New Delhi The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) are anticipated to release the schedule for the Computer Based Test 1 (CBT 1) exam for the Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) Undergraduate (UG) recruitment 2025 in the coming days. Candidates who are preparing for the RRB NTPC UG exam may visit the official website, rrb.gov.in, to stay informed about the schedule, admissions card, and other crucial details. One of the most popular competitive tests in India is the RRB NTPC recruitment exam, which is used to choose candidates for a variety of non-technical positions with the Indian Railways. 

The CBT 1 stage test dates are currently being finalized and will be revealed shortly, according to preliminary data from RRB officials. Millions of candidates nationwide will be able to see the test dates for each city and place when the official schedule is published. A few days before the exam, the entrance cards will be accessible on the relevant RRB regional websites. 

The goal of the RRB NTPC UG 2025 recruitment campaign is to fill a large number of openings for positions such as Junior Time Keeper, Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Train Clerk, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, and Junior Clerk cum Typist. The Railway Recruitment Board establishes the age and qualification criteria that applicants for these positions must satisfy in addition to having finished their Class 12 education. Because there are so many candidates and the test must be administered uniformly across all sites, it will be conducted in a number of stages. 

The selection procedure will begin with CBT 1, which will include questions covering topics such as mathematics, general intelligence and reasoning, and general knowledge, with several options for each question. The exam will be 90 minutes in length and worth 100 marks. Candidates who pass the CBT 1, which includes the medical exam, document verification, and aptitude or typing test, will move on to the CBT 2 round. Every wrong answer will result in a negative score of 0.25. 

To stay abreast of local news and information, candidates should routinely check the official websites of each RRB zone. Candidates can download their admission cards by inputting their registration number and date of birth after they have been issued. Important information regarding the exam’s date, time, and location, as well as the regulations to be followed on the day of the exam, will be included on the hall ticket. 

Additionally, the RRB has established rules to guarantee that the exam is given in a fair and efficient manner. Candidates must bring a printed copy of their admission card and a valid picture ID card in order to be allowed entry into the testing facility. The use of calculators, smartwatches, or other electronic devices for cheating is strictly forbidden. To prevent impersonation or misbehavior, the test administrators have stressed the use of biometric attendance and close supervision. 

As more and more individuals seek employment with the Indian Railways, which offers steady, well-paying government positions, this year’s NTPC UG test is expected to have a record number of candidates. Since the competition is expected to be fierce, candidates are advised to begin their last round of preparation with timed practice, practice exams, and prior year’s papers. 

Additionally, candidates should be aware of the qualifying grades and cut-offs, which vary by cohort. The minimum qualifying score for candidates in the General category is 40%, while the minimum qualifying score for candidates in the OBC and SC categories is 30%, and the minimum qualifying score for candidates in the ST category is 25%. These, though, are the bare minimum standards, and the ultimate choice will be made based on the final merit list and score normalization after all testing procedures. 

The RRB NTPC UG 2025 is one of the initiatives in Indian Railways’ larger recruitment drive to improve the caliber of its workforce and fill available vacancies in administrative and operational roles. In addition, this recruiting cycle aligns with the government’s primary objective of improving the transparency and efficiency of public sector jobs by utilizing digitized testing methods. 

The RRB administration has committed to publishing the exam schedule shortly, as candidates from throughout India are waiting for the release of their admit cards and the announcement of the CBT 1 dates. Potential candidates should stay calm, refrain from spreading false information, and only use approved RRB means of communication. The next few weeks will be critical since the assessment is about to start its first phase, which will signal the start of the selection process for the thousands of young applicants hoping to work for Indian Railways.
