RRC WR Sports Quota Recruitment 2026 Notification Out - Apply Online for 64 Posts

Yes. This is all-India recruitment by Railway Recruitment Cell, Western Railway. There is no domicile or state-specific restriction. Candidates from any state can apply for any sport.

Qualification is not specified in the notification. Sports quota recruitment typically prioritises athletic achievement and performance in selection trials. Candidates must demonstrate competitive sporting history at state or national level. Confirm minimum education (if any) in the official notification at rrc-wr.com.

Stage 1: Selection Trial—candidates compete in their chosen sport under official selectors' evaluation. Criteria include technical skill, fitness, and match-play performance. Stage 2: Medical examination by Railway Medical Board. Stage 3: Document verification. Final merit list is prepared based on performance in the selection trial.

Notification does not explicitly permit multi-sport applications. Typically, sports quota recruitment requires candidates to specialise in one discipline. Confirm application rules at rrc-wr.com before registering.

Pay Level 2–5 depending on post and grade. Level 2: ₹19,900–₹24,500 basic (approx. ₹17,000–₹22,000 in-hand after NPS ~10% and tax). Level 5: ₹27,800–₹29,200 basic (approx. ₹24,500–₹26,000 in-hand).

Physical standards are sport-specific and enforced during the selection trial, not as a barrier to application. However, Railway typically requires candidates to meet general fitness benchmarks (cardio-vascular endurance, muscular strength). These will be detailed in the official notification and demonstrated during the trial.

SC/ST candidates: +5 years relaxation (upper age limit 30 years). OBC candidates: +3 years relaxation (upper age limit 28 years). General candidates: 18–25 years (no relaxation). PwD category relaxation (if applicable) will be mentioned in the official notification.

Notification does not explicitly state qualification requirements. Apply if you meet the age and nationality criteria. However, confirm at rrc-wr.com whether coursework completion is mandatory before the closing date.

After selection trial success: Stage 1—Medical examination by Railway Medical Board (typically 1–2 weeks). Stage 2—Document verification and final merit list publication (2–4 weeks). Stage 3—Offer of appointment and joining letter (4–6 weeks). Total timeline from selection trial to joining: 2–3 months, depending on Railway processing speed.
