Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have released an RRB NTPC Graduate CEN 06/2026 notice for Centralised Employment Notification, inviting applications for various Non-Technical Popular Categories (Graduate) posts. A total of 3,477 vacancies have been announced. Online applications will open on 8 October 2026 and close on 6 November 2026 (11:59 PM) — both dates are currently tentative.
As of this report, CEN 06/2026 had not yet appeared on individual RRB zonal websites (the most recent live listing checked was CEN 05/2026, dated 15 September 2026). This is a normal gap between an indicative notice’s release and its zone-wise upload — not a sign the recruitment is unofficial.
What Happened ?
RRBs, under the Ministry of Railways, issued a Government of India notice (No. RRB/PRY J/Advt./CEN/06/2026, dated 26 September 2026) announcing upcoming recruitment for Graduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories posts. The notice is explicitly marked “indicative” — meaning it confirms the recruitment is coming and gives headline numbers, while detailed eligibility, medical standards, and selection procedure will follow in the full CEN 06/2026.
This Graduate-level recruitment (3,477 posts) is part of a larger RRB NTPC exercise: the Railway Board has reportedly approved 5,165 total NTPC vacancies, including 1,688 Undergraduate-level posts expected to be notified separately.
