Understanding Normalisation in RRB NTPC Exams
Yes, normalization is applied. Because the NTPC UG CBT 1 was administered over multiple shifts between May and June 2026, the difficulty levels varied. To ensure fairness, the RRB normalizes raw scores, and these adjusted figures are used to determine merit and cut-offs for the next stage.
Overview of the RRB NTPC Selection Process
Stage 1: CBT 1: Candidates are shortlisted in a 1:20 ratio relative to category vacancies.
Stage 2: CBT 2: This critical stage determines the final merit list standing.
Stage 3: CBAT / Typing Skill Test: Required for specific roles, such as Station Master (CBAT) or Clerk (Typing Test).
Stage 4: Document Verification & Medical Examination: The final prerequisite for appointment, based on the CBT 2 merit ranking.
CBT 2 Examination Pattern
The NTPC UG CBT 2 features 120 objective-type questions (1 mark each). Candidates should note there is a penalty of 1/3rd mark for every incorrect response.
| Sections | No. of Questions | Total Marks | Duration |
| Mathematics | 35 | 35 | 90 minutes |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 35 | 35 | |
| General Awareness | 50 | 50 | |
| Total | 120 | 120 |
