The Railway Recruitment Board has officially released the city intimation slip for the second stage computer-based test (CBT 2) for the Graduate Level NTPC recruitment under CEN 06/2025. This update is crucial for candidates who successfully cleared the first stage of the selection process. The slip provides essential information regarding the allotted exam city and the specific date of the examination, allowing candidates to plan their travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance. It is important to note that this document serves only as an intimation of the exam city and date, and it is not the final admit card required for entry into the examination hall. Candidates are encouraged to verify their details through the official regional portals using their registration credentials. The CBT 2 examination is scheduled to be held on 10 July 2026 across various centers nationwide. Candidates should keep a close watch on their respective regional RRB websites for the release of the final e-admit card, which will contain the specific exam center address and reporting instructions.

The selection process for the RRB NTPC Graduate level posts involves multiple stages. The first stage is the CBT 1, which acts as a screening test. Candidates who qualify in CBT 1 are eligible to appear for the CBT 2, which is the second stage of the selection process. The CBT 2 consists of 120 questions covering General Awareness, Mathematics, and General Intelligence and Reasoning. There is a negative marking scheme where one-third of a mark is deducted for every incorrect answer. Following the CBT 2, candidates may be required to undergo further stages such as a Computer Based Aptitude Test or Typing Skill Test, depending on the specific post requirements. Final selection is based on the merit list prepared after all stages are completed and document verification is successful.

The CBT 2 examination is structured to test candidates across three main subjects. The General Awareness section carries 50 marks, Mathematics carries 35 marks, and General Intelligence and Reasoning carries 35 marks. The total duration for the 120-question paper is 120 minutes. A negative marking of 1/3 mark applies to each wrong answer.
