RRB NTPC: zonal sites and the CBT stages, explained
Railway Recruitment Board NTPC recruitment is announced through a centralised notification, after which each zonal RRB publishes region-specific details and the application link on its own official website. The single most important thing to get right is which site to follow: because recruitment is zone-wise, your official source is the RRB website for the region you are applying from — the central RRB portal links out to all of them.
How the stages work
The selection runs in stages. CBT 1 is a screening test; CBT 2 is the merit-deciding stage with a deeper syllabus; relevant posts (like Typist or Station Master roles) then have a skill or typing test, followed by document verification and a medical exam. Scores are normalised across shifts, so your raw mark and your normalised mark can differ.
Download admit cards only from your zone's official site
City-intimation slips and admit cards are released on your zone's official RRB site a few days before each slot — download yours only from there, never from a forwarded link.
NTPC CBT 1 rewards consistent practice on Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning and General Awareness. Look at the RRB NTPC syllabus, check what the posts pay on the salary page, and take a free RRB NTPC mock test built from real previous-year questions to calibrate your speed before the exam.
