RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Result 2026 Declared: Cut-Off, Scorecard Date and What Happens Next
RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Result 2026 Declared: Cut-Off, Scorecard Date and What Happens Next
On the evening of 24 August 2026, Railway Recruitment Boards started publishing the RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 result for CEN 07/2025. The rollout is zone-wise, so PDFs are appearing on regional RRB websites one after another rather than in a single national list. RRB Muzaffarpur, RRB Ahmedabad and RRB Bilaspur were among the first boards to upload their lists of provisionally shortlisted candidates, and more zones are following.
This recruitment covers 3,058 posts at the 12th-pass level, including Commercial cum Ticket Clerk and Trains Clerk. If you appeared in the CBT 1 held in May and June 2026, this article walks you through where to check your roll number, the cut-off marks released so far, the scorecard date, and how little time you actually have before CBT 2.
RRB NTPC UG Result 2026: Overview
Which Zones Have Published the Result So Far?
Results under CEN 07/2025 are provisional lists of candidates shortlisted for CBT 2, published as PDFs of roll numbers. As per early updates, the counts from the first three boards look like this:
- RRB Muzaffarpur: 586 candidates shortlisted for CBT 2
- RRB Ahmedabad: 2,303 candidates shortlisted
- RRB Bilaspur: 1,038 candidates shortlisted
Gorakhpur and Siliguri PDFs surfaced soon after, and the remaining boards are expected to follow within a day or two. These shortlist counts are compiled from coaching-portal trackers, so treat them as indicative and verify the exact figure from your own zone's official PDF before drawing conclusions.
One thing aspirants from Bihar should note: Muzaffarpur's list is short because the zone's UG vacancy count is small this cycle, not because the exam went badly for the region. Zone selection at form-fill time decides your competition pool, and this cycle has made that painfully visible.
Zone-Wise Result Tracker: Status and Official Links (All 21 RRBs)

Scorecard link: individual scorecards open from 26 August 2026, 5:00 PM through the official RRB candidate login (rrb.digialm.com login page); the same link is also published on every zone website. Log in with your registration number and date of birth. If the page does not open before 5 PM on 26 August, that is expected; it activates only at the announced time.
One rule worth repeating: download the result, cut-off and scorecard only from these official websites. PDFs circulating on Telegram and WhatsApp are re-uploads on private drives; they carry a real tampering risk, and at the CBT 2 document stage only the official copy will stand.
How to Check RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Result 2026
- Open your regional RRB website. For Bihar candidates this is usually RRB Muzaffarpur or RRB Patna as per the zone you applied under.
- Find the link titled roughly "CEN 07/2025 – NTPC (UG) – CBT-I Result / List of candidates provisionally shortlisted for CBT-II".
- Download the PDF. It lists roll numbers only, in ascending order.
- Press Ctrl+F and type your roll number. Match every digit, not just the last four.
- From 26 August, 5:00 PM onwards, log in with your registration number and date of birth to download your scorecard and see your normalized marks.
Keep a screenshot of the result page and save the PDF locally. RRB servers slow down badly on result evenings, and you will want proof of your shortlisting when the CBT 2 city slip process starts.
RRB NTPC UG Cut-Off 2026: Zone-Wise Marks Released So Far
Cut-off marks in NTPC are normalized scores out of 100, and they swing sharply from zone to zone. Early figures reported for the UR category and other categories in the first three zones:
These numbers are sourced from exam-prep portals tracking the zone PDFs, not from a consolidated RRB release. Cross-check your zone's cut-off from the official cut-off PDF on your RRB website before using it for any decision. Muzaffarpur crossing 82 for UR tells you how intense the Bihar-side competition was; that is higher than several zones' UR cut-offs in the previous NTPC UG cycle under CEN 06/2024.
Vacancy Break-Up Under CEN 07/2025
Nearly 8 out of 10 posts this cycle are Commercial cum Ticket Clerk. If you filled Accounts Clerk or Junior Clerk as higher preferences, remember that both need a typing skill test after CBT 2, in English at 30 wpm or Hindi at 25 wpm on computer.
What Comes Next: CBT 2 Timeline
The CBT 2 date of 17 September is circulating via exam portals and matches the schedule pattern RRBs have followed this year, but the formal exam-date notice for your zone is the only version that counts. Verify it on your regional RRB website once the city slip is out.
