Overview

The Rail Coach Factory (RCF) in Kapurthala has officially opened its recruitment drive for the 2026 Apprentice cycle. This initiative aims to fill 550 positions across various technical trades such as Fitter, Welder, Electrician, and Machinist. Targeted at young technical aspirants, this program provides a vital entry point into the Indian Railways ecosystem, offering practical training and skill development under the Apprentice Act.
