Re: What is the eligibility for Special Class Railway Apprentice (SCRA)?

Sorry, now no SCRA examination is conducted.

Earlier the examination was conducted by UPSC for recruitment in Indian Railway as an officer after 12th.

But, UPSC did not conduct the examination after 2015.

So, no chance of appearing for the examination.

Requirements for SCRA examination;

Academic qualification: PCM subjects in 12th from a recognized board.

Age limit: 17-21 years for general category.

For OBC, upper age limit is 24 years and for SC/ST candidates is 26 years.

But for your kind information, SCRA is no longer conducted at national level.

Union Public Service Commission does not conduct Special Class Railway Apprentice examination. It is terminated from 2016.

Earlier, age limit was 17-21 years for general candidates. Three years upper age relaxation to OBC and five years to SC/ST candidates.

First thing I would like to let you know that SCRA refers to Special Class Railway Apprentice and it was held by UPSC once every year till 2015.

--> The minimum eligibility criteria required for appearing in SCRA examination till it was held were as here under :-

* You must be an Indian citizen with your age must lie within 17 years to 21 years. There is no provision of age relaxation for any category candidates.

* You must have completed your Class 12th PCM group with at least 45% marks from a recognized board of education.

SCRA is Special Class Railway Apprentice and now no SCRA examination is conducted which was earlier conducted by UPSC.

So, you are not eligible to appear for examination.

SCRA refers to Special Class Railway Apprentice and same examination was held by UPSC once every year till 2015 for selection of deserving candidates for providing education and training before their recruitment in Indian Railways.

As far as you are concerned about the age limit for appearing in SCRA then it is not worthy as SCRA is not held now. But, for your information I would like to let you know that in case of SCRA the age limit for all candidates ( regardless of the category they belong ) was 17 years to 21 years.
