Railway Apprentice Recruitment 2026: There is good news for young people who dream of working in the railway sector and gaining experience in a technical field. The Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC), Jaipur, has announced the recruitment of 2,008 apprentices for the North Western Railway (NWR). Candidates who have passed the 10th grade and hold an ITI certificate are eligible to apply. Notably, there will be no written examination; candidates will be selected based on a merit list prepared according to the marks obtained in their 10th-grade examinations and ITI certification. The online application process began on October 23, 2026, and interested candidates can submit their applications via the official website, rrcjaipur.in, until 11:59 PM on November 22, 2026.
No Written Examination for Railway Recruitment
The most significant aspect of this recruitment is its selection process. While government job recruitments typically involve a written examination followed by other stages, no written test will be conducted for this North Western Railway apprenticeship recruitment. Candidates will be selected based on a merit list, which will be compiled by calculating the average percentage of marks obtained in the 10th-grade examination and the ITI course. This merit list will be prepared separately for each trade and railway division. Candidates who secure a place on the merit list will then be required to undergo document verification and a medical fitness test. Those who complete these stages will be shortlisted for apprenticeship training.
Divisions Offering Apprenticeship Opportunities
The Railway Recruitment Cell, Jaipur, is conducting recruitment for a total of 2,008 apprenticeship positions. These vacancies will be filled across various divisions and workshops of the North Western Railway. Candidates will have the opportunity to undergo training in railway divisions such as Ajmer, Bikaner, Jaipur, and Jodhpur. The recruitment includes technical trades such as Fitter, Welder, and Electrician. Before applying, candidates should carefully review the official notification to check for available positions in their specific trade and the corresponding division.
Requirement: 50% Marks in Class 10 and an ITI Certificate
To apply for this railway recruitment, candidates must have passed Class 10 (matriculation) or an equivalent examination under the 10+2 education system from a recognized board. Additionally, candidates must have secured at least 50% marks in Class 10. It is also mandatory for candidates to possess an ITI certificate in the relevant trade. This certificate must be obtained from an institution recognized by the NCVT or SCVT; in other words, candidates who have only passed Class 10 are not eligible—they must also hold the required ITI qualification in the relevant trade.
Eligibility: Candidates Aged 15 to 24 Years
Regarding the age limit, candidates must be at least 15 years old and no older than 24 years. The age will be calculated as of November 22, 2026. Candidates from reserved categories will be granted relaxations in the upper age limit in accordance with government regulations. Specifically, candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) will receive a five-year relaxation, while candidates from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category will be granted a three-year relaxation in the upper age limit.
Application Fee of ₹100 for the General Category
The application fee for this recruitment varies by category. Candidates belonging to the General (UR), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) categories are required to pay an application fee of ₹100. Conversely, candidates from the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories, as well as female candidates from all categories, are fully exempted from the application fee—meaning they can apply without any payment.
Online Applications Open Until November 22
The online application process for the Railway Apprentice recruitment commenced on October 23, 2026. Candidates have until November 22, 2026, to submit their applications; the process will close at 11:59 PM on that date.
