CBT-2 is the second computer-based test in graduate-level RRB NTPC recruitment, for posts such as Station Master, Goods Train Manager and Commercial cum Ticket Clerk in Indian Railways. Candidates who clear CBT-1 are shortlisted for it, and its marks decide the merit list.

ExamForge gives you 14 free, timed practice sets for CBT-2’s three sections: five in Mathematics, five in Reasoning and four in General Awareness. Every question is in English and Hindi, and almost every one comes with an explanation after you submit. Your first three sets need no signup.

CBT-2 deducts one-third of a mark for each wrong answer. ExamForge does not, so to rehearse exam scoring, take a third of a mark off for each wrong answer yourself.

Syllabus

Each ExamForge subject matches one CBT-2 section. General Awareness is the largest section, with 50 questions.

Mathematics

Arithmetic and more advanced topics than CBT-1, 35 questions.

  • Number system, HCF and LCM, simplification
  • Percentage, ratio, profit and loss, averages
  • Time and work, speed, time and distance
  • Simple and compound interest
  • Algebra, geometry, trigonometry and mensuration
  • Data interpretation and statistics
  • Practise Mathematics

General Intelligence and Reasoning

35 questions, from simple series to multi-step puzzles.

  • Blood relations, directions and ranking
  • Syllogism, Venn diagrams and statement-conclusion
  • Seating arrangement and puzzles
  • Non-verbal reasoning
  • Practise Reasoning

General Awareness

The largest section, so it often decides the cut-off.

  • Current affairs, sports, books and awards
  • Indian history and the national movement
  • Geography of India and the world
  • Indian polity and the Constitution
  • General science and everyday facts

Selection process

The stages depend on the post. Each has to be cleared before the next.

  1. CBT-1

    The screening paper that every candidate takes. Candidates are shortlisted for CBT-2 in order of merit.

  2. CBT-2

    The paper above, which decides merit for graduate-level posts.

  3. Skill or aptitude test

    Some posts need a typing skill test or a Computer Based Aptitude Test. These are qualifying for most posts.

  4. Document verification and medical

    Original certificates are checked and a medical examination confirms you meet the standard of the post you are offered.

How the final merit is decided

CBT-2 decides rank
The graduate-level merit list is drawn up on CBT-2 marks. CBT-1 only has to be qualified.
Choice of post
Posts are allotted by merit, the preferences you give and the medical standard you meet.

Preparation tips

  • Expect harder questions

    CBT-2 repeats the subjects of CBT-1 at a higher level, so time yourself on the Mathematics sets to keep up with 35 questions.

  • Win General Awareness

    It has 50 of the 120 questions. Revise current affairs a little every day rather than before the exam.

  • Answer with care

    A wrong answer costs a third of a correct one. Answer when you can rule out at least two options; otherwise leave it.

  • Review explanations

    After each set, read the explanation for every question you got wrong or guessed.

Common questions

What is the difference between CBT-1 and CBT-2?

Does ExamForge deduct marks for wrong answers?
