RRB NTPC 2026: CBT-1 to CBT-2 Strategy for Railway Aspirants

RRB NTPC is a multi-stage exam: CBT-1 is a screening test, CBT-2 decides the merit, followed by skill tests and document verification for relevant posts.

CBT-1 focus

CBT-1 has 100 questions in 90 minutes across Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, and General Awareness. Since it is only a screening stage, speed and accuracy on easy questions matter more than depth.

CBT-2 conversion

CBT-2 is tougher and decides your rank. Double down on General Science and General Awareness capsules, and take full-length CBT-2 mocks weekly. This is exactly where our Railway batch spends the second half of the course.
