Understanding the CBAT and TST Exams
The Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) and Typing Skill Test (TST) are crucial stages in the selection process for certain graduate-level posts in the Indian Railways. These tests are designed to check if candidates have the specific skills required for their chosen job roles.
CBAT Details for Traffic Assistant and Station Master
The CBAT is specifically for candidates who have applied for posts such as Traffic Assistant and Station Master . Here are some key points about this test:
- Candidates need to score a minimum T-score of 42 marks to qualify in the CBAT.
- The test consists of different sections, often called 'test batteries'. Each battery might have five to six smaller tests, each designed to evaluate a specific aptitude.
- There will be no negative marking in the RRB NTPC graduate level CBAT. This means you will not lose marks for incorrect answers.
Score Weightage for Final Selection
For the final selection of candidates and before the document verification stage, marks from different tests are combined. Candidates must achieve specific score weightage to be considered:
- 70% of the final marks will come from the candidate's performance in the Computer Based Test Stage 2 (CBT 2).
- 30% of the final marks will come from the candidate's performance in the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT).
Only those candidates who successfully meet these combined score requirements will be invited for the final document verification process.
