Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. How do I check if I am shortlisted for RRB NTPC CBT 2?
Ans. You can find out if you made the cut by downloading the zone-wise merit list PDF directly from your regional RRB portal. Just open the file and search for your registration number. If it’s there, you are provisionally selected for CBT 2, which is expected to take place in the second week of July 2026.
Q2. What is the difference between the merit list PDF and the individual scorecard?
Ans. The merit list is simply a public PDF showing the roll numbers of all shortlisted candidates for a specific zone, sorted numerically. Your scorecard is private and requires logging into rrb.digialm.com (starting June 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM) to see your specific marks, section-wise breakdown, and exact qualifying status.
Q3. I did not appear in CBT 1 due to illness. Can I request to sit for the exam again?
Ans. Unfortunately, no. The testing window closed on March 27, 2026, and the Railway Recruitment Board does not offer re-exams for candidates who missed their slot. You will need to wait for the next NTPC recruitment cycle to apply again.
Q4. What is the next stage after clearing RRB NTPC CBT 2?
Ans. Once you pass CBT 2, your next step depends on the post you applied for. You’ll face either a Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) or a Computer-Based Skill Test (CBTST). After clearing that hurdle, you’ll proceed to document verification and a final medical examination.
Q5. I have qualified for CBT 2, but I did not receive an admit card email. What should I do?
Ans. Don’t worry if you haven’t seen an email yet. The RRB issues admit cards exactly four days before the exam date. Keep an eye on your inbox and SMS, but if it doesn’t arrive by then, you can simply download your e-call letter directly from your regional RRB website.
Q6. When is the next RRB NTPC recruitment after this cycle?
Ans. The RRB usually runs an NTPC recruitment drive every two to three years. If you didn’t qualify this time around, you can realistically expect the next major notification to drop sometime between 2028 and 2029.
Q7. I scored just below the cut-off mark. Can I request a review or re-evaluation?
Ans. No, the RRB does not entertain requests for re-evaluation if you fall short of the cut-off marks. The results are final. However, you can review your scorecard and response sheet to see exactly where you lost points, which can help you prepare for the next cycle.
Q8. How do I prepare for RRB NTPC CBT 2 after clearing CBT 1?
Ans. CBT 2 tests the exact same subjects – General Awareness, Mathematics, General Intelligence, and Reasoning – but the questions are significantly harder. You have about four weeks until the tentative July exam date, so prioritize taking mock tests, improving your speed, and addressing your weakest topics.
What to Do Next
Check your RRB NTPC CBT 1 Result 2026 immediately using your registration number in the zone-wise merit list PDF available on your regional RRB website, and note the CBT 2 exam date (tentatively second week of July 2026).
