The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) are nearing the end of the application process for the RRB NTPC Undergraduate (UG) posts for the year 2025. This is a crucial opportunity for many young Indian students aged 15-18 years looking to secure a job in the Indian Railways. Candidates who are interested in these Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) roles and meet the undergraduate eligibility criteria must submit their applications online very soon. The final deadline to fill out and submit the RRB NTPC UG application form is December 4 . All aspiring candidates are urged to complete their forms well before this date to avoid any last-minute issues.
The application process also includes paying a fee. Candidates can pay their application fees online up to December 6 . This gives a short window after the application submission deadline for fee payment. It is important to complete both the application form and the fee payment by their respective deadlines for the application to be valid. The initial deadline for submitting the application was November 27, but it was extended to provide more time for applicants.
Application Fees and Correction Window
Understanding the application fees is key for all candidates. The fee for most applicants, including General category candidates, is INR 500 . However, the RRBs offer a reduced application fee of INR 250 for specific categories. These categories include:
- Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD)
- Female candidates
- Transgender candidates
- Ex-Servicemen
- Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates
- Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates

- Economically Backward Class (EBC) candidates
After submitting the application and paying the fee, candidates might find they need to correct some information. For this, the RRBs will open an application form correction window. This correction facility will be available from December 7 and will close on December 16 . During this period, applicants can log in and make necessary changes to their submitted forms. It is advised to use this window carefully to ensure all details are correct.
