  • Minimum age: 18 years
  • Maximum age: 30 years

Age Relaxation:

  • SC/ST candidates: 5 years relaxation
  • OBC candidates: 3 years relaxation

Agar aap borderline age category mein aate hain, to age calculation carefully check karna, kyunki ek choti si miscalculation bhi rejection ka reason ban sakti hai.

2. Educational Qualification

Sabhi posts 12th pass candidates ke liye hain, lekin kuch difference hai:

  • 50% marks condition:

    • Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Junior Clerk cum Typist, Train Clerk ke liye 12th with 50% marks

  • Typing skill required:

    • Accounts Clerk cum Typist
    • Junior Clerk cum Typist
    • Typing speed: 30 words per minute (English) ya 25 words per minute (Hindi)

Agar aapki typing abhi strong nahi hai, toh abhi se practice start karna better hai. Daily 30–40 minutes typewriting practice aapko easily required speed tak le aa sakti hai.


Selection Process – Step-by-step journey

Is recruitment ka selection process multi-stage hai. Har stage ko seriously lena zaroori hai:

  1. Computer Based Test (CBT-1) – Common for all posts
  2. Computer Based Test (CBT-2) – Again common for all posts
  3. Typing Skill Test – Sirf Accounts Clerk cum Typist & Junior Clerk cum Typist ke liye
  4. Further stages – Usually document verification & medical, jo official schedule ke hisaab se conduct hote hain (yahaan specifically mention nahi hai, but generally Railway recruitment mein yeh hota hai)

Shortlisting Rule: CBT-1 ke baad candidates ko CBT-2 ke liye shortlist kiya jayega community-wise vacancy ke 15 times tak. Yani agar kisi category mein 100 seats hain, to approx. 1500 candidates tak ko CBT-2 ke liye bulaya ja sakta hai. Competition tough hoga, lekin structured preparation se clear ho sakta hai. 💪


Exam Pattern – CBT-1 & CBT-2 ko detail mein samjhein

Exam pattern ko samajhna sabse pehla step hota hai smart preparation ka.

CBT-1 Pattern

  • Total Questions: 100

  • Total Time: 90 minutes

  • Sections:

    • General Awareness – 40 questions
    • Mathematics – 30 questions
    • General Intelligence & Reasoning – 30 questions
  • Negative Marking:

    • Har galat answer par 1/3rd marks ka deduction hoga
    • Iska matlab ye hai ki random guessing avoid karna better hai

CBT-2 Pattern

  • Total Questions: 120

  • Total Time: 90 minutes

  • Sections:

    • General Awareness – 50 questions
    • Mathematics – 35 questions
    • General Intelligence & Reasoning – 35 questions

Yahan bhi 1/3rd negative marking applicable hai. CBT-2 thoda zyada detailed aur tough level ka hota hai, kyunki iske basis par final merit kaafi strongly decide hoti hai.


Typing Skill Test – Don’t ignore it!

Typing Test sirf un posts ke liye hai:

  • Accounts Clerk cum Typist
  • Junior Clerk cum Typist

Typing Requirements:

  • 30 WPM in English ya 25 WPM in Hindi

Bahut saare aspirants written exam clear kar dete hain but typing test mein struggle kar jaate hain, kyunki unhone consistent practice nahi ki hoti.

Aap kya kar sakte hain:

  • Daily fixed time rakho, jaise 20–30 minutes sirf typing ke liye
  • Online free typing tools use karo
  • Pehle accuracy pe focus karo, phir speed pe

Yeh ek aisi skill hai jo sirf exam hi nahi, future office jobs mein bhi aapko help karegi.


Application Fee & Refund System – Thoda unique but helpful

Is recruitment mein fee structure ke saath ek refund system bhi mention hai:

  • General / OBC: ₹500

    • CBT-1 mein appear hone ke baad ₹400 refund ho jayega
  • SC / ST / PwBD / Female / EWS / EBC: ₹250

    • CBT-1 mein appear hone ke baad poora ₹250 refund

Yani agar aap genuinely exam dene wale candidate hain, to effective cost kaafi kam ho jaata hai, bas aapko exam dena zaroori hai.


Kaise Apply Karein? Step-by-step Guidance (General Flow)

Exact buttons/links region-wise RRB website par thode different ho sakte hain, lekin overall application process kuch is tarah hota hai:

  1. Apne regional RRB ki official website open karein

  2. “NTPC 12th Level Recruitment 2025” ya similar link search karein

  3. Detailed notification dhyaan se padhein – specially eligibility, age, reservation rules

Form Correction Window – Second chance, but use wisely

Agar aapne form mein koi galti kar di ho, to:

  • Aapko 07 December se 16 December 2025 ke beech correction karne ka mauka milta hai
  • Correction ke liye nominal correction fee lagega
  • Sabhi fields editable nahi hote, isliye pehle hi form accurately bharne ki कोशिश karo

Is window ko lightly mat lena – bahut students yahi par careless ho jaate hain.


Preparation Strategy – Smart study karein, sirf hard study nahi 🙂

RRB NTPC jaise All India level exam mein lakhs of candidates appear karte hain. Lekin jo seriously, planned way mein padhai karte hain, woh alag dikhaai dete hain.

Section-wise short tips

  • General Awareness (GA):

    • Static GK + current affairs ka mix hota hai
    • Roz newspaper summary ya monthly current affairs capsule follow kar sakte hain
  • Mathematics:

    • 10th level ke topics (Percentage, Profit-Loss, SI-CI, Time & Work, Ratio, Algebra basics, Geometry basics, Data Interpretation etc.)
    • Daily 20–30 questions practice karein
  • Reasoning:

    • Puzzles, coding–decoding, series, blood relation, direction, mirror image etc.

Emotional Note – Don’t give up, bas consistent raho 💛

Ho sakta hai ye aapka first attempt ho, ya shayad 2nd–3rd attempt. Kabhi-kabhi lagta hai ki syllabus bahut bada hai, competition high hai, attempts kam bache hain… Lekin yaad rakhiye:

  • Government exam ek marathon hai, sprint nahi
  • Har notification, har exam aapko aur strong banata hai
  • Agar aap har din thoda-thoda disciplined study kar rahe hain, to aap already crowd se alag ho
