Quick facts
About the role
Railway Recruitment Boards have published CEN 07/2026 inviting applications for 1,688 undergraduate posts across Indian Railways zones. This recruitment drive covers four distinct positions: Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Clerk cum Typist, and Trains Clerk. Candidates who have passed higher secondary (10+2) with at least 50% marks, as well as degree holders seeking clerical appointments in the railways, can apply online through the unified RRB portal. The minimum 50% marks criterion is relaxed for SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen, and applicants holding qualifications beyond Class 12. Selected personnel enter services under Pay Level 2 or Level 3 of the 7th CPC matrix, with starting basic salaries ranging from ₹19,900 to ₹21,700 per month plus standard central allowances. Notably, under this cycle, the separate typing test has been dropped, leaving selection to two stages of computer-based tests followed by document verification and medical screening. Applicants may choose only one RRB zone for submission.

Frequently asked questions
Can candidates with less than 50 percent marks in Class 12 apply?
Yes, provided you belong to SC, ST, PwBD, or Ex-Servicemen categories, or hold a higher educational qualification such as a diploma or graduation degree. General, OBC, and EWS candidates possessing only a Class 12 certificate must have secured at least 50% aggregate marks to be eligible.
Is there a typing test for RRB NTPC Undergraduate CEN 07/2026?
No. The Railway Recruitment Boards have specifically dispensed with the separate typing skill test for undergraduate posts under CEN 07/2026. Selection relies purely on performance in CBT Stage 1 and Stage 2, followed by document scrutiny and the required medical fitness test.
Can I submit applications to multiple RRB regions?
No. Candidates are allowed to submit only one online application and must select a single RRB. Submitting multiple forms or applying to more than one Railway Recruitment Board will lead to immediate rejection of all submissions and potential debarment from future railway examinations.
How does the RRB NTPC application fee refund work?
Candidates who appear for CBT-1 receive a partial or full refund credited to their Aadhaar-linked bank account. General and OBC applicants get ₹400 back from the ₹500 fee, while reserved categories, women, and minority applicants receive a full refund of ₹250, minus minor bank transaction charges.
What are the age limits and relaxation criteria for this recruitment?
Applicants must be between 18 and 30 years of age as on 01 Jan 2027. Upper age relaxations apply: 3 years for OBC Non-Creamy Layer, 5 years for SC and ST candidates, and 10 to 15 years for PwBD candidates, based on their category.
