RRB NTPC Graduate 2026 – Selection Process
Selection runs through two computer-based tests, followed by document verification and a medical examination:
- 1st Stage CBT: a 100-question screening test with minimum qualifying marks.
- 2nd Stage CBT: open to candidates shortlisted from the 1st Stage, at 15 times the community-wise vacancies, ranked by 1st Stage CBT score.
- Document Verification
- Medical Examination
Clearing the 1st Stage cut-off alone does not guarantee a 2nd Stage call, since shortlisting is limited to the 15x ratio. The source summary lists no separate skill or typing test; confirm this in the notification for the two typist posts.
