Candidates searching for the RRB Group D age limit 2027 should first check whether a new official recruitment notification has been released. As of 21 October 2026, the latest confirmed recruitment covered by the available research is CEN 09/2025.
Its eligibility rules are useful as a reference, but they should not be treated as confirmed rules for a future 2027 recruitment cycle. Source: RRB recruitment notices and CEN 09/2025.
Latest RRB Group D Recruitment Status
CEN 09/2025 covers Level-1 posts in Indian Railways and announced 22,195 vacancies. Applications closed on 9 March 2026. The reported CBT took place from 3 to 25 August 2026. Candidates should check official RRB websites for subsequent results and recruitment notices.
No official 2027 notification was identified in the research available as of 21 October 2026. The age limits and eligibility details below therefore refer to CEN 09/2025 unless a new official notification confirms otherwise.
RRB Group D Age Limit
Under CEN 09/2025, the minimum age is 18 years. The maximum age depends on the candidate’s category and is calculated as of 1 January 2026.
The date of birth in the application must match the Matriculation, SSLC or equivalent certificate. Any discrepancy may cause problems during document verification.
Upper-Age Relaxation
Eligible candidates may receive additional relaxation according to the rules in the applicable recruitment notification.
RRB Group D Qualification
The rrb group d qualification requirements under CEN 09/2025 include one of the following, as specified for the relevant recruitment:
- Class 10 pass from a recognised board.
- ITI qualification.
- An equivalent qualification accepted under the notification.
- National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) granted by NCVT.
Candidates awaiting the results of their final qualifying examination were not eligible under the stated conditions. An engineering diploma or degree does not automatically replace ITI or the specified apprenticeship qualification.
Candidates should check the exact qualification requirement rather than assuming that every Level-1 post has identical conditions.
