RRB NTPC | Computer Based Test 1

RRB NTPC CBT 1: full-length mock test 2

A second full-length RRB NTPC CBT 1 paper: 100 original questions across General Awareness, Mathematics and General Intelligence and Reasoning, on one 90-minute clock with one third negative marking, exactly to the CBT 1 pattern.

Before you start

  • One clock runs for the whole paper. CBT 1 has no sectional timing, so you can move freely between the three sections.
  • This is a full-length paper: 100 questions in 90 minutes, split 40 in General Awareness, 30 in Mathematics and 30 in General Intelligence and Reasoning, exactly as the CBT 1 is set.
  • Every question carries one mark, and one third of a mark is deducted for a wrong answer. Unanswered questions carry no penalty.
  • No calculator is provided, exactly as in the real CBT 1.
  • Most successful candidates clear General Awareness first, since it carries the most questions and takes the least time per question.
