RRB NTPC 2025 recruitment is a massive opportunity for both graduates and undergraduates to join the Indian Railways. If you want to crack this exam, then you don't just need hard work but a smart strategy too. For that, you first need to understand the RRB NTPC syllabus in detail. The selection process includes two major Computer-Based Tests: CBT 1 and CBT 2. The CBT 1 is for screening (qualifying), but CBT 2 decides your job. The syllabus for both stages is almost the same, but there is a difference in their difficulty level. In this article, we have provided a detailed syllabus for each tier with the exam pattern.
