Pay Level 6 applies to Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor; the remaining three posts are at Level 5.
RRB NTPC Graduate 2026 fees, refunds and payment window
The examination fee is ₹500 for general categories and ₹250 for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Ex‑Servicemen, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, women, transgender, minorities and Economically Backward Class. On appearing in CBT‑1, ₹400 (from ₹500) or the full ₹250 is refunded, net of bank charges, to the Aadhaar‑seeded bank account. Ensure payment confirmation before the November 8 deadline.
One‑RRB rule and debarment: choose wisely
You can apply to only one Railway Recruitment Board. Multiple applications—across RRBs or duplicate forms—trigger outright rejection and debarment from future RRB and Railway Recruitment Cell recruitments. Chosen RRB and account details typically cannot be changed later, so align your choice with language preference, vacancy mix and medical standards before final submission.
