The online application window opens on 20 July 2026 and closes on 19 August 2026, giving candidates ample time to prepare and submit a perfect application.
A total of 6,777 training slots are available across eight railway units and workshops in the NFR jurisdiction. Candidates can select their preferred unit while filling the online form. The vacancies are distributed as follows.
