Therefore, it's crucial to refer to the official RRB notification for the specific recruitment year to confirm the applicable age criteria.

See RRB in general have a generalized pattern among all of it examinations. So if you prepare for RPF SI it would be more helpful for you to clear RRB Group D. I would recommend you to target the examination which is a level harder than what you target and believe me this increases the possibility.
