How to Read the SECR Nagpur Apprentice Empanelment List 2026-27?
Each list gives a serial number, category, gender, the merit figure and a Selected As slot such as UR, OBC, SC, ST or EWS. Many reserved-category candidates fill unreserved slots on merit. PwBD and ex-serviceman status appears only in the Remark column of the Nagpur Division list.
In several trades the panel is smaller than the slots, mostly in EWS and some SC, ST and OBC slots. Painter at Nagpur Division has 11 empanelled against 44 slots, and Mechanic Machine Tool Maintenance has 13 against 23. The lists do not say why. The Motibagh list prints no instructions of its own, so watch the SECR website for joining details.

- No Travelling Allowance / Daily Allowance is paid for document verification.

What is the Selection Process for RRC SECR Nagpur Apprentice 2026?
The selection is fully merit-based — there is no written exam, no interview. Final merit is decided as follows:

- Document verification of all original testimonials
- Medical fitness examination by a Government-authorised Gazetted Doctor (not below the rank of Assistant Surgeon of a Central or State Hospital)
