When was the RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Result 2026 released?

The Railway Recruitment Board declared the RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 1 Result 2026 on 24 August 2026, for the exam held across multiple shifts from 7–9 May and 13–20 June 2026. Results are being rolled out region by region rather than all at once.

The first wave covered 16 zones, including Mumbai, Prayagraj, Patna, Jammu-Srinagar, Kolkata, Chennai, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Muzaffarpur, Thiruvananthapuram, Ahmedabad, Gorakhpur, Chandigarh, Siliguri, and Bilaspur. A second batch followed a day later covering Bhopal, Malda, Bengaluru, Ajmer, Mumbai, Prayagraj, Jammu, Patna, Kolkata, Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, and Bhubaneswar.

If your zone hasn’t appeared yet, don’t panic — RRB is releasing this in staggered batches across all regional boards, not simultaneously. Keep checking your specific regional RRB website rather than assuming a nationwide delay.

How to check your RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Result

The result and merit list PDFs are published directly on the official RRB website, rrbcdg.gov.in, with the scorecard login hosted separately at rrb.digialm.com.

Here’s the step-by-step:

  1. Go to the official website of the regional RRB you applied under — not a generic national portal.
  2. Look for the “latest news” section on the homepage.
  3. Find the notice titled “RRB NTPC Undergraduate CEN 07/2025 CBT I Result / Provisionally Selected Candidates” and open it.
  4. Locate your roll number in the zone-wise merit list PDF.
  5. To view your individual scorecard, log in separately with your registration number and date of birth/password.

The individual scorecard login will open on 26 August 2026 at 5 PM — so if the merit list is out but your scorecard link isn’t working yet, that’s expected; it’s a separate, later release.

What the cut off actually means

Along with the merit list, RRB has published category-wise cut off marks for each zone. A few things worth understanding if this is your first RRB exam:

  • The cut off is not a fixed national number — it varies by zone and category (UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS etc.), based on vacancy count and how candidates performed in that region.
  • Clearing the cut off means you’re provisionally shortlisted for CBT 2, not finally selected. There’s still document verification and further stages ahead.
  • If your zone’s list hasn’t been released yet, the cut off for it isn’t out either — the two always come together per zone.

What happens next: CBT 2 details

The RRB NTPC Undergraduate CBT 2 exam will be held on 17 September 2026, in two shifts. Admit card and exam city intimation slip dates for CBT 2 have not been announced yet, so keep monitoring your regional RRB site rather than searching for a leaked date — there isn’t one yet.

What to do right now if you’ve cleared CBT 1:

  • Download and save your result PDF and scorecard the moment both are available — don’t rely on being able to re-access them later.
  • Keep a printed copy for the document verification stage that follows later in the process.
  • Start CBT 2 preparation immediately. The gap between CBT 1 result and CBT 2 exam is under a month, which is tight if you haven’t already been revising.
  • Watch for the admit card and city intimation slip — they’ll typically drop 7–10 days before the exam based on past RRB cycles, though nothing is confirmed yet for this round.

Quick FAQ

Q: My zone’s result isn’t out yet — is something wrong? No. Results are being released in batches across regions on different days. Check your specific RRB’s website rather than a general status.

Q: Is the scorecard the same as the result PDF? No — the merit list/result PDF shows roll numbers of shortlisted candidates and is released first. The individual scorecard, showing your actual marks, opens separately and slightly later.

Q: Does clearing CBT 1 guarantee a job? No. It only shortlists you for CBT 2. Given roughly 63 lakh candidates appeared for the UG exam this cycle, competition at every subsequent stage remains high — treat CBT 1 clearance as one hurdle down, not the finish line.

Q: What’s the total exam structure after this? RRB NTPC recruitment runs through CBT 1 → CBT 2 → (Typing Skill Test / CBAT depending on post) → Document Verification → Final Result. CBT 1 is just the first filter.
