RRB NTPC admit card 2026: exam schedule and pattern
CBT-1 will have 100 objective-type questions to be answered in 90 minutes . The paper covers General Awareness, Mathematics, and General Intelligence & Reasoning. There is negative marking: one-third of the marks for a question will be deducted for each wrong answer.
The test will run in multiple phases across several dates to manage large candidate numbers. Exact shift timings and reporting instructions will be printed on the admit card and the earlier city intimation slip.
Entry rules, ID and Aadhaar biometric authentication
Aadhaar linked biometric authentication will be done at the exam centre before entry into the exam hall. Candidates must carry the printed admit card and a valid ID proof. The RRB specifically requires the original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar; without these, entry may be denied.
Candidates who clear CBT-1 will move to CBT-2, followed by skill tests where applicable, document verification and medical examination as part of the selection process.
