Dear student,

Union Public Service Commission conducts the Special Class Railway Apprentices’ Examination (SCRA) to select candidates for the Mechanical Department of Indian Railways. According to the age criteria for SCRA examination as given by UPSC is that the candidate must have attained the age of 17 years and must not have attained the age of 21 years as on 1st January 2019 i.e he/she must have been born not earlier than 02-01-1994 and not later than 01-01-1998. 

However UPSC has stopped conducting the SCRA examination since after 2015. So you cannot appear for SCRA.
