RRB NTPC CBT 1 mock test and practice, free
RRB NTPC is for posts open at Class 12 or at graduate level, depending on the post. Its CBT 1 is one 100 question, 90 minute paper on a computer, and a third of a mark is lost for every wrong answer. The posts are the Non Technical Popular Categories of the Railway Recruitment Boards.
Ten questions at a time, in the real CBT 1 pattern. Then the full paper on the clock.

The cutoff, in plain words
UR 75 to 80 of 100, normalized
How it screens: Category minimums, then a normalized rank
Category minimums: UR/EWS 40% · OBC 30% · SC 30% · ST 25%
CBT 1 is a screen. Merit comes from CBT 2. Cutoffs move with every year's paper and vacancies, and they differ by category and post. Read these as the level to beat, not a promise.

RRB NTPC questions people ask
Is RRB NTPC CBT 1 hard?
The clock and the marking make it hard: 54 seconds a question, and a third of a mark lost on every wrong one. Practise under time from the first day and the paper stops being a surprise.
Can I prepare without coaching?
For CBT 1, yes, if you practise the way the paper scores: questions every day under time, every mistake understood, full papers on the clock.
How much does negative marking hurt?
A right answer earns 1 mark and a wrong one costs a third of a mark, so three wrong answers erase one right one. Rule options out before you guess.
Are these actual RRB NTPC questions?
No. Every question is an original written to the RRB NTPC pattern and level, and Play To Prepare is not connected to the Railway Recruitment Boards.
What is the biggest mistake in RRB NTPC preparation?
Grinding maths shortcuts while ignoring General Awareness. GA is 40 of the 100 questions, the largest section by far, and every wrong answer still costs a third of a mark. The section people skip is the section that decides CBT 1.
