Is RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 Result Out? Yes.

The RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 result was declared on:

24 August 2026

for candidates appearing under:

CEN 07/2025

Regional Railway Recruitment Boards have released PDFs containing the roll numbers of candidates shortlisted for CBT 2.

Candidates should check the result only through the website of the RRB they selected while applying.

Why Is It Called RRB NTPC Result 2025 If the Result Came in 2026?

This causes confusion for many candidates.

The recruitment notification is:

CEN 07/2025

because the recruitment cycle began in 2025.

However:

CBT 1 was conducted in 2026 CBT 1 result was declared on 24 August 2026 CBT 2 is tentatively scheduled for 17 September 2026

Therefore, both searches—

RRB NTPC UG Result 2025

and

RRB NTPC UG Result 2026

—may refer to the same CEN 07/2025 recruitment cycle.

The CEN number is the safest way to identify the correct recruitment.

RRB NTPC UG 2025 Vacancy Details

The official recruitment covers:

3,058 vacancies

distributed as follows:

Post Vacancies Pay Level Initial Basic Pay Commercial cum Ticket Clerk 2,424 Level 3 ₹21,700 Accounts Clerk cum Typist 394 Level 2 ₹19,900 Junior Clerk cum Typist 163 Level 2 ₹19,900 Trains Clerk 77 Level 2 ₹19,900 Total 3,058 — —

These figures are given in the CEN 07/2025 recruitment notification.

How to Check RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 Result

The result is released RRB-wise, rather than as one common nationwide merit-list PDF.

Step 1 — Open Your Regional RRB Website

Use the RRB selected during your application.

Step 2 — Find CEN 07/2025

Look for a notice similar to:

“Result of 1st Stage CBT and Shortlisting of Candidates for 2nd Stage CBT — CEN 07/2025 NTPC Undergraduate.”

Step 3 — Download the Result PDF

Open the shortlisted-candidates PDF.

Step 4 — Search Your Roll Number

On a computer:

Ctrl + F → Enter Roll Number

On a mobile:

Use the PDF application's Find/Search option.

Step 5 — Check Carefully

If your roll number appears in the PDF:

You have been provisionally shortlisted for CBT 2.

If your roll number does not appear, you have not been shortlisted for the second stage under that result list.

RRB result PDFs are being released through the respective regional Board websites.

Result PDF vs Scorecard: They Are Different

Candidates should not expect their marks to necessarily appear in the roll-number result PDF.

Document Purpose Result PDF Shows shortlisted roll numbers Cut-Off PDF Shows applicable RRB/post/category cut-offs Scorecard Shows candidate's individual marks/status CBT 2 Notice Gives next examination information

So first check your result PDF, then check the individual scorecard when the login facility becomes available.

RRB NTPC UG Scorecard 2026

The individual CBT 1 scorecard is scheduled to become available from:

26 August 2026 at 5:00 PM

Candidates should be able to access their marks through the official login facility using the required credentials.

The scorecard is important even if you have already found your roll number in the result PDF because it allows you to understand your actual CBT 1 performance.

What Details Will the Scorecard Show?

The individual login is expected to provide details such as:

candidate information; CBT 1 marks; normalized score where applicable; qualifying/shortlisting status; other result information displayed by RRB.

Candidates should save a copy once the scorecard becomes accessible.

RRB NTPC Undergraduate Cut-Off 2026

RRB NTPC cut-offs are not one common national number.

The actual cutoff can differ according to:

Railway Recruitment Board; category; post; vacancies; normalized marks; candidate performance.

This means:

“RRB NTPC UG General Cutoff is X marks”

without mentioning the RRB/post can be misleading.

Candidates should use the cut-off PDF issued by their own RRB.

Recent result updates confirm that RRB-wise/category-wise cut-offs have been released alongside the CBT 1 result.

Minimum Qualifying Marks Are NOT the Cut-Off

The CEN prescribes basic minimum qualifying percentages:

Category Minimum Qualifying Percentage UR 40% EWS 40% OBC-NCL 30% SC 30% ST 25%

A relaxation of 2 marks may apply to eligible PwBD candidates in case of shortage against reserved vacancies.

But these percentages are only minimum eligibility requirements.

For example:

An UR candidate scoring 40% has not automatically qualified for CBT 2.

The actual shortlisting cutoff can be much higher.

How Were Candidates Shortlisted for CBT 2?

This is important.

RRB states that candidates are shortlisted for CBT 2 based on their:

Normalized CBT 1 marks

and merit.

The notified shortlisting ratio is generally:

15 times the community-wise vacancies

of posts notified against the concerned RRB.

Railways reserves the right to increase or decrease this ratio where necessary.

