RRB NTPC Result & Cut-Off: How to Check and What It Means
Updated 19 Jun 2026 · 5 min read
RRB NTPC results come in stages — CBT 1, then CBT 2, then the skill/aptitude test and document verification. This guide explains how to check your result and how the cut-off works.
Cut-offs vary by zone, post and year, so use previous figures only as a rough guide and confirm on the official RRB websites.
How the RRB NTPC result works
- CBT 1 is the screening stage; its result shortlists candidates for CBT 2 (the merit-deciding stage).
- Results are published by each Railway Recruitment Board, with a scorecard via login (registration number + date of birth) on the RRB/Digialm portal.
- After CBT 2 come the Typing Skill Test or Computer-Based Aptitude Test (for certain posts), document verification and a medical.
How the RRB NTPC cut-off is decided
RRB NTPC cut-offs are set zone-wise, post-wise (since posts span Pay Levels 2 to 6) and category-wise, based on vacancies and difficulty. Because the CBTs run in many shifts, scores are normalised, and the normalised score decides shortlisting and merit.
Where to check
Check the result and cut-off on your Railway Recruitment Board's official website — each zone publishes its own result, so confirm you are on the correct zone's site.
