We cannot line Indian Railways Apprentice (Act) up against other exams yet
This does not mean Indian Railways Apprentice (Act) shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

How to applyPending verification
- 1Open the zonal railway's own website — for the NFR cycle, www.nfr.indianrailways.gov.in, then General Info > Departments > Personnel > Act Apprentice Notification — and follow the instructions for filling the ONLINE application.
- 2Register first, then log in. Only one application per candidate is allowed; more than one summarily disqualifies you.
- 3Read the training slots against your ITI trade carefully and enter the Units of your choice in clear order of preference — the preference order, not a test score, decides which Unit-Department-Trade you are considered for.
- 4Upload the colour photograph (clear front view, no cap or sunglasses) and the signature to the specifications on the website, and keep two extra copies of the same photograph for document verification.
- 5Upload the mandatory documents: Class X mark sheet and pass certificate, ITI consolidated semester mark sheet or provisional NTC with marks, the NCVT/SCVT trade certificate, and the category, EWS, disability, ex-serviceman or EBC certificates that apply.
- 6Pay the non-refundable application fee online through the payment gateway linked in the notification, unless exempt. If payment succeeds but the form does not download, use the 'Verify Payment' button to reconfirm.
- 7Preserve the Registration Number issued during submission and do not change the registered mobile number or email during the selection process.
- 8Take a printout of the submitted application. If found eligible, you will be called for Document Verification; a correction after submission costs Rs. 50 each time and registration details cannot be changed.
FAQsPending verification
Is there a written exam for Railway Act Apprentice?
No. The notification says candidates are shortlisted strictly on academic merit and the order of Unit-Department-Trade preference given in the application, followed by document verification. The merit list is built from Matriculation percentage (minimum 50% aggregate) and ITI marks in the trade applied for, and the final panel is the average of the Matriculation and ITI marks. There is no test and no interview.
Who conducts it — RRB or RRC?
The Railway Recruitment Cell / Personnel Department of each zonal railway, not the Railway Recruitment Boards. Each zone publishes its own centralized Act Apprentice notification with its own slots, trades, dates and fee, and applications go on that zone's own website.
What are the age and qualification limits?
Not below 15 and not above 24 years as on the closing date of the notification, with 5 years' relaxation for SC/ST, 3 for OBC and 10 for PwBD. You need Matriculation with at least 50% aggregate (not required for SC/ST/PwBD) plus an NCVT/SCVT National Trade Certificate in the notified trade, held on the date of the notification. Medical Laboratory Technician trades instead require Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and 50% in both Class 10 and Class 12.
Does completing the apprenticeship get me a railway job?
Not automatically. The notification is explicit that training under the Apprentices Act 1961 confers no right to appointment and the contract ends when training ends. What it does give is preference: 20% of notified Level-1 (erstwhile Group D) vacancies go to Course Completed Act Apprentices with an NCVT National Apprenticeship Certificate, provided they clear the minimum qualifying marks in the written examination for those posts.
What is the stipend?
The NFR 2026 notification states the current minimum stipend for NTC/STC holders is Rs. 9,600 per month with effect from 11.09.2025, rising to Rs. 10,560 and Rs. 11,040 where one or two years' curriculum exemption is admissible. No hostel accommodation is provided.
Can I apply to more than one zone or more than one trade?
Only one application is allowed against a given notification, and a second one disqualifies you. Within that one application you rank Unit-Department-Trade preferences; once you are selected against a higher preference, every lower preference is cancelled.
Final eligibility and dates are always subject to the latest official notification. Content marked “Pending verification” is not presented as verified advice.
