# RRBs announce 3,477 graduate-level NTPC vacancies 2026-10-07T12:33:08+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have issued a Centralised Employment Notification for 3,477 graduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) posts under Pay Levels 5 and 6 of the 7th Central Pay Commission. Online applications will open on 8 October 2026 and close at 11:59 pm on 6 November 2026. The RRBs have advised candidates to keep their Aadhaar details updated and use Aadhaar-based verification to avoid delays. Names and dates of birth on Aadhaar must match Class 10 certificate records. The current notice is indicative, a detailed CEN with post-wise vacancies, eligibility, and selection pattern is yet to be released. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 3,477 vacancies cover only graduate-level NTPC posts, a fraction of the total annual RRB hiring. The indicative notification leaves the full post-wise breakup, eligibility, and exam pattern for the detailed CEN, which has not been scheduled. Candidates must wait for that document to assess competition and syllabus. The Aadhaar verification step, while standard, could become a hurdle if biometric or name mismatches are not corrected before the 6 November deadline. The RRB has not yet announced the date for the detailed CEN. ## Coverage - odishatv.in Factual notification announcement with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
