Hi
Yes you have to apply online first for attempting the RT exam .
You will need a to take a DD ( 500 Rs/- )and that too from SBI only
Also you need the character certificate from a gazetted officer .
I suggest you make 3 or 4 copies of the same form from the gazetted officer as you will be needing it for future exams in case you dont pass the first time
All photocopies they ask for need to be attested by a gazetted officer
You will need digital scanned copies of the same before you apply online
Once you apply online you will get an application ID
With the printout of the application ID and a bunch of other documents you will have to send it the regional office where the exam is taking place.
For eg if the exam is in chenai you will have to send it to chennai office
The current attempt for chennai is going on .
The schedule for 2011 is given here including last dates for application

You will have to keep checking their website everyday as to when they start taking applications for the August attempt which takes place in Kolkota .
A word of warning
You will have to apply for the october attempt in Delhi long before the results of the august attempt are published
. Some people forget to do so and when they find out they havent passed its already too late to apply for the next attempt.
Since you stay in Delhi i suggest you take coaching classes from Mr. MK Singh . Its a 5 day course form 8am to 5 pm ( very tiring to listen to the same person for so long )
He has all the new question paper including the latest charts and will give you all the study material you need .
If you listen to what he says and and study what he tells you to study you should be able to pass without much problems . It requires a lot of hard work.
I suggest you give RTR(A) by giving both exams part 1 and part 2 . That way you can get a an RT license with lifetime validity and never have to worry about dealing with the WPC ever again .
MK Singh does give coaching for part 2 as well . But its pretty much a self study course. It inlcudes all the basic physics you learnt in 10+2 as well as everything you learnt in aviation so far i.e you theoretical knowledge for pilot exams
Another note of caution
MK Singh is one of the best trainers available in India for RT ( He 'll tell you that himself )
He is quite rude to his students . So you can expect to be insulted in front of the whole class. There are quite a few students who cannot handle it and leave in between the 5 days of coaching .
My suggestion: Just be humble and be polite and respectful whenever you talk to him irrespective of what he says to you .
Oh yes learn the definition of Altitude ( he will surely ask you )
He will tell you to call him the day before the exam so that he can give you a few questions that will be asked . DONT
He will insult you when you call him and abuse you for trying to get the questions from him instead of studying for it by yourself
Go by his instructions and you should be able to crack the exam . I have heard that the kolkota attempt is usually the easiest where they pass most of the students ( chennai is the hardest )
When you go for the exam go in formals just like you would for a job interview . Wish the, examiner good morning or good afternoon as the case may be .
Be polite , respectful and dont show any attitude towards them . They might ask you weird questions ( for part 2 )
If you encounter a question that you dont know tell them that you do not know the answer politely.
Good Luck
