Learning context
Railway recruitment for Group C posts such as NTPC is handled by 21 regional Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), coordinated by the Railway Recruitment Control Board (RRCB) under the Ministry of Railways. For graduate-level NTPC posts, selection runs through two stages of a Computer Based Test (CBT-1 for screening, CBT-2 for merit), followed — for specific posts — by a typing skill test or a computer-based aptitude test, and then document verification and a medical examination.

Check yourself: does a candidate’s CBT-1 score usually count directly toward the final merit list for NTPC posts?
No — CBT-1 is mainly used to screen candidates for CBT-2; it is CBT-2 (and, where applicable, the skill test) that primarily decides merit for a specific post.
Revision task: note this notification’s number (CEN 06/2026), the vacancy count (3,548) and the application deadline (6 November), and separate these release-specific details from the standing stages of selection above.
