RRB Sets NTPC UG CBT-1 Dates for May–June 2026

Mandatory Aadhaar checks signal a tighter, fraud-resistant exam process.

Overview

  • The Railway Recruitment Board, which posted the notice Tuesday, opened the first-stage test for 3,058 Non-Technical Popular Categories undergraduate posts.
  • CBT-1 will run on May 7–9 and June 13–14 and 16–21 across multiple shifts at centres nationwide.
  • CBT-1 is a 100‑question, 90‑minute screen with one‑third negative marking that feeds into CBT‑2 and later skill, document, and medical checks.
  • Aadhaar-based biometric verification will be done at entry, so candidates must bring original or e‑Aadhaar as RRB warns against fake job offers.
  • City slips will post about 10 days before each test date and admit cards will go online three to four days prior on regional RRB portals.
