Eligibility

• Education: Class 12 (+2 stage) or equivalent with at least 50% aggregate marks. The 50% condition does not apply to SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen candidates, or to anyone with a qualification higher than Class 12, so graduates can apply without needing 50% in Class 12.
• Age: 18 to 30 years as on 1 January 2027 (born between 2 January 1997 and 1 January 2009 for UR/EWS). OBC-NCL get 3 years and SC/ST 5 years of relaxation. Other categories are listed in the notification.
• You must have passed by the closing date. Candidates awaiting results should not apply.

No typing test this time

The typing skill test for Junior Clerk cum Typist and Accounts Clerk cum Typist has been dispensed with for CEN 07/2026. Typing proficiency will be assessed after joining instead.

Exam pattern

Stage	General Awareness	Mathematics	Reasoning	Total	Time
CBT-1 (screening)	40	30	30	100	90 min
CBT-2	50	35	35	120	90 min

• Every question carries 1 mark and 1/3 mark is deducted for each wrong answer.
• PwBD candidates eligible for a scribe get 120 minutes.
• CBT-1 only shortlists. Up to 15 times the community-wise vacancies of each RRB are called for CBT-2, which decides merit, followed by document verification and medical examination.

One RRB only, so choose carefully

You can submit only one application, to one RRB, and inside it you list your preferences for zones and posts. Applying to more than one RRB gets all your applications rejected and can debar you from future RRB exams. Pick the RRB where the posts you want have vacancies; Annexure B of the notification lists them zone by zone. The RRB you choose and the details in 'Create an Account' cannot be changed later, even in the modification window.

Medical standard matters

Each post has a medical (vision) standard. Goods Train Manager and Trains Clerk need stricter standards (A2/A3) than the clerical posts (C2). If you wear glasses, check the standard for each post in the notification before giving preferences, because you can be found unfit at the medical stage after clearing both CBTs.

Graduate or 12th pass: which NTPC should you apply for?

If you are a graduate aged 30 or under, you can apply to both CEN 06/2026 (Graduate) and CEN 07/2026 (Under Graduate), as they are separate notifications; the one-RRB rule applies within each notification. Graduate posts pay more (Level 5/6), and the exam pattern is the same, so preparing for one covers the other.
