RRB NTPC official file kit

Prepare the RRB NTPC (CEN 06/2025 & CEN 07/2025) signature upload (JPG/JPEG, 30-49 KiB, minimum 140x60 px) and the optional SC/ST certificate PDF (under 400 KiB) using the official CEN rules. RRB captures the application photograph live inside the portal for this cycle, so this page does not prepare an NTPC photo file.

How to prepare

  • Sign in black ink on white paper using your normal running/cursive handwriting - RRB rejects block letters, capital letters and disjointed signatures.
  • Mark a 35 mm x 20 mm box on the paper, sign inside it, and scan the sheet at a minimum of 100 DPI so the signature meets the stated 140 x 60 px minimum.
  • 140 x 60 px is a stated minimum, not a fixed size - do not shrink below it even if a generic resizer defaults to an exact-size output.
  • Never submit a thumb impression in place of a signature; RRB explicitly lists this as a rejection ground for CEN 06/2025 and CEN 07/2025.
  • This signature must match what is captured again at the CBT, Document Verification, Medical Examination and Appointment stages.

Source: Official RRB CEN 06/2025 & CEN 07/2025 (Para 14.5.1): scan the signed paper at a minimum resolution of 100 DPI. JPG/JPEG only. File size between 30 KB and 49 KB. Image dimensions: minimum 140 x 60 pixels - this is a floor, not a maximum. The signature must be centered inside a 35 mm (width) x 20 mm (height) scan box marked on the paper before scanning.

How to prepare

  • Only upload this if you are an SC/ST candidate opting for the free railway travel pass - it is not required for every applicant.
  • Use a PDF only; convert a scanned certificate into a PDF before uploading.
  • Keep the PDF under 400 KB; RRB states no minimum, so a smaller, legible scan is fine.
  • The certificate must be valid as on the closing date of the specific CEN you applied under (20.11.2025 for CEN 06/2025, 27.11.2025 for CEN 07/2025), not simply 'recent.'

Source: Official RRB CEN 06/2025 & CEN 07/2025 (Para 14.5.2): SC/ST certificate for candidates requesting the free train travel pass must be uploaded in PDF format only, file size less than 400 KB. No minimum size is stated. The certificate must be the latest and valid certificate as on the closing date of online application submission.

Date notes

  • Dates above are for CEN 06/2025 (NTPC Graduate, 5,810 vacancies): opening 21.10.2025, closing 20.11.2025 (23:59 Hrs), fee-payment deadline 22.11.2025, modification window 23.11.2025-02.12.2025. Source: official CEN 06/2025 PDF, page 4 (important dates table).
  • The sibling CEN 07/2025 (NTPC Under Graduate, 3,058 vacancies) has its own window: opened 28.10.2025, closed 27.11.2025 (23:59 Hrs), fee-payment deadline 29.11.2025, modification window 30.11.2025-09.12.2025. Do not apply CEN 06/2025's dates to CEN 07/2025 or vice versa - several third-party trackers wrongly attribute CEN 07/2025's 27.11.2025 closing date to CEN 06/2025.
  • Both application windows are CLOSED as of 2026-07-10, but both CENs are in active downstream stages: CEN 06/2025 CBT-2 is officially scheduled for 10.07.2026 (today) per an RRB Chennai notice dated 12.06.2026, and CEN 07/2025 completed CBT-1 on 07-09 May and 13,14,16-21 June 2026 per an official tentative-schedule notice dated 13.04.2026.
  • CEN 07/2025 CBT-1 result and document-verification timing after the June 2026 exam has not been found on an official RRB result PDF as of 2026-07-10 - treat any 'result in 2-3 months' claim as third-party (Shiksha/Testbook-style trackers), not official, until an RRB PDF confirms it.
  • This page only prepares upload files for the closed CEN 06/2025 and CEN 07/2025 windows. It is not the official RRB application portal; applications are submitted at rrbapply.gov.in, and a future NTPC CEN (08/2025+ or a new cycle) must be independently re-verified before reusing this preset.

Submission-readiness check

RRB NTPC applicants usually need more than a compressed file. Use this page to prepare the source-backed files, then finish the remaining steps on the official portal.

Still on the official portal

SarkariDoc cannot submit the form, capture live portal photos, make payments, or edit RRB common application portal (rrbapply.gov.in). Keep the official portal open for final submission.

  • Confirms CEN 06/2025 opening 21.10.2025, closing 20.11.2025 (23:59), fee-payment deadline 22.11.2025, modification window 23.11.2025-02.12.2025, and Grand Total vacancies of 5,810.
  • Confirms CEN 07/2025 opening 28.10.2025, closing 27.11.2025 (23:59), fee-payment deadline 29.11.2025, modification window 30.11.2025-09.12.2025, and Grand Total vacancies of 3,058.

RRB NTPC upload rules and common rejection reasons

Each rule below comes from the official RRB NTPC source, last checked on 2026-07-10. Portals reject files that break these rules even when the KB size is right, so check your file against them before final submission.

About this exam

RRB NTPC is running as two parallel 2025 Centralised Employment Notifications: CEN 06/2025 for Graduate posts (5,810 vacancies) and CEN 07/2025 for Under Graduate posts (3,058 vacancies), both conducted by the Railway Recruitment Boards. Both application windows are closed, and both CENs are in active downstream exam stages as of 2026-07-10. Both official CEN notifications capture the candidate's application photograph LIVE through a webcam or the phone's front camera during the application itself (Para 14.4), so there is no photo file to prepare for this cycle - only a scanned signature, and for SC/ST candidates opting for the free train travel pass, a certificate PDF.

RRB NTPC (CEN 06/2025 Graduate and CEN 07/2025 Under Graduate) candidates preparing the scanned signature upload, or SC/ST candidates preparing the free train travel pass certificate PDF, to match rrbapply.gov.in validation rules. The application photograph is captured live in the portal, not uploaded, so there is nothing to prepare for that field on this cycle.
