As per the official notification, RRB NTPC examinations were tentatively to be conducted in August/ September. Sources had recently shared that RRBs would be conducting the RRB NTPC examination once the other on-going CBT examinations are complete.

Recently RRBs released the RRB JE 2018 results for the first stage CBT. The second stage CBT examination for RRB JE is scheduled for last week of August and first week of September. The results for the RRB Paramedical Categories is also awaited.

Many are of the opinion that the RRB NTPC Exam 2019 may begin as late as November. These are, however, merely speculation and the RRBs have not confirmed nor denied these claims by various experts. Last time RRB NTPC recruitment was conducted was in the year 2013. The process of recruitment was finally completed in 2018.

Experts point out that RRB NTPC usually has a massive turnout. In 2013, Indian Railways had received a record 86 lakh applications for the twenty six thousand odd vacancies. This year, the number of applications are expected to have cross the RRB Group D 2018 applications, which were about 1.46 crore.
