The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) releases the provisional answer key for the NTPC CBT‑1 graduate‑level exam today, July 1, 2025. Candidates who appeared between June 5 and June 24, 2025, can now log in to the official regional RRB portals or rrbcdg.gov.in using their registration number and date of birth to view and download the answer key and response sheet.
The answer key helps candidates match their answers and estimate their scores immediately. They can raise objections online until July 6, 2025, at 11:55 PM by paying ₹50 per question plus bank charges. Valid objections earn a refund after key finalisation. This step promotes transparency and fairness in evaluation.
The NTPC recruitment drive fills approximately 8,000–11,500 graduate‑level positions, including posts like Station Master, Junior Clerk‑cum‑Typist, and Accounts Clerk‑cum‑Typist. After the objection period closes, RRB finalises the answer key and prepares the results. Qualified candidates then move on to CBT‑2 and further stages.
