There is no single Railway age limit. The base age differs from notice to notice. Central Government relaxations usually give OBC-NCL +3 years and SC/ST +5 years, with separate relaxation for PwBD, ex-servicemen and some Railway employees. The age shown on each course page is only the figure in the latest notice we checked.
