RRB NTPC Under Graduate Recruitment 2025 – 3058 Vacancies

Preparing for the RRB NTPC Under Graduate Recruitment 2025 is not just about solving questions—it is about understanding the exam pattern deeply, improving accuracy, and becoming comfortable with time management under pressure. Since CBT-1 and CBT-2 both carry negative marking, the safest approach is to maximise accuracy rather than rushing to complete all questions.

1️⃣ Understand what the Railways actually tests
The exam doesn’t demand advanced mathematics or high-level reasoning. It focuses on:

• Clear concepts of arithmetic used in real life

• Logical reasoning rather than memorisation

• General awareness of India (history, geography, economy, government schemes, sports, and railways)

When aspirants understand this, their preparation becomes more purposeful and less stressful.

2️⃣ Instead of mugging formulas, learn application
Mathematics seen in the NTPC exam revolves around the same chapters every year—profit-loss, percentage, time and distance, ratios, LCM–HCF, and algebra basics.
A practical way to improve is to solve 20–25 questions of the same chapter in one sitting. The brain starts recognising patterns and shortcuts automatically.

3️⃣ Reasoning demands observation, not theory
General Intelligence & Reasoning improves only when students solve questions daily. One smart approach is to practise 15–20 puzzles such as analogies, directions, ven diagrams, coding-decoding and figure-based reasoning regularly. Within 10–15 days, the solving speed becomes noticeably faster.

4️⃣ General Awareness decides the final merit
Most students lose marks here, not because questions are tough, but because the syllabus is huge. The trick is to read in small quantities but regularly.
Focus on:

• Indian Railways facts (zones, headquarters, ministers, trains, schemes)

• Current events of national importance

• Indian history and constitution basics

• Capitals, currencies, government programs

Writing short notes improves retention far better than reading blindly.

5️⃣ Build the habit of timed practice
Railway exams are time-bound, so candidates who practise under a timer naturally score higher.
A simple routine that works:

• 30 minutes of maths practice

• 30 minutes of reasoning

• 30 minutes of general awareness

• Analyse mistakes
  This routine alone improves accuracy and confidence within weeks.

6️⃣ Accuracy is more important than attempts
Because of negative marking (-1/3), guessing can reduce overall score.
A stable strategy is:
✅ Attempt sure questions first
✅ Mark doubtful questions only after checking every step
✅ Skip unsafe guesses

7️⃣ Keep eyesight ready for the medical standards
Many candidates clear CBT stages but face issues in medical tests, especially for eyesight standards. If someone uses spectacles, they should verify the medical category they fall into before applying to a post. This saves time and prevents cancellation at the final stage.
