There is good news for candidates who missed the original deadline for the Railway Recruitment Boards’ NTPC undergraduate recruitment. The last date to apply online for RRB NTPC UG 2026 has been extended to 15 November 2026, 11:59 PM. The extension came through Corrigendum-1, issued by the Railway Recruitment Boards on 13 November 2026, and it pushes the deadline by two days from the earlier date of 13 November.
Today is the final day to submit the form. Candidates who have not applied yet should complete both the application and the fee payment before midnight tonight, because the fee payment deadline is also 15 November. The recruitment, advertised under Centralised Employment Notice (CEN) No. 07/2026, offers 1,688 undergraduate-level posts in Indian Railways for candidates who have passed Class 12.
What changed in the corrigendum
The detailed notification for CEN 07/2026 was released on 14 October 2026, and online applications opened on 15 October. The original last date was 13 November. With Corrigendum-1 dated 13 November, the boards moved the application deadline to 15 November 2026, 11:59 PM. The fee payment deadline now falls on the same day, so both steps must be finished together.
Candidates who have already applied do not need to do anything today. The application correction window opens next, from 16 to 25 November 2026, for permitted changes. A modification fee of Rs 250 applies for each correction. Note that details entered during account creation and the RRB selected at the time of registration cannot be changed later, even in the correction window.
1,688 vacancies across four posts
The recruitment covers four undergraduate-level posts in Pay Levels 2 and 3 of the 7th Central Pay Commission. Commercial cum Ticket Clerk carries the largest share of vacancies, followed by Junior Clerk cum Typist.
- Commercial cum Ticket Clerk: 700 posts, Pay Level 3, starting basic pay Rs 21,700
- Junior Clerk cum Typist: 600 posts, Pay Level 2, starting basic pay Rs 19,900
- Accounts Clerk cum Typist: 200 posts, Pay Level 2, starting basic pay Rs 19,900
- Trains Clerk: 188 posts, Pay Level 2, starting basic pay Rs 19,900
Selected candidates also receive allowances such as dearness allowance, house rent allowance and transport allowance as per railway rules. The vacancies are spread across 21 Railway Recruitment Boards and various railway zones and production units. South Eastern Railway has the highest share with 241 posts, followed by Eastern Railway with 221 posts.
Who can apply
The minimum qualification is a pass in Class 12 or its equivalent. Candidates must be between 18 and 30 years of age as on 1 January 2027, with age relaxation available for reserved categories as per the notification. Each candidate can apply to only one RRB under CEN 07/2026, so the choice of board and post preferences needs care. Multiple applications to more than one board can lead to rejection.
The boards have advised candidates to verify their identity through Aadhaar or DigiLocker during the application process, and to make sure the name and date of birth match the Class 10 certificate. A live photograph is captured during the process, and the signature and other documents must be uploaded in the prescribed format.
Application fee
The fee is Rs 500 for General, OBC and other candidates not covered by the concessional category, of which Rs 400 is refunded after appearing in the first-stage CBT, subject to bank charges. For SC, ST, ex-servicemen, PwBD, female, transgender, minority and economically backward class candidates, the fee is Rs 250, with a refund as per the recruitment rules. The fee must be paid online by 15 November 2026.

Selection process and exam pattern
Selection will be through two computer-based tests, followed by document verification and a medical examination. One notable change in this cycle is that the CBT-based Typing Skill Test has been removed for the Junior Clerk cum Typist and Accounts Clerk cum Typist posts.
CBT 1 carries 100 questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes, covering General Awareness (40), Mathematics (30) and General Intelligence and Reasoning (30). CBT 2 carries 120 questions for 120 marks in 90 minutes, with the same three subjects. Both papers carry negative marking of one-third of the marks for each wrong answer. The dates for CBT 1 and CBT 2 have not been announced yet.
Do not confuse this notification with the RRB NTPC Graduate recruitment under CEN 06/2026. The two drives have separate eligibility rules, vacancies and schedules.
