In a separate development, the RRB will conduct the NTPC UG CBT-2 exam on December 20, 2024 .

Admit cards for the December 20 CBT-2 will be made available for download five days before the exam date. Candidates appearing for this exam must monitor official RRB portals for their admit cards.
Selection Process and Post-Exam Stages
The selection process for the RRB NTPC UG 2025 posts involves several stages designed to identify suitable candidates. After successful completion of the Computer-Based Tests, shortlisted individuals will proceed to the next phases. If CBTs are held in multiple shifts, marks will undergo a normalization process to ensure fair evaluation across all candidates.
Key post-CBT stages include Document Verification (DV) and a Medical Examination. For these stages, candidates will be shortlisted in a 1:1 ratio against the notified vacancies. This ensures that the number of candidates called for verification matches the number of available positions.
Candidates selected for Document Verification will receive E-call letters. These will be accessible through official RRB websites. Additionally, personalized notifications will be sent via SMS and email to the registered mobile numbers and email IDs provided during the application process. These communications will inform candidates about the schedules and requirements for their DV and medical examinations.
All applicants are advised to regularly check the official Railway Recruitment Board websites for the latest updates and announcements regarding this recruitment drive.
