Selection Process
The selection process for RRB NTPC 2025 will be carried out in multiple stages to ensure a fair and thorough assessment of candidates. It begins with a computer-based test known as CBT-1, which serves as a preliminary screening. This test comprises 100 questions spread across three subjects: General Awareness (40 questions), Mathematics (30 questions), and General Intelligence and Reasoning (30 questions). Candidates will have 90 minutes to complete the test.
Those who qualify in CBT-1 will move on to CBT-2, which is tailored to the specific post applied for. CBT-2 includes 120 questions, with 50 from General Awareness, 35 from Mathematics, and 35 from General Intelligence and Reasoning. Like the first stage, this test also has a duration of 90 minutes. It is important to note that both CBTs carry a penalty of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer, so candidates should answer carefully.
Depending on the post, candidates may also be required to take skill-based assessments such as typing or aptitude tests. After these stages, shortlisted applicants will be called for document verification to confirm their eligibility. The final step involves a medical examination to ensure candidates meet the required health standards for railway service.
