# RRB NTPC UG CBT 2 exam set for September 17, 2026 2026-08-27T09:03:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Railway Recruitment Boards have announced that the second-stage computer-based test (CBT 2) for the RRB NTPC undergraduate recruitment will be held on September 17, 2026. The 90-minute exam will contain 120 objective-type questions: 50 on General Awareness, and 35 each on Mathematics and General Intelligence and Reasoning. Candidates must score minimum qualifying percentages: 40% for UR and EWS, 30% for OBC (non-creamy layer) and SC, and 25% for ST. PwBD candidates may get a 2-mark relaxation. The drive aims to fill 3,058 posts, including 2,424 positions as Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, 394 as Accounts Clerk cum Typist, 163 as Junior Clerk cum Typist, and 77 as Trains Clerk. The full selection process includes CBT 1 (already held), CBT 2, a typing skill test, and document verification. Candidates can check the detailed schedule on the official websites of their regional RRBs. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 3,058 vacancies across four clerical and ticketing roles are tiny relative to the millions who typically apply for RRB NTPC posts, meaning cut-off marks will be driven by intense competition even at the minimum eligibility percentages. Candidates should note that CBT 1 was held in phases earlier, and this second stage is the final written hurdle before the typing test and document verification. Given that the last RRB NTPC recruitment for undergraduate posts drew over 2.5 crore applicants for roughly 35,000 jobs, the effective competition per post here will be severe, making every mark in the 120-question, 90-minute paper critical. The key date to watch is 17 September 2026, when the exam is held, with admit cards expected a few weeks prior on regional RRB websites. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Leads with the exam date and schedule details without any editorial slant on the recruitment process.
