About the RRB NTPC application

The RRB Non-Technical Popular Categories exam fills station master, clerk and other railway posts. It recruits for Station Master, Goods Train Manager, Clerk, Typist and other non-technical posts, and the online form on regional RRB websites requires the images listed above.

RRB NTPC is conducted region-wise by the Railway Recruitment Boards, and the application asks for a recent colour photograph — many notifications specify it should be taken within the last three months. Keep extra printed copies of the exact photo you upload, because railway exam stages and document verification often ask for matching hard-copy photos. Photo sizes tend to run a little smaller (around 15–40 KB) than SSC.

⚠️ These figures are common, well-cited values — but exam requirements change between cycles. Always confirm the exact size and dimensions in the official Railway Recruitment Board notification on regional RRB websites before uploading.

Need the rest of your application ready? Set exact pixel sizes with the Image Resizer, size your signature with Signature Resize, get a clean white background from the Passport Photo Maker, and merge photo and signature into one image with the Photo + Signature Combiner.
