If you cleared RRB NTPC Graduate CBT 1 (CEN 06/2025), your City Intimation Slip is being released from 30 June 2026 onward on your regional RRB website. CBT 2 will be held on 10 July 2026, and your actual Admit Card follows separately on 6 July 2026 — the city slip alone does not let you into the exam hall.
Cleared RRB NTPC Graduate CBT 1 and now refreshing the RRB website every hour for your city slip? Over 87,000 candidates are in exactly the same position right now, across all 21 RRB zones. Here is exactly what has happened, what is coming next, and what you need to do this week — verified against the latest official notices, not guessed.
Where Things Stand: RRB NTPC Graduate CEN 06/2025 Right Now
The Railway Recruitment Board conducted CBT 1 for 5,810 Graduate-level posts across nine exam days — 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27 March 2026. The CBT 1 result was declared on 11 June 2026, zone by zone, and over 87,000 candidates have now qualified for CBT 2 nationwide.

Your next step: If your roll number was on the CBT 1 result PDF for your zone, you are eligible for CBT 2 — proceed straight to the City Intimation Slip section below.
City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card: What’s the Difference?
This is the single most-confused part of this stage, and most articles don’t explain it clearly. They are two separate documents, released on two separate dates:
| Document | Tells You | Release Date | Gets You Into the Exam Hall? |
| City Intimation Slip | Your allotted exam city and state only | From 30 June 2026 | No — informational only |
| Admit Card (e-Call Letter) | Exact exam centre address, roll number, reporting time, shift | 6 July 2026 | Yes — mandatory for entry, along with a valid photo ID |
The city slip exists purely so you can plan travel and accommodation early — RRB releases it roughly 10 days before the exam specifically for this reason. You cannot request a change of city, date, or shift based on anything shown on this slip.
Your next step: Download your city slip this week to start planning travel, but don’t throw away travel-flexibility — your actual reporting time only appears on the admit card on 6 July.
How to Download Your RRB NTPC CBT 2 City Intimation Slip
- Go to your regional RRB website (the one you applied under — e.g. rrbcdg.gov.in for Chandigarh zone, or your own zone’s site) or the central rrb.indianrailways.gov.in portal.
- Find the notice titled “CEN 06/2025 (NTPC-Graduate): CBT-2 City-Intimation” on the homepage.
- Click through to the login page and enter your Registration Number and Date of Birth (or password, depending on your zone’s portal).
- Your allotted exam city and state will display on screen. Save or screenshot it for your records.
- Note: if your zone’s site hasn’t shown it yet, check back daily — the 21 RRB zones release the slip on a staggered schedule, not all at once.
Your next step: Bookmark your specific regional RRB site now — not a generic aggregator page — since the login and download flow differs slightly by zone.
What Does CBT 2 Actually Test?
CBT 2 carries real weight — unlike CBT 1, which only screens you into the next round, your CBT 2 marks go directly into the final merit list.
| Section | Questions | What It Covers |
| Mathematics | Part of 120 total | Number system, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | Part of 120 total | Analogies, classification, coding-decoding, puzzles, statement-conclusion |
| General Awareness | Part of 120 total | Current affairs, Indian Railways updates, static GK, science basics |
Total: 120 questions for 120 marks, in 90 minutes. As with CBT 1, there’s a 1/3 mark deduction for every wrong answer, and raw scores are converted using equi-percentile normalisation across shifts before the merit list is prepared.Your next step: Since CBT 2 marks count directly toward selection, spend your remaining prep days on accuracy over speed — a wrong guess costs more here than a skipped question

What Happens After CBT 2?
Candidates who clear CBT 2 move to a post-specific further stage — a typing skill test or Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) for roles like Junior Account Assistant cum Typist, Senior Clerk cum Typist, or Station Master — followed by document verification and a medical examination. There’s no shortcut around any of these stages, and the final merit list draws on normalised CBT 2 marks plus, where applicable, CBAT performance.
Your next step: Check which post(s) you applied for and confirm now whether they require a typing test or CBAT, so you can start that specific prep alongside your CBT 2 revision rather than after.

Your Next Step
With under two weeks to CBT 2, your priorities are simple: download your city intimation slip from your regional RRB site, plan your travel now while you have time, and spend your remaining prep on accuracy in Maths, Reasoning, and General Awareness rather than starting new topics. Your admit card follows on 6 July — don’t travel on the city slip alone.
