A Strategic Guide to the Multi-Stage Selection Process
The journey to becoming a Railway NTPC employee has several stages. Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead:
Stage 1: CBT-1 (The Screening Test)
This is the exam you're about to take. It's a screening test designed to filter candidates for the next round. The marks from CBT-1 will not be counted in your final merit list. Your only goal here is to score high enough to clear the cut-off.
Stage 2: CBT-2 (The Merit Decider)
If you clear CBT-1, you'll be called for CBT-2. This is the main event. The final merit list will be created based on the marks you score in CBT-2. This exam is tougher and has a greater focus on General Awareness.
Stage 3: Typing Skill Test (TST)
This test is only for the posts of Junior Clerk cum Typist and Accounts Clerk cum Typist. It is qualifying in nature, which means you just need to pass it. Your typing speed, not your score, is what matters here.
What Do These NTPC Under Graduate Roles Involve?
💡 Different Roles, Different Responsibilities
- Commercial cum Ticket Clerk (Level 3): This is a frontline job at railway stations where you'll be issuing tickets, booking luggage, and helping passengers.
