Note
Dosto, RRC NWR Apprentice me sabse important cheez 10th aur ITI ke marks hain, kyunki selection merit ke basis par hona hai aur written exam nahi hai. Form bharne se pehle apne ITI trade ko selected unit ki vacancy list se जरूर match kar lena. Ek candidate ko sirf one Division/Unit choose karna hai, isliye ye selection carefully karna. Apprentice training complete hone ke baad Railway me permanent job automatically nahi milti, is point ko form bharne se pehle clear samajh lena. Application submit karne ke baad printout aur documents safe rakhna, kyunki DV ke time inki जरूरत पड़ेगी.