So CBT 1 was primarily a screening stage.

Example of the 15× Shortlisting Rule

Suppose an RRB has:

100 applicable vacancies

RRB may shortlist around:

1,500 candidates

for CBT 2 under the prescribed ratio, while applying category-wise vacancy and merit rules.

That does not mean every RRB will shortlist exactly 15 candidates for every single vacancy; the detailed category/post structure and Railway's discretion also apply.

RRB NTPC UG CBT 2 Exam Date 2026

Shortlisted candidates now have one major date to remember:

17 September 2026

The Ministry of Railways recruitment calendar lists this as the tentative CBT 2 date for CEN 07/2025 NTPC Undergraduate recruitment.

The word tentative matters.

Candidates should monitor their official RRB website until a final CBT 2 examination notice, city intimation and e-call letter are issued.

Very Short Gap Between Result and CBT 2

Result:

24 August

CBT 2:

17 September

That leaves shortlisted candidates only a little over three weeks.

So candidates who have qualified should start CBT 2-specific preparation immediately rather than waiting for the scorecard or admit card.

RRB NTPC CBT 2 Exam Pattern

The second stage has:

120 Questions

for:

120 Marks

to be completed in:

90 Minutes

The official CEN gives this distribution:

Subject Questions Marks General Awareness 50 50 Mathematics 35 35 General Intelligence & Reasoning 35 35 Total 120 120

Eligible candidates using a scribe receive 120 minutes.

Negative Marking in CBT 2

For every incorrect answer:

1/3 mark is deducted

Therefore:

Correct answer: +1

Wrong answer: −⅓

Unattempted: 0.

Example: CBT 2 Score Calculation

Suppose:

Correct answers = 90 Wrong answers = 18 Unattempted = 12

Correct marks:

90 × 1 = 90

Negative marks:

18 ÷ 3 = 6

Estimated raw score:

90 − 6 = 84 marks

Accuracy matters.

CBT 1 vs CBT 2 Feature CBT 1 CBT 2 Questions 100 120 Duration 90 min 90 min General Awareness 40 50 Mathematics 30 35 Reasoning 30 35 Negative Marking 1/3 1/3 Main Purpose Screening Further merit/selection

CBT 2 gives you 20 more questions without additional time, making speed significantly more important.

General Awareness Is the Most Important Section

CBT 2 contains:

50 General Awareness questions

which represents more than 40% of the paper.

Candidates should revise:

Current Affairs Indian History Freedom Struggle Geography Indian Polity Constitution Economy General Science Life Science Science & Technology Sports Art & Culture Environment Computer Basics Government Schemes Important Government/PSU organisations.

These areas are part of the notified NTPC syllabus.

Mathematics Topics for CBT 2

Important areas include:

Number System Decimals and Fractions LCM/HCF Ratio & Proportion Percentage Average Profit & Loss Simple Interest Compound Interest Time & Work Time & Distance Mensuration Algebra Geometry Trigonometry Elementary Statistics. Reasoning Topics

Candidates should prepare:

Analogy Number/Alphabet Series Coding-Decoding Mathematical Operations Classification Relationships Analytical Reasoning Syllogism Venn Diagram Puzzles Data Sufficiency Statement–Conclusion Course of Action Decision Making Maps Graph Interpretation. When Will CBT 2 City Intimation Be Released?

RRB's examination procedure for CEN 07/2025 provides that the:

Exam City & Date link

is generally activated around:

10 days before the examination

while:

E-Call Letter

downloads generally begin:

4 days before the examination date shown in the city intimation.

If CBT 2 remains on 17 September, this would roughly point to:

City/date information: around 7 September E-call letter: around 13 September

These dates are working estimates based on the official 10-day/4-day rule, not separately confirmed release dates.

Aadhaar Authentication at CBT 2

RRB has used Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication for candidates at examination centres.

Candidates have been instructed to carry either:

original Aadhaar Card; or printout of e-verified Aadhaar,

as specified in the exam instructions.

Follow the final CBT 2 e-call letter for the exact document requirements.

What Happens After CBT 2?

The next stage depends on the post.

Commercial cum Ticket Clerk

CBT 2 → Document Verification → Medical Examination

Trains Clerk

CBT 2 → Document Verification → Medical Examination

Accounts Clerk cum Typist

CBT 2 → Computer Based Typing Skill Test → Document Verification → Medical Examination

Junior Clerk cum Typist

CBT 2 → Computer Based Typing Skill Test → Document Verification → Medical Examination.

Typing Skill Test Requirements

For:

Accounts Clerk cum Typist; Junior Clerk cum Typist,

the Computer Based Typing Skill Test is qualifying in nature.

Required speed:

English 30 words per minute

or
