The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) is preparing to announce the exam dates for the second stage Computer Based Test (CBT 2) of the Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) recruitment. This update is specifically for undergraduate posts . Students who successfully cleared the first CBT are now eagerly waiting for these crucial dates. This major recruitment drive aims to fill a total of 11,558 job vacancies across various departments in the Indian Railways. An impressive number of over 1.21 crore candidates have applied, making it a highly competitive selection process.
The RRB NTPC exam is a significant opportunity for young individuals to secure a government job with the Indian Railways. These non-technical popular categories include positions like Junior Clerk cum Typist, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Time Keeper, Trains Clerk, Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, and more. The selection process for RRB NTPC 2025 is divided into two main Computer Based Tests (CBT 1 and CBT 2). After these tests, candidates might also need to pass skill tests, such as a typing test, and attend document verification, depending on the specific post they applied for.
The results for the first stage, RRB NTPC CBT 1 for undergraduate posts, were announced earlier. At that time, the official notices mentioned that the dates for the CBT 2 examination would be declared very soon. Therefore, all candidates who qualified for CBT 2 are strongly advised to regularly visit their respective regional RRB official websites for the most current information and announcements.
Important Information Expected Soon
Candidates should be ready for a series of announcements from the Railway Recruitment Board. Along with the detailed exam schedule for CBT 2, other key details will also be released. These important updates will include:
- The exact exam dates for the second stage test, including dates for different examination shifts.
- Specific shift timings for each part of the exam.
- The exam city intimation slip , which will inform candidates about the city where their examination centre will be located. This helps students plan their travel.
- The official Admit Card (also known as the hall ticket), which is a mandatory document to be carried to the examination hall.
Based on past exam patterns, the exam city intimation slip is typically made available about 10 days before the actual exam date. This gives students enough time to make necessary travel arrangements. The final RRB NTPC admit card for the undergraduate CBT 2 exam will then be issued approximately 4 days before the scheduled test. It is essential for all candidates to download and print both these documents well in advance.
