RRC WR Apprentice Online Form 2026

This page tracks RRC WR Apprentice Online Form 2026, a recruitment notification. The key figures are an application window closing 23 March 2026 and a fee of ₹100 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Indian Railways recruits through Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) and Railway Recruitment Cells (RRC). Railway selection normally runs one or more computer-based tests followed, depending on the post, by a physical efficiency test, document verification and a medical examination with post-specific vision standards.

Applications open on 21 February 2026 and close on 23 March 2026, giving candidates 31 days to complete the process. The 31-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it.

The age limit runs from 15 to 24 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 9-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Class 10 High School Exam 50% Marks with ITI Certificate in Related Trade / Stream. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / PH and Female All Category are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹100. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

For this level of recruitment the written stage is a filter and the physical test is the real eliminator. Train for the PET events named in the notification in parallel with written preparation rather than after the result.
