RRB NTPC UG 2026 under CEN 07/2026 is for 1,688 under graduate level posts across all RRBs: Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Clerk cum Typist and Trains Clerk. Candidates with 12th pass aged 18 to 30 on 01.01.2027 can apply online from 15.10.2026 to 13.11.2026.
The biggest change this time is the typing test. CEN 07/2026 has dropped the Computer Based Typing Skill Test for the two clerk cum typist posts. Typing is still expected, but it will be checked after joining, not as a selection stage.
