CBTST Preparation Tips
Candidates appearing for the CBTST should use the remaining preparation time carefully.
Practice on a Computer
Typing practice should be done on a physical keyboard rather than relying only on mobile typing. Candidates should become comfortable with the keyboard layout and maintain a steady typing rhythm.
Focus on Accuracy
Speed matters in a typing skill test, but unnecessary mistakes can reduce the overall performance. Regular practice with accuracy targets can help candidates develop better control.
Practice Under Time Pressure
Candidates should take timed typing tests so that they become familiar with completing the required task within the allotted period.
Avoid Last-Minute Overpractice
The day before the test should be used for light practice and revision rather than exhausting typing sessions. Adequate rest can help maintain concentration during the examination.
Documents Required for CBTST
Candidates should check the instructions printed on their admit card and keep the required documents ready.
Generally, candidates should carry:
-
Printed CBTST Admit Card
-
Valid photo identity proof
-
Recent photograph, if specifically required
-
Other documents mentioned in the examination instructions
The name and details on the identity document should match the candidate information wherever applicable.
Selection Process
The RRB NTPC Graduate Level recruitment selection process includes multiple stages depending on the post:
-
Computer Based Test (CBT-I)
-
Computer Based Test (CBT-II)
-
Skill Test / Typing Test / Aptitude Test, as applicable
-
Document Verification
-
Medical Examination
The CBTST is therefore not the first examination stage. It comes after CBT-I and CBT-II for candidates shortlisted for posts requiring the relevant skill assessment.
What After CBTST?
Candidates who appear in the CBTST should wait for the next recruitment update. The subsequent stages can include document verification and medical examination, depending on the post and the candidate's qualification in the relevant stage.
The final selection process is based on the applicable recruitment rules and the candidate's performance across the required stages.
