Selection Process for RRB NTPC Undergraduate 2026
The recruitment process involves multiple stages to select the best candidates. A significant change in CEN 07/2026 is that the Computer Based Typing Skill Test has been dispensed with.
- First Stage CBT (CBT-1): A screening test comprising 100 questions (100 Marks, 90 Minutes). Subjects include General Awareness (40 Qs), Mathematics (30 Qs), and General Intelligence & Reasoning (30 Qs).
- Second Stage CBT (CBT-2): Shortlisted candidates from CBT-1 will appear for CBT-2, comprising 120 questions (120 Marks, 90 Minutes). Subjects include General Awareness (50 Qs), Mathematics (35 Qs), and General Intelligence & Reasoning (35 Qs).
- Negative Marking: In both CBT-1 and CBT-2, 1/3rd of a mark will be deducted for every incorrect answer.
- Document Verification (DV): Checking of original educational and identity certificates.
- Medical Examination: Candidates must clear specific medical standards (B-2, C-2, or A-3 depending on the post preference). Note: Candidates with LASIK surgery are generally not eligible for A-3 medical standard posts.
