ऑनलाइन आवेदन शुरू हो चुका है, और रेलवे अपरेंटिस भर्ती के इस साइकिल में नॉर्थ वेस्टर्न रेलवे जयपुर ने साफ कर दिया है — मेरिट लिस्ट सिर्फ अंकों पर बनेगी, किसी परीक्षा पर नहीं।

RRC NWR Apprentice Recruitment 2026 — Overview

1,791 seats, four divisions. Jaipur and Ajmer typically pull the largest applicant pools in this zone — competition there tends to run tighter than in Bikaner or Jodhpur.

50:50 Merit Formula — How RRC NWR Calculates Your Rank

Here's how the 50:50 merit formula works: your 10th-grade percentage contributes exactly half your final score, and your ITI/NCVT percentage contributes the other half. No written test sits between your marksheet and your rank. A candidate with strong ITI marks but an average 10th score, and one with the reverse, can land at nearly the same rank — the formula treats both halves equally.

Or rather, looking at the workshop divisions — that's where trade-specific capacity actually gets decided, not just the division total.

Quick note: exact division-wise and trade-wise seat splits weren't independently confirmed at the time of writing. RRC NWR publishes this breakdown inside the official notification PDF — cross-check there before finalizing your division and trade preference.

RRC NWR ITI Trade Apprentice Eligibility Criteria 2026

• 10th pass (Matriculation) from a recognized board.
• ITI or NTC certificate in a relevant trade, issued by an NCVT-affiliated institute.
• Age: 15 to 24 years, with standard relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen categories.
• Candidate must not already be employed in regular Railway service.

If your ITI's NCVT-certified, don't miss out on these 1,791 seats — a non-NCVT trade certificate, however similar the name, will not be accepted at document verification.

RRC NWR Apprentice Monthly Stipend 2026

Selected apprentices receive a monthly stipend ranging from ₹7,700 to ₹8,050, as per Apprentices Act, 1961 provisions and applicable Railway Board directives. The stipend typically scales upward across the training period rather than staying fixed at a single figure throughout.

Three Things to Know Before You Apply

One: There is no written exam or interview anywhere in this process, so your final 10th and ITI marks — exactly as they appear on your original certificates — are what decide your rank, with no room to improve through test-day performance.

Two: Division-wise and workshop-wise seat splits aren't spelled out in generic summaries; matching your trade to the right division improves your realistic chances more than focusing on the total 1,791 figure alone.

Three: This is training under the Apprentices Act, 1961, not a direct Railway job, but the 20% Group D reservation earned on completion is a real, lasting benefit for future recruitment cycles.
