RRB NTPC UG Answer Key 2026 Expected Today; Objection Window Likely Till July 5

The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) are expected to release the RRB NTPC Undergraduate (UG) CBT-1 Answer Key 2026 on June 27, 2026, for candidates who appeared in the examination conducted under CEN 07/2025. However, the provisional answer key had not been released at the time of writing.

Once available, candidates will be able to access the provisional answer key, question paper, response sheet and recorded responses through the official RRB websites by logging in with their credentials.

The answer key will enable candidates to compare their recorded responses with the provisional answers and estimate their probable scores before the declaration of results.

The recruitment drive under CEN 07/2025 aims to fill 3,058 Undergraduate-level Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) vacancies.

Candidates applying for these posts were required to have passed Class 12 from a recognised board. The prescribed age limit was 18 to 30 years, with age relaxation applicable for reserved categories as per government norms.

The Computer-Based Test (CBT-1) consisted of 100 objective-type questions carrying 100 marks and was conducted over 90 minutes.

The paper included:

• General Awareness: 40 questions (40 marks)
• Mathematics: 30 questions (30 marks)
• General Intelligence and Reasoning: 30 questions (30 marks)

A negative marking of one-third mark was applicable for every incorrect response.
