RRB NTPC graduate 2026: form correction window open November 9 to 18

Candidates who applied for the Railway Recruitment Boards' graduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) recruitment under notice CEN 06/2026 can correct mistakes in their application forms from Monday, 9 November to Wednesday, 18 November 2026, according to the recruitment schedule reported by national newspapers. The recruitment is for 3,548 graduate-level posts across Indian Railways, including 2,750 vacancies for Goods Train Manager. Applications closed on 6 November and the last date for fee payment was 8 November.

The NTPC recruitment is a national exercise run by the Railway Recruitment Boards, and this graduate-level round, notified as CEN 06/2026, covers 3,548 posts across the railway network. As the name suggests, Non-Technical Popular Categories are non-technical posts, and this round is open to graduates.

The correction window is a practical chance for applicants to fix errors before the exam. Mistakes in a name, date of birth, category, educational details or photograph can lead to problems at the document verification stage, months after the exam, when they are much harder to fix. Each applicant should log in, check every field against their certificates and correct any error before 18 November. Candidates should read the instructions on the portal carefully, because not every field may be open to change.

For young job-seekers, the size of the Goods Train Manager quota is notable. With 2,750 of the 3,548 posts, it accounts for most of the vacancies in this round. As the title suggests, the post is linked to the running of goods trains. The remaining posts are spread across three other graduate-level categories.

Peepals calculation: Goods Train Manager posts make up about 77.5% of the total (2,750 ÷ 3,548), leaving 798 vacancies (3,548 − 2,750) for the other three posts combined. The correction window runs for 10 days, from 9 to 18 November inclusive. Our calculation from the reported figures.

What the reader should do next: If you applied under CEN 06/2026, log in to the official RRB application portal during the window, compare each entry with your Class 10 certificate, graduation documents and category certificate, and save a copy of the corrected form. Do not rely on unofficial websites or agents for corrections; use only the official portals and notices.

Short-term: Applicants can now check and fix their forms. Once the window closes on 18 November, the chance to correct errors in this round ends.

Long-term: The recruitment will fill 3,548 graduate-level posts across the railway network, with Goods Train Managers forming the largest group.

Who is affected: Graduates who applied for railway NTPC posts under CEN 06/2026 and their families; coaching institutes preparing candidates; and the Railway Recruitment Boards that run the exam.

A final word of caution for applicants: be wary of any website or message offering paid help with corrections. The only safe route is the official RRB portal named in the notice, and no agent can change an application on a candidate's behalf through an unofficial channel.

What to watch next: The close of the correction window on 18 November 2026, and the Railway Recruitment Boards' next announcement on the exam schedule.
