Sir, Please let me know whether Indian Railway provides any special class Apprenticeship for a student of ISC (Commerce) just like Special Class Apprenticeship for a student of ISC (Science)? If yes, please let me know in details?

With regret I have to inform you that those candidates who have studied 12th standard with commerce stream are not eligible for special class railway apprentice.
In order to get special class railway apprentice, you must have studied 12th standard in science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) conducts SCRA (Special Class Railway Apprentice) exam each and every year for apprentice position in Indian Railway academy.
