Important Dates aur Application Fee — Ek Saath

⏰ Urgency: Apply link 11 November se live hoga — aaj (7 Nov) form nahi bhara ja sakta. 10th marksheet, ITI certificate aur caste certificate abhi se ready rakho, taaki 11 Nov ko seedha form bhar sako. Last date 11 December 2026 hai — aakhiri din server jam ka risk rehta hai, isliye pehle hafte me hi apply kar dena behtar hai.

RRC NR Act Apprentice Kya Hai?

Act Apprentice ka matlab hai Apprentices Act, 1961 ke under di jaane wali practical training — Northern Railway ke divisions, units aur workshops me, designated trades (Fitter, Electrician, Welder, Diesel Mechanic, Electronics Mechanic, COPA, Stenographer aur anya) me. RRC NR ne is baar 2026-27 training year ke liye 4,651 slots nikale hain. Training ke dauran stipend milta hai, aur training poori hone par certificate milta hai — lekin railway me permanent posting ki guarantee nahi hoti. Isi tarah RRC NWR Act Apprentice 2026 (2,008 posts) me bhi yehi rule tha: apprenticeship training hai, employment nahi.

Cluster-wise Training Slots — 4,651 Posts

Slots 6 clusters me bante hain. Har cluster ke slots trade-wise aur category-wise (UR/SC/ST/OBC, PwBD aur Ex-SM reservation ke saath) official notification ke Annexure-A me diye gaye hain:

Lucknow cluster ke andar unit-wise breakup (official Annexure-A se): LKO Division 504, LKO Division Engineering Department 46, Carriage Workshop AMV/LKO 374, Bridge Workshop CB/LKO 43, Rolling Stock Workshop (Loco and Carriage) CB/LKO 333, Rolling Stock Workshop (Electrical) CB/LKO 225 — total 1,525. Baaki clusters ka poora trade-wise table official notification PDF me hai — form bharne se pehle apne trade ki seat apne cluster me zaroor check kar lena.

Notified trades me Fitter, Electrician (General/TRD), Welder (Gas and Electric), Mechanic (Diesel), Mechanic (Motor Vehicle), Electronics Mechanic, Machinist, Turner, Carpenter, Painter (General), Mason, Blacksmith, Stenographer (English), Data Entry Operator, COPA, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic, Wireman jaise trades hain — lekin har trade har unit me nahi hai. Tumhara ITI trade jis cluster/unit me notified hai, sirf usi ke liye apply kar sakte ho. Galat cluster/unit me apply kiya to application seedha reject hogi aur fee bhi refund nahi hogi.

Pichhle Saal Se Kitna Badla? — 2025-26 vs 2026-27

Is saal slots 535 zyada hain — pichhle saal 4,116 the, is baar 4,651. Eligibility, fee aur selection ka tareeka dono saal lagbhag ek jaisa hi hai.

Eligibility Criteria — Detail Me

Educational Qualification

10th class (matriculation) ya equivalent recognised board se, minimum 50% aggregate marks ke saath — aur uske saath notified trade me ITI / National Trade Certificate jo NCVT ya SCVT se issued ho. Dono qualifications 6 November 2026 (notification ki date) tak tumhare paas honi chahiye — result ka wait kar rahe candidates apply na karein, application reject ho jayegi.

Age Limit

15 se 24 saal (11 December 2026 ko — apply ki last date). SC/ST ko 5 saal, OBC ko 3 saal, PwBD ko 10 saal aur Ex-servicemen ko service ke hisaab se (service + 3 saal, kam se kam 6 mahine ki service par) up to 10 saal ki relaxation milegi. Apni age eligibility yahan check karo — 15 se 24 ke bracket me hona zaroori hai.

Kaun Apply NAHI Kar Sakta

• Jiske 10th me 50% se kam aggregate marks hain
• Jiska ITI trade chosen cluster/unit me notified nahi hai
• Jo final result ka wait kar raha hai — dono certificates 6 Nov 2026 tak chahiye
• Jo ek se zyada application bhar deta hai — sirf ek application allowed, multiple applications milne par saari reject hongi
• Jo debarred hai RRB/RRC exams se (lifetime ya period poora nahi hua)

Stipend — Kitna Milega?

