*In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a provision has been made to extend a relaxation of 3 years beyond the upper age limit for candidates who missed opportunities to participate in railway recruitment due to age constraints.


For candidates belonging to different categories, the upper age limit is specified as follows:
