Nov 2026. Those who are appearing in final examinations or awaiting their final graduation results on the closing date cannot submit an application under this notification.
Has the typing test been removed for Senior Clerk and Junior Accounts Assistant?
Yes, the computer-based typing skill test has been dispensed with during the initial selection process. Shortlisted candidates are selected purely on CBT performance, and typing speed will be evaluated internally after joining the respective railway division.
Are candidates with LASIK surgery eligible for Goods Train Manager posts?
No, candidates who have undergone LASIK or refractive eye surgery cannot qualify for Goods Train Manager, which demands strict A-2 medical fitness standards. Such applicants can only be considered for Level 5 clerical or Level 6 commercial supervisor positions.
Can an applicant apply to more than one RRB zone?
No, each applicant can register for only one RRB zone. Submitting multiple applications across different railway recruitment boards causes outright rejection of all submissions, forfeiture of registration fees, and potential debarment from forthcoming railway recruitment drives.
How much of the application fee is refunded after the exam?
General and OBC male applicants receive Rs 400 back after deducting transaction charges upon appearing in CBT 1. Reserved categories, female candidates, and economically backward candidates who paid Rs 250 receive a full refund into their verified bank accounts.
