🎓 Educational Qualification
🔄 Selection Process — Merit-based, No Written Exam
Merit List (10th + ITI Marks)
Candidates shortlisted based on a merit score derived from 10th (Matriculation) and ITI marks. Higher combined percentage = higher merit rank. Merit list published separately for each trade. No written examination — academic performance is the sole criterion. Apply with accurate marks to avoid disqualification.
Document Verification
Original 10th marksheet and certificate, ITI (NCVT) certificate in the relevant trade, category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PH), age proof, residential/domicile certificate (if required). Trade mismatch between ITI certificate and applied post = disqualification.
Medical Examination
Railway standard medical fitness check. Vision, hearing, and physical fitness standards per Railway medical norms. Apprentices at manufacturing plants like RCF may have stricter fitness standards than office-based roles — verify medical standard from official notification.
No written exam — marks alone decide merit. Focus: apply with accurate 10th and ITI percentage. If your marks are borderline, ensure the trade you apply for has sufficient vacancies (Welder at 220 and Fitter at 180 are the most competitive in volume but also offer maximum slots).
✍ How to Apply
Confirm your trade first. Your ITI (NCVT) trade must exactly match the applied trade. Then check your 10th percentage and ITI percentage — both determine your merit rank.
Visit rcf.indianrailways.gov.in and find "Apprentice Recruitment 2026 / Notice A-1/2026." Register and fill the application for your specific trade. One candidate should apply for one trade (verify from notification if multiple trades are permitted).
Enter academic marks accurately — 10th marks and ITI marks. The merit list is built from these figures. Upload ITI (NCVT) certificate, 10th certificate, category certificate, and photo/signature.
Pay fee: ₹100 (General/OBC) · ₹0 (SC/ST/PH/All Female). Deadline: 05 September 2026. Submit and save confirmation. Monitor rcf.indianrailways.gov.in for merit list and DV dates.

NCVT और SCVT ITI में क्या फर्क है? क्या SCVT certificate से apply कर सकते हैं?
NCVT (National Council for Vocational Training) = Central Government body — national level recognised certification। India में सभी Railway/PSU/Central govt apprenticeships NCVT certificate mandatory करती हैं। SCVT (State Council for Vocational Training) = State-level body — state government recognised। SCVT certificate generally Railway jobs में accept नहीं होती जब NCVT specifically required हो। इस recruitment में source clearly "ITI (NCVT) Certificate" लिखा है। SCVT holders को official notification from rcf.indianrailways.gov.in verify करनी चाहिए कि वो eligible हैं या नहीं। अगर NCVT specifically required है तो SCVT से apply करना DV पर rejection का risk है।
RCF Kapurthala क्या है और यहाँ Apprenticeship क्यों valuable है?
RCF = Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala, Punjab — Indian Railways का premier coach manufacturing plant (est. 1987)। यहाँ AC coaches, LHB coaches, Metro coaches, और Vande Bharat train components बनते हैं। Apprenticeship यहाँ इसलिए valuable है: (1) Indian Railways का official factory experience, (2) Advanced manufacturing techniques (welding, machining, electrical systems in coaches), (3) Future Railway permanent recruitment में practical experience advantage, (4) PSU jobs में preferred। RCF apprenticeship = solid industrial credential।
Source में "Machinist" दो बार list है — क्या मैं दोनों के लिए apply कर सकता हूँ?
Source में "Machinist" दो बार आया है — 60 posts और 20 posts। यह likely दो अलग sub-trades हैं जैसे "Machinist" (conventional) और "Machinist Grinder" — लेकिन source clearly differentiate नहीं करता। Official notification at rcf.indianrailways.gov.in download करें और exact trade names verify करें। अपनी ITI certificate में जो trade है उसी के लिए apply करें — trade mismatch = DV rejection। दोनों entries के लिए एक ही ITI से apply possible है या नहीं यह भी notification से verify करें।