Seedhi baat: official notification me stipend ki koi fixed rakam print nahi hai — Section 7.0 me sirf itna likha hai ki training period aur stipend “as per extant rules applicable” honge. Isliye hum yahan koi number nahi likh rahe — andaze se rakam likhna galat hoga. Ye stipend hai, salary nahi — is par 7th CPC wale allowances (DA, HRA) apply nahi hote, aur ye permanent pay-scale se bilkul alag cheez hai. RRC jab stipend slab batayega, is section ko update kar denge. Permanent railway posts ki salary ka andaza lene ke liye Salary Calculator dekh sakte ho — lekin yaad rakho, apprentice stipend usse alag hota hai.

Selection Process — Bina Exam Ke, Sirf Merit

Isme koi written exam, koi interview nahi hai. Selection is tarah hoga:

1. Screening: Application ki jaanch — incomplete ya galat form reject.
2. Merit list: Simple average — (10th ke % marks + ITI ke % marks) / 2. Merit cluster-wise, trade-wise aur community-wise banegi.
3. Tie-break: Barabar marks par pehle zyada age wale candidate ko preference; DOB bhi same ho to jisne matriculation pehle pass ki ho.
4. Document Verification: Merit me aane wale candidates ko concerned division/unit me original documents ke saath bulaya jayega. DV ke liye koi TA/DA nahi milega.
5. Medical Examination: Government authorised doctor (Assistant Surgeon se neeche rank nahi) se medical fitness certificate.

CGPA ya grade wale boards ke liye RRC grade range ka midpoint lekar percentage nikalega — isliye form me marks certificate ke hisaab se bilkul sahi bharna. Form me bhare marks aur original marksheet me farq mila to DV par candidature seedha reject ho jayegi. Training shuru hone se pehle apprentice (ya minor hone par guardian) ko Contract of Apprenticeship sign karna hoga.

How to Apply — Step by Step

Apply link 11 November 2026 se rrcnr.org par live hoga. Steps:

1. 11 Nov ko official website kholo: rrcnr.org par “Engagement of Act Apprentice” ONLINE Application ka link dikhega.
2. Notification PDF padho: Apne ITI trade ke slots apne cluster/unit me check karo — sirf wahi cluster select karo jahan tumhare trade ki seat hai.
3. Register karo: Name, father’s name, community, category, mobile number, email aur DOB se register karo — password email aur SMS par milega.
4. Form bharo: Personal details, 10th aur ITI ke marks bilkul certificate jaisi bharo — merit inhi marks par banegi, galti mehangi padegi.
5. Documents upload karo: Photo, signature, thumb impression (10–50 KB, JPG) aur certificates upload karo (list neeche hai).
6. Fee pay karo: Gen/OBC/EWS ₹100 online; SC/ST/PwBD/Women ke liye nil.
7. Submit karke printout rakho: Final submit ke baad application aur fee payment slip ka print nikaal lo — DV ke time kaam aayega.

Documents — Pehle Se Ready Rakho

• 10th class ki marksheet aur certificate (50% aggregate ka proof + DOB proof)
• ITI / National Trade Certificate (NCVT/SCVT) + saare semesters ki consolidated marksheet
• Caste certificate (SC/ST/OBC) Central Government format me; OBC ke liye Non-Creamy Layer certificate (2026-27, 01/01/2026 ke baad issued)
• PwBD certificate (agar applicable ho)
• Ex-servicemen discharge certificate / serving certificate (agar applicable ho)
• Medical fitness certificate — government authorised doctor se (Assistant Surgeon se neeche rank nahi)
• Recent passport-size photo, signature aur thumb impression (10–50 KB, JPG format)

DV ke din original documents + 2 self-attested photocopies le jaane hote hain. Certificates English ya Hindi ke alawa kisi aur bhasha me hon to unka self-attested English/Hindi translation bhi saath rakho. Hostel ki facility nahi milegi — training ke dauraan rehne ka intezaam khud karna hoga.
