Always verify against the current notification at rrbapply.gov.in — post lists and CBTST applicability can differ between recruitment cycles.
RRB NTPC UG CBTST — Junior Clerk & Accounts Clerk
The exam platform is TCS iON — the same system used for SSC CHSL. However, RRB NTPC UG completely disables Backspace during the evaluation session, whereas SSC CHSL also disables it but at a higher speed bar (35 WPM English vs 30 WPM for RRB NTPC UG).
Hindi medium candidates must choose between KrutiDev 010 (Remington layout) and Mangal + Remington GAIL. Mangal Inscript is not available for RRB exams. Language and layout selection is made at the application stage and cannot be changed later.
PwBD Provision
Candidates with 40%+ permanent disability (Blindness/Low Vision, Cerebral Palsy, Loco Motor Disability) may apply for extended time or a full typing exemption with a valid medical certificate submitted during the application process. Speed requirements are otherwise identical across all categories — there is no category-based speed relaxation.
RRB NTPC UG vs SSC CHSL vs RRB GDCE
Key takeaway: SSC CHSL requires a higher speed (35/30 WPM) and is the only one of the three offering Mangal Inscript as a font option. A candidate who practices at SSC CHSL's pace will comfortably clear the RRB NTPC UG threshold of 30 WPM.
TypingWale Advantage
No-Backspace Practice Mode
TypingWale replicates the exact RRB rule — backspace is locked during practice. Build the correct muscle memory from Day 1, not habits you will need to unlearn before the exam.
Exact TCS iON Interface
Same timer position, passage display, font rendering, and layout as the real RRB NTPC portal. No interface surprises on exam day.
KrutiDev + GAIL Both Available
Practice on the exact layout you selected at application stage — KrutiDev 010 (Remington) or Mangal (Remington GAIL). Switch between them in a single click.
Railway Government-Language Passages
Administrative and railway content matching the actual RRB NTPC language register. Generic news or story text does not prepare you for the exam vocabulary.
Full / Half Mistake Analytics
See your exact full and half mistake breakdown, 5% buffer consumption, and net speed calculation — so you understand your result before exam day.

Common Mistakes
Avoid
- Practising with backspace enabled — RRB locks it completely. Forming the wrong habit now will cause panic on exam day when corrections are not possible.
- Stopping after every error — in RRB you cannot go back. Train yourself to maintain a steady pace and continue typing regardless of mistakes.
- Ignoring the 300-word minimum — typing slowly and finishing below this count means disqualification before the speed formula is even applied.
- Practising on general text — railway administrative language differs from everyday content. Exam passages require familiarity with government vocabulary.
- Delaying layout selection — the layout is locked at the application stage. Choose one immediately and begin dedicated practice.
Do
- Practise with backspace disabled from Day 1. TypingWale provides this exact mode — use it for every session.
- Prioritise accuracy above 90% first. The RRB error formula penalises each mistake heavily; slow and accurate outperforms fast and error-prone.
- Target 350–380 words in 10 minutes during practice so you have a comfortable buffer on exam day.
- Complete full 10-minute sessions daily. Stamina matters when you cannot pause, correct, or take breaks during evaluation.
- Study the error formula — understand your 5% buffer and track your full vs half mistake breakdown in analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions — UG
How much typing speed is required for RRB NTPC UG posts?
30 WPM net in English or 25 WPM net in Hindi, with a minimum of 300 words (English) or 250 words (Hindi) typed within 10 minutes.
Which posts among UG NTPC require the typing test?
Junior Clerk cum Typist and Accounts Clerk cum Typist. Trains Clerk and Commercial cum Ticket Clerk do not — always verify against the current notification.
Can I change my typing language selection at the examination centre?
No. The language selected on the RRB portal before the exam is final — no changes are permitted on exam day.
What is the warm-up duration for UG CBTST?
1 minute of warm-up (not evaluated), then a 30-second break, then the 10-minute evaluation that determines qualifying status.
How does the UG net speed calculation work?
Total Mistakes = Full + (Half ÷ 2). Final Count = Total Mistakes minus 5% of total words (min 0). Net Speed = (Total Words − Final Count × 10) ÷ 10 minutes. Full worked example on the hub page.
Can I retype the UG passage if I finish before 10 minutes?
Yes — restart immediately from the beginning. This is standard CBTST strategy and increases both gross word count and your 5% error buffer.
What is the passing criteria for PwBD candidates in RRB NTPC UG?
Candidates with 40%+ permanent disability may apply for extended time or a typing exemption with a valid medical certificate submitted during the application process. Check the current notification for exact terms.
How does RRB NTPC UG compare to SSC CHSL typing test?
SSC CHSL requires a higher net speed — 35 WPM English / 30 WPM Hindi — versus 30/25 WPM for RRB NTPC UG. Both disable Backspace. A candidate practicing at SSC CHSL pace will comfortably clear the RRB NTPC UG threshold.
Is the RRB NTPC UG typing test open to all candidates?
Yes — unlike RRB GDCE, which is restricted to existing RRC employees, the UG CBTST is open to all eligible 12th-pass candidates who clear CBT-1 and CBT-2 for typing-required posts.
Which Hindi font should I select for the UG CBTST?
Both KrutiDev 010 and Mangal Remington GAIL are officially permitted. Mangal runs on the Remington GAIL layout at the centre, not Inscript. See the hub page font alert before choosing.
