CEN 07/2026 covers the Undergraduate category of RRB NTPC recruitment. The detailed Centralised Employment Notice will provide the final educational qualification and post-specific eligibility conditions.

The recruitment is being reported as the 10+2 / 12th-level NTPC cycle. However, candidates should check the detailed CEN before applying rather than assuming that every condition from an earlier NTPC recruitment remains unchanged.

What Candidates Should Check in the Detailed Notification

• Post-wise educational qualification
• Required qualification completion date
• Typing proficiency for applicable clerical posts
• Age limit and category relaxation
• RRB-wise and category-wise vacancies
• Medical standards applicable to the selected post

• Age Calculation Date: 01 January 2027
• Minimum Age: To Be Confirmed in Detailed Notification
• Maximum Age: To Be Confirmed in Detailed Notification
• Category-wise age relaxation will be applicable as prescribed in CEN 07/2026.

Note: The 1,688 vacancies are tentative and represent the combined vacancy position across participating RRBs. Detailed post-wise, category-wise and RRB-wise vacancies should be updated after the detailed CEN 07/2026 is released.

The application window is expected to open on 15 October 2026. Once CEN 07/2026 becomes active, use the official RRB application portal and select the NTPC Undergraduate recruitment. Do not accidentally choose CEN 06/2026, which belongs to the Graduate-level cycle.

The short notice does not reproduce the complete examination scheme for CEN 07/2026. The detailed notification will be the final source for the stage-wise pattern, qualifying rules and negative marking.

Expected Recruitment Stages

1. First Stage Computer Based Test (CBT-I)
2. Second Stage Computer Based Test (CBT-II)
3. Typing Skill Test for applicable posts

Typing is relevant only to posts for which the detailed CEN prescribes a typing requirement. Candidates should not assume that every NTPC Undergraduate post has the same skill-test stage.
