RRC Jaipur Apprentice Recruitment 2026 – 2008 Posts, Apply by 06.11.2026

Last updated: October 2, 2026 at 3:57 PM

North Western Railway has opened 2008 apprentice slots, and every one of them is in Rajasthan: Jaipur, Bikaner, Ajmer and Jodhpur. An apprentice is a trainee who learns a trade on the job under the Apprentices Act 1961, so this is training and not a regular railway job. If you passed Class 10 with at least 50% marks and hold an ITI certificate (a trade course run by an Industrial Training Institute), you can apply online at rrcjaipur.in from 07.10.2026 to 06.11.2026. Selection is on marks alone, with no written exam.

Recruitment Overview

Important Dates

Application Fee

You pay online through a payment gateway once your form is complete. Any bank or card charges for the payment are yours to bear.

Vacancy Details

All 2008 slots are for training at eight units of North Western Railway. You choose one unit when you apply. The notice says the slot numbers are provisional and may go up or down when the railway finalises selection.

Unit-wise and category-wise slots

DRM means Divisional Railway Manager’s Office. UR is Unreserved, OBC is Other Backward Classes, SC is Scheduled Castes, ST is Scheduled Tribes and EWS is Economically Weaker Sections.

Slots for PwBD and Ex-Servicemen

These slots are not extra. They are counted inside the totals above. VI is visually impaired, HI is hearing impaired, LD is locomotor disability or cerebral palsy, MD is multiple disabilities, and Ex-SM is ex-servicemen.

Trade-wise slots in each unit

Slots from all departments of a unit (such as Engineering, S and T, and TMC) are added together for each trade. Check that your unit has slots for your trade before you apply.

COPA is Computer Operator and Programming Assistant. TMC is the Engineering (TMC) department of a unit. The notification gives the full UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS split for every trade in each unit. Open the official notification (pages 3 to 7) for that detail.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Relaxation

So an OBC candidate must not have completed 27 years on 06.11.2026, and an SC or ST candidate must not have completed 29 years.

Rules for candidates with disability

Selection Process

In short: there is no written test. Your rank is the average of your Class 10 and ITI percentages, and you compete only with people who chose the same unit and trade.

Stipend and Training Terms

The notice names no stipend figure, so do not rely on a number from another site. Treat this as a training place, not a job offer.

How to Apply

1. Check the trade table above and pick one unit that has slots for your ITI trade. You cannot change it after you submit.
2. Open rrcjaipur.in from 07.10.2026 and start the online application for Apprentice 04/2026. Detailed instructions will be on the website.
3. Fill in your details exactly as they are in your Class 10 certificate. Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number, an active mobile number and a working email ID.
4. Upload your photograph and signature in the sizes given under Documents Required below.
5. Pay the fee online if you are not exempt. After payment you return to the RRC site to download your form. If money was deducted but the form did not download, click “Verify Payment”.
6. Print your application, keep the e-receipt and note down your registration number. You will need them later.

Note: Do not post a printed copy to RRC. Offline applications are not accepted, and a posted copy is ignored. A helpline number will appear on the website from 07.10.2026 (10:00 to 17:00, except Sundays and holidays).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Picking a unit that has no slot for your trade. The notice says your application then becomes meaningless, and you cannot change it after you submit.
• Sending more than one application. The notice says all of them are rejected.
• Typing your name, father’s name or birth date differently from your Class 10 certificate. A mismatch at verification cancels your candidature.
• Waiting for the last day. The notice warns that the site can jam, and RRC takes no responsibility if you miss the deadline.
• Applying while you still wait for your final exam result. You must hold the Class 10 and ITI qualifications on the day you submit.
• Using an old or unclear photograph. RRC can reject the form if your photo is older than 3 months or does not look like you.
