The Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC), North Western Railway, Jaipur has invited online applications for 2,008 apprentice training positions under its 2026–27 recruitment programme. Candidates who have passed Class 10 and hold an ITI certificate in the relevant trade can apply through the official recruitment website.

The application process began on 23 October 2026, and the last date to submit the online form is 22 November 2026, at 11:59 PM. The vacancies are spread across different railway divisions and workshops under North Western Railway.

This recruitment is a good opportunity for young candidates who want to gain practical technical experience in the railway sector. However, applicants should understand that these are apprenticeship training positions, not permanent railway jobs.

Selection will be based on academic performance rather than a written examination or interview. Candidates should therefore check the trade requirements, age limit and ITI certificate conditions carefully before applying.

The recruitment covers a total of 2,008 apprentice positions across North Western Railway divisions and workshops. The available trades include Electrician, Welder, Fitter, Carpenter, Diesel Mechanic, Electronics Mechanic, Computer Operator and Programming Assistant (COPA), Painter, Plumber, Blacksmith, Turner, Machinist, Wireman, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic, and other notified trades.

The number of vacancies varies by division and workshop. Candidates should refer to the official notification and select a unit where their chosen trade is available. The notification includes opportunities across locations such as Ajmer, Bikaner, Jaipur and Jodhpur, along with railway workshops.

Applicants must have passed Class 10 or an equivalent examination with at least 50 per cent aggregate marks. They must also hold an ITI certificate in the relevant trade issued by the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) or the State Council for Vocational Training (SCVT). The trade qualification must match the requirements for the apprenticeship position selected.

The prescribed age limit is 15 to 24 years as on 22 November 2026. Upper-age relaxation is available for reserved categories according to the applicable rules. SC and ST candidates receive five years of relaxation, while OBC candidates receive three years. Eligible persons with benchmark disabilities and ex-servicemen can also claim relaxation as specified in the notification.

There will be no written examination or interview for this recruitment. The merit list will be prepared by calculating the average percentage of marks obtained in Class 10 and the relevant ITI qualification. In other words, the Class 10 percentage and ITI percentage will be added and divided by two. Candidates shortlisted on merit will be called for document verification and medical examination.

The application fee is ₹100 for candidates in the categories required to pay. Women, SC, ST and PwBD candidates are exempt from the fee, according to the recruitment notice. Payment can be made online through the available payment options.

The online application window opened on 23 October 2026 and will close on 22 November 2026 at 11:59 PM. Interested candidates should visit the RRC Jaipur recruitment website, register with their personal details, select the appropriate division or unit and trade, upload the required photograph and signature, and complete the fee payment if applicable.

Before submitting the form, applicants should verify that all details match their educational and identity documents. A copy of the submitted application should be kept for future reference.

Candidates should read the complete notification before applying and remember that apprenticeship training does not guarantee permanent employment in Indian Railways.
