🔔 RRC Northern Railway Act Apprentice 2026-27 notified — 4,651 seats, apply 11 November to 11 December
10th (50%) + ITI eligible; merit on average of 10th and ITI percentages, no exam.
RRC NR WebsiteHow merit is calculated
Merit = (Class 10 % + ITI %) ÷ 2. Example: 70% in Class 10 and 80% in ITI gives 75%. Both carry equal weight, so strong 10th marks matter as much as ITI marks. Lists are prepared separately for each unit, trade and community.
