RRB NTPC Admit Card 2019: Board gives RTI reply on date

New Delhi, Feb 05: The RRB NTPC Admit Card 2019 will be released soon. Once released the same would be available on the official website.

Candidates had to wait longer as the Railways is yet to float the tender to hire a new exam conducting authority. Board officials say that the dates are yet to be finalised. There is no further update and details of the exam conducting authority were not made known.

Although there is no official confirmation, there is a likelihood that the process may begin in March 2020. However, an RTI reply from the board said that the exam schedule has not been fixed as yet. The board in its reply said that the dates will be finalised soon and announced on the website.

There are various reasons that have led to the delay. Firstly there were a large number of applications. Second, it was the unavailability of good centres to conduct the exams. Third, the application process went on for a long time. Fourth, the centres were booked for the other RRB examinations.

Candidates feel that the board must keep them updated about the ongoing process.
This is a very important process for us and we want to ensure that everything goes on smoothly. The sheer number of candidates who have applied shows how big the process is. We want everything to go on properly and do not want any confusion, a Board official informed OneIndia.

The RRB received a total of 1,26,30,885 applications to fill up 35,208 vacancies. A large number of applications is what led to the delay in the release of the admit card and exam dates.

"It was indicated in the employment notice that the 1st stage computer-based test (CBT) is tentatively scheduled between June and September 2019. However, it has been postponed. The revised schedule will be published in the official websites of all RRBs later on," the notice from the Railway Recruitment Board said.
