If you are preparing for the RRB NTPC 2026 exam<\/a><\/strong>, you might feel a little scared of the Mathematics section. Looking at long calculations and formulas makes many students nervous. But, RRB NTPC maths is strictly based on the 10th-standard level. It is not about being a math genius; it is purely about smart practice. In CBT 1, mathematics carries a solid weightage of 30 marks, and in CBT 2, it increases to 35 marks. Since there is no guesswork in maths, you can easily score a perfect 30 out of 30. In this blog, we will discuss exactly how to prepare for mathematics for RRB NTPC from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand the Mathematics Syllabus and Weightage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you pick up a heavy math book, you need to know exactly what the Railway Recruitment Board asks in the exam. You do not need to study high-level engineering calculus. The paper is a mix of basic Arithmetic and elementary Advanced Maths. Here is a simple table showing the most important mathematical topics and the number of questions you can expect on them in your CBT 1 exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
