What this means for you
This is the undergraduate NTPC notice - Class 12 (or equivalent) is the qualification, with age reckoned on 1 January 2027 - and it runs on its own window, 15 October to 13 November, through rrbapply.gov.in. One caution about the numbers: the vacancy figure of about 1,688 is what reports citing the notification say, so confirm the post-wise break-up, pay levels and selection stages in the CEN 07/2026 PDF on your zonal RRB's site before you choose posts in the form. Graduates have a separate notice (CEN 06/2026) for the graduate-level posts; read both before deciding where your profile fits. The bilingual FAQ published the same day is the quickest way to settle eligibility doubts in Hindi.
