Frequently Asked Questions / मुख्य सवाल

Q1. Is RRB NTPC one exam or two separate exams?

Two separate but closely related notifications running in parallel: CEN 06/2025 for Graduate posts (5,810 vacancies) and CEN 07/2025 for Undergraduate/12th-level posts (3,058 vacancies), together totalling 8,868 posts.

Q2. Which RRB NTPC stream has progressed further as of August 2026?

The Graduate stream (CEN 06/2025). It has already completed CBT 1, CBT 2 (10 July 2026) and the CBT 2 answer key/objection stage, with its result expected in the second week of August 2026. The Undergraduate stream is roughly two months behind.

Q3. What is the minimum qualification for RRB NTPC?

A Bachelor's degree for Graduate-level posts (CEN 06/2025), or a Class 12 (10+2) pass for Undergraduate-level posts (CEN 07/2025). Specific typist posts additionally require demonstrated computer typing proficiency.

Q4. Do CBT 1 marks count toward the final RRB NTPC merit?

No. CBT 1 is purely a screening stage used only to shortlist candidates for CBT 2. Final merit is based entirely on the (normalised) CBT 2 score, combined with CBAT marks for Station Master and Traffic Assistant posts.
