The Ministry of Railways, Government of India, functions through 21 Railway Recruitment Boards that handle hiring for Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) posts across all zonal railways and production units. The RRB NTPC Recruitment 2026 drive is being carried out through two separate Centralised Employment Notifications (CEN), one for graduate-level posts and one for undergraduate-level posts, and applications for both will be accepted only through the online mode at rrbapply.gov.in.
In this recruitment drive, CEN No. 06/2026 covers NTPC (Graduate) posts with 3,477 vacancies at Pay Level 5 and 6, while CEN No. 07/2026 covers NTPC (Undergraduate) posts with 1,688 vacancies at Pay Level 2 and 3. Both notices, dated 26th September 2026, are indicative in nature, meaning candidates are being informed in advance so they can keep their certificates and documents ready before the detailed CEN is released.
