Hello
As your question is not clear and specific, but yes, I can answer based on my understanding.
Yes, RRB NTPC does have a medical test after document verification. The medical exam checks your vision, physical fitness, colour vision, and whether you meet the job-specific health standards. Different posts like Goods Guard, Station Master, and Typist have different medical categories such as A-2, A-3, B-2, and C-2. You must pass the medical standards to get the final appointment.

Hello, I'll clarify the EWS certificate rules for you.
First, I am assuming your certificate's "valid for the financial year 2025 to 2025" is a typo and you mean it is valid for the Financial Year 2025-2026 (meaning it was issued on or after April 1, 2025).
If that is the case, then Yes, you are eligible for the RRB NTPC Graduate 2025 exam.
I hope you found this information helpful and for study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day!
Hello,
For RRB NTPC Graduation 2025, the notification requires a Central OBC certificate issued after April 2025. Since your certificate is from Dec 2024, it does not meet the specified date criteria.
In this situation:
You cannot use your existing certificate for the application, as the portal will not accept dates before April 2025.
The only option is to apply for a fresh OBC certificate after April 2025 from your relevant authority (Tehsildar / Revenue office) once the new window opens.
Keep all documents ready to avoid delays, as the certificate is mandatory for OBC reservation and eligibility.
Do not enter old certificate details, as it may lead to rejection of your application. You must have a certificate that complies with the RRB NTPC notification.
Hope you understand.
Hello,
Yes, you should get an OBC certificate to apply for the RRB NTPC exam if you belong to the BC community and are a Muslim .
Here’s why:
In central government jobs (like RRB), the OBC category is considered under the Central OBC list .
So, even if your community is listed as BC in your state, you must check whether it is included in the Central OBC list for your state.
If it is included, then you can apply under the OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) category after getting a valid OBC certificate issued as per central government rules.
Hope it helps !
