The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has released the results for the second stage Computer-Based Test (CBT 2) for graduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) posts. Results are available for 21 regions. Candidates who passed CBT 2 are now eligible for the next selection stages: the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) or the Computer-Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST). These tests are scheduled for the **fifth week of December**.
The RRB NTPC CBT 2 exam was conducted on **October 13**. This test is a crucial step for recruitment to various non-technical railway positions across India. The list of qualified candidates, including their roll numbers, is published in PDF format on the official regional RRB websites. The cut-off scores for CBT 2 have also been released alongside the results.
Key Exam Stages and Next Steps
Candidates moving forward will undergo further assessments. The Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) assesses cognitive skills for specific roles. The Computer-Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST) evaluates typing proficiency for positions requiring data entry and clerical work. Both tests will occur in late **December 2024**.
In addition to results and cut-offs, RRB has also made the CBT 2 question paper available. Candidates can view the questions along with the marked correct answers. This allows for transparency and helps candidates understand their performance.
