RRB NTPC Recruitment 2024: Final Deadline Approaches for Graduate Level Applications

The application process for the RRB NTPC 2024 is set to close on October 20, 2024. This extension from the initial deadline of October 13 provides additional time for candidates to participate in this significant recruitment drive by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs). As the deadline approaches, it is crucial for prospective applicants to ensure their forms are submitted promptly.

Application Fee and Payment Process

Understanding the application fee structure is essential for applicants. The standard fee for most candidates is INR 500, while those eligible for concessions—such as PwBD, female candidates, transgender individuals, ex-servicemen, SC/ST, minority communities, and economically backward classes—will only need to pay INR 250. The payment window for these fees will be open from October 21 to 22, 2024. Candidates should note that they will receive a refund of their application fees once they appear for the Computer-Based Test (CBT).

Correction Window and Important Dates

After submitting the application form, candidates will have an opportunity to make corrections if necessary. The correction window will be available from October 23 to October 30, 2024. Candidates wishing to make minor changes can do so by paying a modification fee of INR 100. However, switching categories—like from SC/ST to UR or OBC—will incur additional fees.
