Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Application Guidelines: ALP, Technician & NTPC

Technical standards, photo specifications, and common rejection grounds on rrbapply.gov.in

The Indian Railways (RRB) Recruitment Standards

The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) recruit for some of the largest employment drives in the world, covering Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP), Technicians, Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC), Junior Engineers (JE), and Group D positions. The unified portal at rrbapply.gov.in enforces strict automated checks during document submission.

Because Indian Railways staff must meet stringent physical and medical fitness standards (especially vision and visual acuity for safety categories), candidate photographs undergo meticulous cross-verification against physical biometric scans at computerized test centers.

Official RRB Photo & Signature Criteria

  • Photo Dimensions: 35 mm × 45 mm (or 320 × 240 pixels to 350 × 450 pixels).
  • Photo File Weight: 30 KB to 70 KB (recent notifications allow up to 70 KB, though older forms specified 20–50 KB).
  • Face Dominance: The face must occupy at least 75% of the photograph.
  • Background: Plain white background only. Photographs taken with mobile selfies, group photos, or against colorful walls are rejected.
  • Signature Requirements: Dimensions of 50 mm × 20 mm (or 140 × 60 pixels), file weight 30 KB to 70 KB, signed with black or blue ballpoint pen on white paper in running hand.

  1. 1Use of old photographs differing substantially from present appearance.
  2. 2Wearing sunglasses, tinted glasses, or head coverings.
  3. 3Blurry low-resolution photos taken on low-end cameras.
  4. 4Signatures signed in CAPITAL letters or signed on behalf of the candidate by family members.
