RRB NTPC Exam Guide: The Typing Component
CGLTyping is a typing-practice site, not a full exam-prep portal — this page focuses specifically on the typing requirement within RRB NTPC. For CBT syllabus, eligibility, vacancies and dates, always refer to the official RRB notification.
RRB NTPC (Non-Technical Popular Categories) is conducted by India's Railway Recruitment Boards to fill a wide range of non-technical posts across Indian Railways. Most NTPC posts don't involve typing at all — the typing skill test applies specifically to posts with "Typist" in the title, most notably Junior Clerk cum Typist under the Undergraduate category.

What the Typing Component Actually Tests
For posts that require it, NTPC's typing test is qualifying only — it doesn't add marks to your CBT score, but failing it removes you from contention for that specific post regardless of how well you scored on the written stages. The requirement generally sits close to CHSL's 35 WPM English / 30 WPM Hindi figures. For the complete breakdown — speed requirement, accuracy formula, mistake classification and a live mock test — see the dedicated RRB NTPC Typing Test page.
Who Actually Needs to Prepare for This
If your target post doesn't have "Typist" in the title, the typing stage likely doesn't apply to you — see What Is RRB NTPC? for the full Undergraduate vs. Graduate level breakdown and which posts typically carry a typing requirement. If it does apply to you, treat typing preparation as a parallel track alongside your CBT 1/CBT 2 study, not something to cram after the written stages clear.
How to Use This Site to Prepare
- Run the RRB NTPC Typing Test under exam-like conditions to get a realistic pass/fail read.
- See Syllabus, Exam Pattern & Selection Process for how the typing stage fits into the full CBT 1 → CBT 2 → typing → document verification sequence.
- Check Eligibility, Age Limit & Salary for general criteria, then confirm against your current notification.
- Follow the 4-week speed-building roadmap to build toward the typical 35 WPM target.
A note on scope: This page intentionally does not cover RRB NTPC's full CBT syllabus, vacancies, salary or exam dates — those change often and are best confirmed directly from the official RRB notification for your recruitment cycle. CGLTyping's focus is the typing component specifically.
