RRB NTPC Graduate Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must meet the educational qualification, age, medical and other conditions specified in CEN 06/2026. The notification is the controlling document for the applicable age reckoning date, category-wise relaxations, post-specific requirements and medical standards. Candidates should not assume that the age range or qualification rules from an earlier NTPC cycle automatically apply to this recruitment.
- Educational qualification: A recognised university degree or its equivalent is required for graduate-level NTPC posts, subject to the post-specific terms in the CEN.
- Typing requirement: Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and Senior Clerk Cum Typist have a qualifying typing skill requirement as described in the notification.
- Medical standards: The medical category differs by post. Check the medical standard before selecting preferences.
- Age and relaxation: Use the age cut-off and relaxation table in CEN 06/2026, not a previous recruitment notice.

The initial basic pay is ₹35,400 per month for Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor (Pay Level 6) and ₹29,200 per month for Goods Train Manager, Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and Senior Clerk Cum Typist (Pay Level 5). Dearness allowance, house rent allowance, travel benefits and other admissible components are governed by applicable Railway rules and posting conditions.
