RRB NTPC CBT 1 Minimum Qualifying Marks 2026
Separate from the cut off, the RRB also prescribes minimum qualifying marks that every candidate must individually achieve to be considered for shortlisting. These minimum qualifying marks are fixed in the official notification and apply uniformly across all zones. A candidate must first clear the minimum qualifying marks and must also meet or exceed the zone-specific cut off to advance to CBT 2.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) / EWS | 40% |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) / SC | 30% |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 25% |
These percentages are calculated on the total marks of the CBT 1 paper. Candidates from the Ex-Servicemen (ESM) category are also given additional relaxation as per government norms. Scoring above the minimum qualifying mark alone does not guarantee shortlisting the actual cut off is typically much higher, depending on competition.
