RRB Schedules NTPC UG CBT‑II for September 17, 2026

Mandatory Aadhaar biometric checks plus scheduled releases of exam‑city slips and e‑call letters will determine who may enter centres for the test.

Overview

  • The Railway Recruitment Boards formally set the NTPC Undergraduate Computer Based Test‑II for September 17, 2026, under CEN 07/2025.
  • Regional RRB websites will activate the exam‑city/date link 10 days before the test and open e‑call letter downloads four days before the test, with the same portal issuing travel authority for eligible SC/ST candidates.
  • Candidates must present original or e‑verified Aadhaar and complete Aadhaar biometric authentication at the centre, so applicants are advised to unlock, update, and verify their UIDAI records well before the exam day.
  • Published reporting describes CBT‑II as a 90‑minute objective test with 120 questions (50 General Awareness, 35 Mathematics, 35 Reasoning) and notes the drive advertises 3,058 NTPC UG vacancies with a post‑wise breakdown.
  • After CBT‑II, shortlisted applicants will face post‑specific stages such as aptitude or typing tests, document verification and medical checks, and RRBs warned candidates to use only official regional websites and ignore touts.
