RRB NTPC Age Limit for SC/ST Candidates
SC/ST candidates get a 5-year age relaxation over the General upper age limit — 2 years more than the OBC relaxation (3 years). On RRB NTPC's cutoff date of 1 January 2026, that works out to:
Graduate posts
18–41
(36 + 5)
Undergraduate posts
18–35
(30 + 5)
Worked example
An SC/ST candidate born 10 April 1987 is 38 years, 8 months old on the cutoff date, with 2 years, 3 months of margin left before the Graduate-post limit of 41.
