The age limit for RRB exams can vary depending on the specific recruitment notification and the position being applied for. However, there are some general guidelines regarding the age limits set by the Railway Recruitment Board. Please note that the following information is based on the general age criteria, and it is advisable to refer to the official notification of the specific exam for accurate and up-to-date details.
For most RRB exams, the minimum age limit is 18 years, while the maximum age limit can vary based on the category of the candidate. Here are the general age limits for different categories:
· General Category (UR): The maximum age limit is usually around 30-32 years.
· OBC (Other Backward Classes): The maximum age limit is usually extended by a few years, typically up to 33-35 years.
· SC/ST (Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes): The maximum age limit is usually extended further for SC/ST candidates, often up to 35-40 years.
· Ex-Servicemen: Ex-servicemen candidates can avail age relaxation based on their years of service rendered in the armed forces, as specified in the recruitment notification.
· PWD (Persons with Disabilities): PWD candidates can also avail age relaxation based on their category (UR/OBC/SC/ST) and the extent of disability.
It's important to note that the age limits mentioned above are just general guidelines, and the specific age criteria may vary for each recruitment notification. The upper age limit may also be subject to certain relaxations or exceptions based on government regulations, such as for candidates from economically weaker sections (EWS), candidates with domiciles in specific states, or other reserved categories.
Candidates should carefully read the official notification of the RRB exam they are interested in to understand the specific age limits, age relaxations, and eligibility criteria applicable to their category and position.
