Always confirm the fee, if any, in the official NFR notice before applying.

NFR की ऑफलाइन रोजगार सूचना सं. 03/2026 में कोई आवेदन शुल्क मुद्रित नहीं है, अतः इस सूचना हेतु शुल्क का उल्लेख नहीं है। (तुलना हेतु, अन्य ज़ोन की ऑनलाइन RRC स्काउट्स/गाइड्स भर्तियों में सामान्य के लिए रु. 500 तथा SC/ST/भूतपूर्व सैनिक/PwBD/महिला/अल्पसंख्यक के लिए रु. 250 लिया जाता है, जो बड़े हिस्से में वापसी योग्य है।) आवेदन से पूर्व शुल्क की पुष्टि आधिकारिक सूचना में करें।

Q: How are candidates selected - is there a written exam?

There is no interview. Confirm the written-test schedule on the NFR website.

मानक रेलवे स्काउट्स एवं गाइड्स प्रक्रिया में चयन 100 अंकों में होता है: 60 अंकों की लिखित परीक्षा (40 वस्तुनिष्ठ प्रश्न + 1 निबंध, 1/3 नकारात्मक अंकन) तथा 40 अंकों का स्काउटिंग प्रमाणपत्र मूल्यांकन, इसके बाद दस्तावेज़ सत्यापन एवं चिकित्सा परीक्षण। कोई साक्षात्कार नहीं होता। लिखित परीक्षा तिथि की पुष्टि NFR वेबसाइट पर करें।

Q: Can I apply for both Level-2 and Level-1?

Yes, if you meet the eligibility for both. Selection for the two levels is conducted separately, so you must submit a separate complete application (with all annexures) for each level.

हाँ, यदि आप दोनों की पात्रता पूरी करते हैं। दोनों लेवल का चयन अलग-अलग होता है, अतः प्रत्येक लेवल के लिए सभी संलग्नकों सहित अलग-अलग पूर्ण आवेदन देना होगा।
