What is the RRB ALP age limit?

RRB ALP (Assistant Loco Pilot) and Technician: General/EWS 18–28 years, OBC 18–31 years, SC/ST 18–33 years. This is stricter than NTPC and Group D.

What is the cut-off date for Railway age calculation?

Unlike UPSC (Aug 1) or SSC (Jan 1), Railway age is measured on the last date of application as specified in each notification. Always check your specific recruitment notification.

Does EWS get age relaxation in Railway exams?

No. EWS (Economically Weaker Section) has the same age limits as General/UR in all Railway exams. No additional age relaxation is given to EWS.

What is Ex-Serviceman age relaxation in Railway?

Ex-Servicemen get relaxation as per their military service period. The exact formula is: actual age minus years of defence service, with the resulting age not exceeding the post-specific upper limit. Verify from the official notification.

If I am 34 years (General) — can I apply for any Railway exam?

For NTPC and Group D, General limit is 33 — so no. However, check state-level Railway recruitment or contract/outsourced positions which may have different limits. OBC gets up to 36, SC/ST up to 38 for NTPC/Group D.

Where should I verify my Railway eligibility?

Always verify from the official recruitment notification published at your zonal RRB website (e.g., rrbcdg.gov.in, rrbmumbai.gov.in) or the RRB main portal. Age limits can change between recruitments.
