RRB NTPC Exam Pattern 2026 — CBT-1

Mathematics Syllabus (CBT-1 aur CBT-2)

Maths me speed ke saath accuracy sabse zyada matter karti hai. Topics ye hain:

  • Number System, Decimals, Fractions, LCM aur HCF
  • Ratio and Proportion, Percentage
  • Mensuration (kshetrafal, aayatan wale questions)
  • Time and Work, Time and Distance
  • Simple Interest aur Compound Interest
  • Profit and Loss
  • Elementary Algebra, Geometry aur Trigonometry
  • Elementary Statistics

Tip: percentage, ratio aur time-work-distance jaise topics se har saal pakke questions aate hain — in par pehle command banao, phir mensuration aur trigonometry par jao.

General Intelligence and Reasoning Syllabus

  • Analogies, Number aur Alphabet Series
  • Coding-Decoding, Mathematical Operations
  • Similarities and Differences, Relationships
  • Analytical Reasoning, Syllogism, Jumbling
  • Venn Diagrams, Puzzles
  • Data Sufficiency, Statement-Conclusion, Statement-Courses of Action
  • Decision Making, Maps, Interpretation of Graphs

Reasoning me practice hi sab kuch hai. Roz 20-30 questions ki timed practice karo — series aur coding-decoding me speed banne ke baad ye section sabse scoring ban jata hai.

General Awareness Syllabus

GA sabse bada section hai — CBT-1 me 40 aur CBT-2 me 50 questions. Isliye GA ko halke me mat lo.

  • Current events of national and international importance
  • Games and Sports, Art and Culture of India, Indian Literature
  • Monuments and Places of India
  • General Science aur Life Science (CBSE Class 10 level tak)
  • History of India aur Freedom Struggle
  • Geography of India and the World
  • Indian Polity and Governance — Constitution aur political system
  • Science and Technology, including India ke Space aur Nuclear programmes
  • UN aur important world organisations
  • Environmental Issues, Basics of Computers aur Computer Applications
  • Common Abbreviations, Transport Systems in India
  • Indian Economy, Famous Personalities, Flagship Government Programmes
  • Flora and Fauna of India, important Government aur PSU organisations

Current affairs ke liye pichhle 6-8 mahine ke events par zyada focus rakho, aur static GK (history, polity, geography) ko NCERT level se pakka karo.

Minimum Qualifying Marks

CategoryMinimum Qualifying Marks
UR40%
EWS40%
OBC-NCL30%
SC30%
ST25%

Note: ye sirf minimum qualifying marks hain — selection ke liye actual cut-off isse kaafi upar jata hai. PwBD candidates ke liye reserved vacancies ke against kami hone par notification me prescribed 2 marks tak ki relaxation ka provision hai. Age limit ki jaanch ke liye Age Eligibility Checker use kar sakte ho, aur selection ke baad salary ka estimate dekhne ke liye 7th CPC Salary Calculator kaam aayega.

Selection Process — CBT ke baad kya hota hai?

  1. CBT-1: screening test, qualify karna zaroori.
  2. CBT-2: post-specific merit stage.
  3. Document Verification (DV): certificates aur eligibility ki jaanch.
  4. Medical Examination: post ke prescribed medical standard ke hisaab se fitness check.

Post-specific variation — dhyan se padho: CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) har post ke liye nahi hota — ye sirf Station Master / Traffic Assistant jaise posts ke liye hota hai, aur CEN 06/2026 me aise posts notify nahi hue hain, isliye is cycle me CBAT applicable nahi hai. Isi tarah, Senior Clerk cum Typist aur Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist posts ke liye Typing Skill Test ko CEN 06/2026 aur CEN 07/2026 dono me dispense kar diya gaya hai. Apne post ke liye exact stages hamesha apne CEN notification se confirm karo — kisi bhi source par ye mat maan lo ki har post par CBAT ya typing test lagega.

Subject-wise Weightage aur Time Management

CBT-1 ke 90 minute me 100 questions ka matlab hai har question par average 54 second se bhi kam. GA sabse bada section hai (40 questions), isliye GA par sabse zyada time lagana samajhdari hai, lekin Maths aur Reasoning me accuracy se hi score banta hai. Ek practical split: GA ke liye 25 minute, Maths ke liye 30 minute aur Reasoning ke liye 30 minute, aakhri 5 minute review ke liye. CBT-2 me 120 questions ke liye bhi yahi ratio kaam aata hai — GA 35 minute, Maths 30 minute, Reasoning 25 minute. Mock test me isi split ki practice karo taaki exam hall me time dekhkar ghabrahat na ho.

Preparation Tips — kaise padhein?

  • Maths: roz 1 ghanta calculation practice — percentage, ratio, SI/CI ke short tricks seekho.
  • Reasoning: pehle concept, phir timed sets — puzzle aur syllogism par alag se time do.
  • GA: roz current affairs + hafte me ek baar static GK revision — notes khud ke haath se banao.
  • Mock test: hafte me kam se kam 2 full mock, 90 minute ke timer par, aur har mock ka analysis zaroor karo.
  • Negative marking se bacho: jisme 50% se kam confidence ho, use skip karna aksar sahi rehta hai — andaze par tick karna score kha jata hai.
  • Previous year papers: pichhle NTPC papers se topic-wise weightage samjho, phir weak topics par wapas jao.

Aage Kya Hoga

  • Abhi: CBT-1 aur CBT-2 syllabus ke hisaab se preparation chal rahi hai — Graduate apply window 8 October se 6 November 2026 aur UG window 15 October se 13 November 2026 (CEN ke hisaab se).
  • Agla step (expected): exam date official notice se announce hogi — abhi koi CBT date officially announce nahi hui hai.
  • Uske baad (expected): admit card / city intimation slip exam se kuch din pehle release hogi.
  • Phir: CBT-1, phir CBT-2, phir Document Verification aur Medical Examination.

Conclusion

RRB NTPC 2026 ka syllabus lamba nahi hai — sirf 3 subjects hain, lekin competition zyada hai isliye depth aur speed dono chahiye. CBT-1 ko screening samajhkar halke me mat lo, aur CBT-2 ke liye GA par extra mehnat karo kyunki wahan sabse zyada questions hote hain. Syllabus ko ek baar poora karke mock tests par shift ho jao — wahi asli selection ka farak banata hai.