CBT 2 Exam Pattern (as per previous NTPC cycles)
Negative marking stays at 1/3 mark per wrong answer, and normalization applies if the exam runs in multiple shifts. The section-wise weightage makes one thing clear: General Awareness alone carries more marks than Maths does, and it is the fastest section to score in if your current affairs are fresh.
Reading Your Scorecard the Right Way
When the scorecard opens on 26 August, most candidates will glance at the total and close the tab. That wastes the most useful document of this cycle. Your scorecard shows raw marks, normalized marks and, in most zones, your section-wise split for General Awareness, Maths and Reasoning out of the CBT 1 structure of 100 questions.
Three numbers deserve a minute each. First, the gap between your normalized score and your zone's category cut-off: a margin under 3 marks means you scraped through and cannot afford a weak section in CBT 2. Second, your GA score, because that section triples in weight in the next stage. Third, your accuracy percentage; if you attempted 85 and got 60 right, your problem is question selection, not knowledge.
Candidates who missed the cut-off this time should still download the scorecard. RRB ALP and Group D cycles are running, and knowing exactly which section sank you is worth more than another month of unfocused revision.
25 Days to CBT 2: A Short, Honest Plan
You have roughly three and a half weeks. That is enough to sharpen, not enough to rebuild. This plan assumes your CBT 1 preparation base is intact; if you stopped studying after June, cut the revision breadth in half and protect accuracy instead.
- Days 1–10: Current affairs of the last 6 months, Railway-specific GK (zones, production units, new trains), and static GK revision from your CBT 1 notes. One CBT 2-pattern mock on alternate days.
- Days 11–20: Daily full mock at 90 minutes, strict timer. Maths: percentages, ratio, time-work, SI-CI. Reasoning: puzzles, syllogism, coding-decoding. Review every wrong answer the same evening.
- Days 21–25: Only mocks and error-log revision. No new topics. Sleep cycle shifted to match your shift timing.
ExamAtlas has free CBT 2-pattern railway mocks with AI analytics that show your topic-wise accuracy, which is exactly the data you need in a 25-day window. You can also keep your GA fresh with the daily current affairs quiz and the Railway exam section for zone-wise updates. For the full CBT 2 syllabus split, see our RRB NTPC CBT 2 syllabus guide.
FAQs on RRB NTPC UG Result 2026
When was the RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 result 2026 declared?
The zone-wise rollout began on 24 August 2026. Muzaffarpur, Ahmedabad and Bilaspur published first, and the remaining RRB zones are uploading their PDFs in sequence on their regional websites.
Where can I download my NTPC UG scorecard?
The scorecard link goes live on 26 August 2026 at 5:00 PM on regional RRB websites. Log in with your registration number and date of birth to see your normalized score and section-wise marks.
What is the RRB NTPC UG cut-off for Muzaffarpur?
As per early reports, UR 82.82, EWS 79.53, OBC 81.17, SC 72.56 and ST 71.04 out of 100 normalized marks. Confirm from the official cut-off PDF on rrbmuzaffarpur.gov.in before treating these as final.
When is RRB NTPC UG CBT 2 2026?
Portals tracking the recruitment report 17 September 2026 as the CBT 2 date, with the city intimation slip on 7 September and admit cards on 13 September. The official notice from your RRB zone will confirm the date.
Is there negative marking in CBT 2?
Yes. As in CBT 1, every wrong answer costs 1/3 of a mark in CBT 2. With 120 questions in 90 minutes, blind guessing in the last five minutes usually costs more than it earns.
Do all NTPC UG posts need a typing test?
No. Only Accounts Clerk cum Typist and Junior Clerk cum Typist require the typing skill test (English 30 wpm or Hindi 25 wpm). Commercial cum Ticket Clerk and Trains Clerk go from CBT 2 to document verification directly.
Final Word
A shortlist PDF is not a job; it is an entry ticket to a harder round. With only 3,058 posts nationally and shortlists as tight as Muzaffarpur's 586, CBT 2 under CEN 07/2025 will reward the candidates who convert these 25 days into mock-test data instead of passive reading. Download your scorecard on 26 August, note the gap between your score and your zone's cut-off, and let that number decide how aggressive your CBT 2 attempt strategy needs to be.
