RRB NTPC Graduate Recruitment 2026 – Overview

About Railway Recruitment Board (RRB)

The Railway Recruitment Board is the official recruiting authority for various non-gazetted posts across Indian Railways. Every RRB zone, such as RRB Jammu-Srinagar, RRB Guwahati, RRB Mumbai and others, conducts recruitment independently for its jurisdiction but under a common Centralized Employment Notification. For NTPC Graduate posts under CEN 05/2024, the selection process runs through multiple stages: the 1st Stage CBT, 2nd Stage CBT, Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) for select posts, Computer Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST) for typist posts, and finally Document Verification followed by Medical Examination.

RRB NTPC Graduate CBTST Result 2026 – What Has Been Released

As per the official notice, two separate updates have been issued together:

1. CBTST Qualifying Status: Candidates who appeared for the Senior Clerk cum Typist and Junior Account Assistant cum Typist posts in the typing skill test held on 28 December 2025 and 11 February 2026 can check their qualifying status by logging in with their Registration Number and Date of Birth.
2. Additional DV Shortlisting for Category 4 & 5: Based on performance in the 2nd Stage CBT (held on 13 October 2025) and the qualifying status in CBTST, additional candidates have been provisionally shortlisted for Document Verification and Medical Examination. This is in continuation of the earlier list already published for Category 1, 2 and 3.

Candidates should note that shortlisting for Category 4 and Category 5 has been done purely on the basis of CBT-2 marks, combined with a qualifying (not merit-based) status in CBTST.

Eligibility Criteria (As Per CEN 05/2024)

• Candidates must hold a graduate-level qualification (Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent) from a recognized university, as originally prescribed in CEN No. 05/2024.
• For typist posts (Senior Clerk cum Typist, Junior Account Assistant cum Typist), a qualifying score in the Computer Based Typing Skill Test is mandatory.
• Nationality and other eligibility conditions remain as specified in the original CEN 05/2024 notification.

Note: For exact category-wise educational qualification, please cross-check with the official CEN 05/2024 PDF on your regional RRB website, since qualification norms can vary slightly by post.

Age Limit

The age limit for RRB NTPC Graduate posts was fixed as per the original CEN 05/2024 notification, with standard age relaxation applicable to reserved categories (SC/ST, OBC, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen) as per Government of India rules. Since this current update relates only to CBTST result and DV shortlisting, candidates should refer to their original CEN notification for the exact age criteria applicable to their category.

Selection Process for RRB NTPC Graduate Posts

1. 1st Stage Computer Based Test (CBT-1)
2. 2nd Stage Computer Based Test (CBT-2)
3. Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) – for Category 2 posts only
4. Computer Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST) – for typist posts
5. Document Verification (DV)
6. Medical Examination

Document Verification (DV) – Important Details

• DV will be conducted at the location mentioned in the candidate’s e-call letter.
• Candidates will receive an Email/SMS/website link to download their e-call letter, which will include the reporting date, time, and detailed instructions.
• Original documents along with two self-attested photocopies (A4 size) must be carried, as specified in the CEN and e-call letter.
• Scanned copies (in true colour) of documents, photograph and signature must also be uploaded on the portal oirms-ir.gov.in/rrbdv, once the link is activated through a separate DV notice.
• Certificates must be in the prescribed format and in English or Hindi only.
• Candidates absent on the day of DV or Medical Examination will forfeit their candidature, and no additional time will be given for missing original documents.

Medical Examination – Key Points

• Medical Examination will be conducted at the nominated Railway Hospital on the day following Document Verification.
• Candidates must be prepared to stay for 3 to 4 days to allow for travel and completion of both DV and medical formalities.
• A prescribed medical fee of ₹24 only must be paid to the Railway Hospital/Health Unit. No other charges are payable for standard medical examination.
• In rare cases requiring specialised tests (CT scan, ultrasound, refractive eye surgery evaluation, etc.) unavailable at the Railway Hospital, candidates may need to pay the concerned laboratory or hospital directly.
• Medical fitness standards vary by post category. If a candidate does not meet the medical standard for the category in which they were shortlisted, RRB will examine eligibility for other categories opted for in the candidate’s preference order.

Important Dates

Documents Required for DV

• Original educational certificates and mark sheets
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS, if applicable)
• Valid photo identity proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, etc.)
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Signature specimen
• Two self-attested photocopies (A4 size) of all above documents
• Printout of online application and e-call letter

Who Should Check This Update

This update is relevant for:

• Candidates who appeared in the CBTST held on 28 December 2025 or 11 February 2026 for Senior Clerk cum Typist and Junior Account Assistant cum Typist posts.
• Candidates awaiting Category 4 and Category 5 shortlisting for NTPC Graduate posts under CEN 05/2024.
• Candidates already shortlisted for Category 1, 2 or 3 who wish to track the next stage of DV and Medical Examination.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Do not wait until the last moment to download the e-call letter once the DV schedule is announced.
• Do not forget to carry original documents; photocopies alone are not accepted at the DV stage.
• Do not ignore the ₹24 medical fee requirement or assume additional hospital charges are needed unless a specialised test is advised.
• Do not rely on unofficial agents or touts promising selection through “shortcuts” — RRB has clearly warned that the entire process is computerized and merit-based.
• Do not forget that being called for DV does not guarantee a final job offer; final selection depends on document verification, medical fitness, and merit.
