RRB NTPC Graduate Selection Process
CBT-1 (First Computer Based Test)- This is only qualifying and does not contribute to merit. It will contain a total of 100 questions and will be held for 90 minutes. Mathematics comprises 30 marks, General Intelligence and Reasoning also 30 marks and General Knowledge/Current Affairs will contain 40 marks. A negative marking of one-third or 0.33 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Approximately 15 times the number of candidates who clear CBT-1 will proceed to the next stage. The CBT-2 (Main Exam) is the most crucial stage. In RRB NTPC Graduate Level, merit is determined through the CBT-2 exam. It features 120 questions, and is held for a duration of 90 minutes. This exam too contains a negative marking of one-third of the marks. The CBT-2 marks determine the post you are likely to get (example, the cut-off for Station Master is the highest).
Following this two, a skill test or Computer Based Aptitude Test will be held as per post. This will be followed by Document Verification (DV). The final merit is made using both CBT-2 and CBAT (if applicable) scores. Marks of CBT-1 and typing test are not added.
