As the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) prepares to publish the results of the NTPC (Non-Technical Popular Categories) Graduate-Level CBT-1 exam, candidates from all throughout the country are feeling both expectation and anxiety. Starting on June 5 and ending on June 24, 2025, this test set off a multistep recruiting process for a few of the most sought-after posts at Indian Railways. 

Prospective applicants have been watching local RRB websites and news outlets for weeks in expectation of this chance. Official regional sites—which will have PDFs of the results available—’s main link is rrbcdg.gov.in. These records comprise the roll numbers of every candidate who completed CBT-2 and is qualified for the following round. Candidates must use their username and password, as provided during registration, to check their own scorecard. 

With the NTPC Graduate recruiting drive this year, more than 8,000 unfilled roles in several industries should be filled. The pay for Station Masters and Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisors ranges from Rs 35,400 per month, which is great. Financial stability, respect, and government service security are all provided by these jobs. Around Rs 29,200 is the pay for other graduate positions like as Junior Account Assistant cum Typist and Goods Train Manager. These include Senior Clerk cum Typist, Goods Train Manager, Junior Account Assistant cum Typist, Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor, and Station Master. 

The stakes for candidates are considerable. Candidates were evaluated one-third of a point for each incorrect answer on the CBT-1 test, which comprised 1,000 multiple-choice questions each valued one point. Because the test was given over several shifts, the RRB will use a normalization approach to ensure equity. Considering the relative difficulty of each shift, this method normalizes results and produces a standardized score denoting a candidate’s ranking on the merit list.

Cut-off scores are the foundation of shortlist application. Each RRB zone’s recruiting pool is handled separately; these vary by category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) as well as by area. Though the actual figures will be revealed once the results are available, it is projected that the majority of regions will have a General category cutoff ranging from 70 to 75 points. Still, the variety of ability levels and competitive intensity means that these results could vary significantly across different areas. 

The CBT-2 phase will follow the outcome declarations in the hiring process. More comprehensive, the second computer-based test will more closely evaluate candidates’ topic knowledge and problem-solving abilities. Depending on the job for which they applied, candidates who pass CBT-2 might subsequently take either a Computer-Based Aptitude Test or a Typing Skills Test. The last phases comprise a medical check and document verification to guarantee that only the best and most physically fit candidates are employed. 

The CBT-1 results will be more than simply a list of names; they will be a turning point for thousands of candidates. It will denote for others the following stage in a respected and stable rail career. For others, it may bring the letdown of missing expectations, but it also offers an opportunity to rethink and prepare for future projects. 

Over the previous few weeks on social media and online forums, there has been much debate about expected cutoffs, level of challenge, and means of preparation. Many applicants have discussed their test-taking experiences, differentiating the kinds of questions and stressing the topics they most struggled with. Because of this shared expectancy, the excitement has only grown in the last several hours running up to the unveiling. 

As the RRB readies to publish the results, India’s railway job-seeking people are feeling both hope and worry. In hotels and homes, candidates will be checking their roll numbers on computers and phones in cities and rural regions. For individuals who are successful, this starts a more intense phase of CBT-2 preparation; for those who are not, it provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and plan their following move.

Not only a numerical score, the result of the RRB NTPC Graduate-Level exam mirrors months of intense labor, personal sacrifice, and unrelenting commitment. All in anticipation of the upcoming results, some will experience joy, others will learn useful information, and everyone will see a major step forward in their career development trajectory during the hours ahead.
