RRB NTPC stage 1 exams were conducted in seven phases beginning from December 28, 2020 to July 15, 2021. The exams were held for recruitment on nearly 35,000 vacancies. Around 2.25 lakh candidates out of nearly 1 crore job seekers were likely declared successful in the CBT-1 exam. Those who were not able to clear the cut-off in the first stage had become eligible for CBT round 2 of RRB NTPC. The revised CBT-1 result was announced in April.
Earlier, the RRB exam use to be a single phase recruitment process. However, just last year, the Indian Railway changed it to the two stage process. This new addition led to several protests by candidates, who had alleged that the addition of another computer-based test (CBT) might lead to cheating and malpractice. During the RRB stage one exam scores of candidates also took to Twitter to express their gradiences.
Issuing a series of FAQs (frequently asked questions), the government then explained that in the event of a large-scale application where there are more than 1 crore applicants, two-stage CBT is conducted to produce free and fair merit.
