As per Western Railway Apprentice Official Notification 2026

MODE OF SELECTION:- 

6.1 The selection of eligible applicants for training under the Apprentices Act, 1961 will be based on a merit list, which shall be prepared by taking the average of the percentage of marks obtained in both Matriculation (with a minimum of 50% aggregate marks) and the ITI examination, with equal weightage given to both. 

6.2 In the event of two or more applicants securing the same marks, preference will be given to the older candidate. If the dates of birth are also identical, the candidate who passed the Matriculation examination earlier will be given priority.There will be no written test or viva. 

6.3 Applicants are not required to send any hard copies of applications, certificates, or documents to RRC/WR by post. All relevant documents must be uploaded online only. 

6.4 Calculation of Marks: 

a. For the purpose of calculating the percentage of SSC/Matriculation marks, the total marks of all subjects mentioned in the marksheet shall be considered. The calculation must not be based on the 'best of five' approach, but should include all subjects, including optional, additional, and alternate subjects. Applicants with a CGPA must convert it to actual marks and enter the equivalent percentage in the online application. Please note that the final score must be calculated by adding the marks of all subjects, and not just a specific group of subjects.

b. For the purpose of calculating the percentage of ITI marks, the average marks as reflected in the consolidated statement of marks for all semesters of the applied trade as specified in the Provisional National Trade Certificate issued by NCVT shall be taken into account. These marks must be correctly and duly entered by the applicant in the online application. 

Note:-Applicants are advised to note that any discrepancy between the Marks/CGPA entered in the online application and the corresponding entries in the original marksheet or certificate, if detected during document verification, will lead to rejection of their candidature summarily. 

6.5 The trade-wise and community-wise merit list will be prepared and issued by the concerned Divisions/Units for their notified slots. Applicants will be called by the respective Division/Unit based on merit in the relevant trade, taking into account the Division/Workshop opted by the candidate. In the event of any shortfall in a particular trade within a given Division or Workshop, Western Railway reserves the right to redistribute candidates to other Divisions/Workshops as deemed necessary. 

6.6 The final selection of applicants shall be subject to the verification of original documents/testimonials and submission of a Medical Fitness Certificate, as prescribed in Annexure-G. 

6.7 Candidates on the standby list will be issued call letters only upon receipt of details regarding absentees, medically unfit, or rejected candidates from the merit list allotted to the concerned Divisions/Workshops. Call letters will be issued strictly in the order of merit. 

6.8 Applicants are advised to remain prepared to report to the allotted Divisions and Workshops at short notice for Document / Certificate verification.
