RRB NTPC Exam Pattern 2024

The third stage is followed by a computer-based aptitude test or a typing test, depending on the post they have applied for. The final stage of RRB NTPC is a medical test, after which the authorities will verify the original documents of the qualified candidates.

The first stage of the computer-based test would be 90 minutes for normal candidates. Meanwhile, 120 minutes will be assigned to the students who are in the PWD category. There will be questions from Arithmetic (20), General Science (25), Reasoning (25), and General Awareness (30) in the first level of the computer-based test. Each question will be worth 1 mark, and one-third will be deducted for every wrong answer.

The second stage of the RRB NTPC examination is slightly difficult compared to the first stage. However, the topics and syllabus for the second stage would be the same as those for the first stage. There will be 30 questions of 1 mark each from each section. Students will get 90 minutes to complete their examinations.

The third stage will be a typing test or a computer-based aptitude test. It is mandatory to have a typing speed of 30 words per minute for English and 25 words per minute for Hindi. Candidates who have applied for the typist position will have to take the typing test, whereas the rest will take the computer-based test.
