Northeast Frontier Railway will close online registration for 6,777 apprentice posts on August 20, 2026. Eligible candidates can apply through the official website nfr.indianrailways.gov.in.
Applicants must be between 15 and 24 years of age. The application fee is Rs 100, with exemptions for SC, ST, PwBD, EBC and women candidates. Selection will be based on merit from Matriculation and ITI marks, or Matriculation and Class 12 Science marks for laboratory technician posts.
Candidates need to upload mark sheets and certificates for Class 10, ITI, and for lab technician roles, Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. EBC applicants must have a family income below Rs 50,000 per annum and upload a certificate issued on or after April 1, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is a large-scale railway apprentice intake, common for Indian Railways zonal units. The key figure to watch is the number of applicants versus posts, as merit-based selection means high competition in popular trades. Candidates should note that the exemption for EBC requires an income certificate dated after April 1, 2026, a strict condition that could disqualify many. The next milestone is the release of the merit list, typically within a few weeks after the August deadline.
