Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The official website for all Southern Railway recruitment handled by the Railway Recruitment Cell is www.rrcmas.in. For centralized RRB exams like NTPC or Group D, candidates may also need to visit rrbchennai.gov.in.

Candidates must have passed the 10th standard (Matriculation) with a minimum of 50% marks and possess an ITI certificate in the relevant trade from an NCVT/SCVT recognized institution. Some "Fresher" categories may accept 12th pass candidates for specific medical trades.

While the Computer Based Test (CBT) is conducted centrally by the RRB (starting around early 2026), RRC Chennai manages the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Document Verification. Specific local Exam dates for these stages are usually announced 15-20 days after the CBT results.

For Apprentices, selection is purely based on Merit (average of 10th and ITI marks). For Group D and technical posts, the process involves a Computer Based Test (CBT), followed by a Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Document Verification, and a Medical Examination.
