Background and context
CEN 07/2025 is the RRBs’ recruitment notice for various NTPC Undergraduate posts. The selection process listed on the portal so far includes a second stage CBT (CBT-II), followed by the typing skill test for shortlisted candidates. On 30 October 2026 the boards published the CBT-II result, the cut-off marks and the shortlist of candidates for the CBTST, and a link to download CBT-II score cards followed on 31 October 2026.
On 4 November 2026 the boards also posted two further notices for CEN 07/2025: a special notice on CBTST language selection and uploading of exemption certificates, and a notice of special instructions for the CBTST. Shortlisted candidates should read both on the portal.
What candidates must do before the test
- Exam city and date: the link for viewing the exam city and date will be made available on RRB websites 10 days before the exam.
- Travel authority: SC/ST candidates can download their Travelling Authority through the same link.
- E-call letter: downloading of e-call letters will start 4 days before the exam date shown in the exam city and date intimation link.
- Aadhaar: Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication will be done at the exam centre before entry into the exam hall. Candidates must bring their original Aadhaar card.
Official advisories in the notice
Candidates are advised to refer only to the unified official RRB website for updates on the recruitment process and not to be misled by unauthenticated sources. The notice also warns candidates to beware of touts who make fake promises of appointment for illegal consideration, and states that RRB selections are based on the Computer Based Test and recruitment is based only on merit.
Why is this important?
The CBTST is the stage that follows CBT-II for the shortlisted candidates of CEN 07/2025. With the test tentatively set for 27 November 2026, candidates have a fixed window to practise typing and to track the exam city link, the e-call letter release and the Aadhaar requirement. Because the date is described as tentative, candidates should confirm the final date through the exam city and date intimation link.
