RRB NTPC UG CBTST Exam Date 2026

RRB NTPC 10+2 (UG) CBTST Exam Date 2026 — tentatively 27 November 2026

The Railway Recruitment Boards have tentatively scheduled the Computer Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST) for the NTPC Under Graduate recruitment, CEN 07/2025, on 27 November 2026 (Friday). The date is explicitly tentative in the RRB notice dated 2 November 2026, and it may change — this post will be updated if the Boards revise it. This is an exam-date post only, not a new recruitment: applications for CEN 07/2025 closed in December 2025, and the CBTST is a stage of that 2025 cycle (3,058 posts), not the 2026 NTPC cycles.

The CBTST is for candidates shortlisted in CBT-II, which was held on 17 September 2026 and whose result was published on the unified official RRB website on 30 October 2026. It applies only to the Accounts Clerk cum Typist and Junior Clerk cum Typist shortlists — not to Commercial cum Ticket Clerk or Train Clerk. The test is qualifying only.

What candidates should do now

The typing language option (English or Hindi) is live on the unified official RRB website from 4 November 2026 (5:00 PM) to 18 November 2026 (11:55 PM). English is the default if no option is exercised, and the option once exercised cannot be changed. Hindi typing needs the Krutidev or Mangal font. PwBD candidates seeking exemption from the typing test (blindness or low vision, cerebral palsy, or locomotor disability of 40% or more, permanent, under para 13.3 of CEN 07/2025) can upload their exemption certificate from 4 November 2026 (5:00 PM) to 25 November 2026 (11:55 PM) — JPG or PDF up to 5 MB, in the Annexure V(H) format. The original certificate must be produced at document verification.

The exam city and date link, along with the SC/ST Travelling Authority, will be live 10 days before the exam, and e-call letters will be available 4 days before the exam date shown in that link.

Test details

Candidates must type at least 300 words in English or 250 words in Hindi in 10 minutes, after a 1-minute practice and a 5-minute break. The minimum speed is 30 words per minute in English or 25 words per minute in Hindi. 5% of the total words typed are ignored in the mistake count, and editing tools are not permitted. There is Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication at the centre — candidates must bring their original Aadhaar card.

Note on the source: the RRB notices dated 2 and 4 November 2026 were read from verbatim mirror copies, because the official RRB hosts were unreachable at the time of verification. This is a different post from the CBT-II result of the same CEN 07/2025 cycle already live on this site.
