Selection Process
For RRC NWR Apprentice Recruitment 2026, RRC Jaipur will prepare the merit list without any exam or interview. Here is how it works:
- Your merit score is the simple average of your Class 10 percentage (all subjects) and your ITI percentage.
- Merit lists are made unit-wise, trade-wise and community-wise. There is no common merit list for all units.
- If two candidates have the same score, the older candidate gets preference. If the date of birth is also the same, the one who passed Class 10 earlier is placed higher.
- Shortlisted candidates attend document verification and a medical check at the chosen unit.
