NCRTC Supervisor (Operations) 2026 selection process stages
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. CBT | 100 questions, 100 marks, 90 minutes, in Hindi or English |
| 2. Medical fitness test | NCRTC tests candidates who pass the CBT against the A-3 or B-1 standard |
| 3. Verification | NCRTC checks original documents on the date of the medical examination |

|---|---|---|
| UR, OBC (NCL), EWS | 60% | 60 |
| SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen | 50% | 50 |
Qualifying marks do not confer any right to shortlisting or final selection. The result depends on the number of positions, the ratio that NCRTC applies, and the relative performance in each category.
A reserved category candidate who applies against an unreserved post gets no lower qualifying marks. NCRTC also keeps the right to fix the minimum standard for any post.

How does the admit card reach candidates?
