Railway RRB NTPC CEN 06/2025 CBT II Answer Key 2026

This page tracks Railway RRB NTPC CEN 06/2025 CBT II Answer Key 2026, a certificate verification schedule. The key figures are an application window closing 27 November 2025 and a fee of ₹500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Indian Railways recruits through Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) and Railway Recruitment Cells (RRC). Railway selection normally runs one or more computer-based tests followed, depending on the post, by a physical efficiency test, document verification and a medical examination with post-specific vision standards.

Applications open on 27 October 2025 and close on 27 November 2025, giving candidates 32 days to complete the process. The 32-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 29/11/2025 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. The exam is currently shown for 16-27 March 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 33 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 15-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream from Any Recognized University in India. More Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹250 and ₹500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

RRB NTPC runs two computer-based stages with normalisation across shifts, followed by a typing or aptitude test depending on the post applied for. Zone-wise vacancy counts differ substantially, so check the zone you are applying to.
