Frequently asked questions
Can one candidate submit forms for both graduate and undergraduate posts?
Yes. Graduate and undergraduate posts are notified under separate centralized employment notices. Eligible candidates who possess a bachelor's degree can apply for both notifications independently by submitting separate forms and paying individual fees on the regional portal of their choice.
What is the negative marking rule in the RRB NTPC CBT examinations?
Both CBT Stage 1 and Stage 2 have negative marking. One-third of the marks allotted to a question gets deducted for every wrong response. Unattempted questions carry zero penalties, so candidates should avoid random guessing during the computer-based assessments.
How does the application fee refund policy work for NTPC exams?
Candidates who actually take the Stage 1 Computer Based Test receive a partial or complete refund. General and OBC applicants get back Rs 400 out of Rs 500, while reserved categories and women receive their full Rs 250, minus standard bank processing charges.
Is Hindi or English typing mandatory for clerical posts?
Candidates appearing for typing skill tests can choose either English or Hindi. English typing requires a speed of at least 30 words per minute, whereas Hindi typing demands at least 25 words per minute on a computer keyboard without spellcheck assistance.
Can final year college students submit an application for graduate posts?
No. Candidates awaiting final degree results cannot apply. Educational qualifications must be completed with final marks sheets or provisional certificates in hand on or before the closing date of registration. Any applicant without confirmed passing credentials will be rejected during verification.
