RRB NTPC – Overview

RRB NTPC (Non-Technical Popular Categories) is the recruitment exam held by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) under the Ministry of Railways to fill non-technical Group C posts in Indian Railways. Since 2024 the Railways publish two separate notifications (CENs) for NTPC every year: one for Graduate posts and one for Undergraduate (12th pass) posts. Candidates apply once on the common portal rrbapply.gov.in and choose one RRB.

Posts

  • Graduate level: Station Master, Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor, Goods Train Manager, Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist, Senior Clerk cum Typist, Traffic Assistant (pay levels 4 to 6).
  • Undergraduate level: Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Clerk cum Typist, Trains Clerk (pay levels 2 and 3).

Selection stages

1st stage CBT (screening) → 2nd stage CBT → Typing Skill Test (typist posts) or Computer Based Aptitude Test (Station Master and Traffic Assistant, where notified) → Document Verification → Medical Examination. In the 2026 Graduate notice (CEN 06/2026) the typing test has been dropped; typing skill will be checked after joining.
