RRB NTPC Result 2025: what actually releases
When the RRB NTPC Result goes live, three things usually appear together:
- Merit list PDF
A region-wise list of roll numbers shortlisted for the next stage. This document does not show marks; it only confirms whether you move ahead. - NTPC scorecard PDF
Your individual marks after normalisation, plus basic details like name, roll number, and qualifying status. You download it from your applied region portal using login credentials. - Region-wise cut-off
Category-wise minimum scores that secure shortlisting for CBT-2. Cut-offs differ by region, level, and category based on vacancies and exam difficulty.
How to check the RRB NTPC Result (no links required)

Understanding normalisation and cut-off
Normalisation removes the advantage or disadvantage of easier or tougher shifts by adjusting raw marks to a common scale. Your position for CBT-2 depends on these normalised marks and the cut-off in your category for your region.
What to compare
- Compare your normalised score (on the scorecard) with the category cut-off released by your region.
- If your score equals or exceeds the cut-off, you appear in the merit list and prepare for CBT-2.
What influences cut-off
- Number of vacancies in your region and level
- Difficulty of the paper across shifts
- Category reservations and candidate turnout
Region-wise process: check only your applied RRB
RRB results publish region by region. Always check the same RRB you selected while applying. Common regions include Ahmedabad, Ajmer, Allahabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Bilaspur, Chandigarh, Chennai, Gorakhpur, Guwahati, Jammu, Kolkata, Malda, Mumbai, Muzaffarpur, Patna, Ranchi, Secunderabad, Siliguri, and Thiruvananthapuram. If you applied under a specific region, its portal remains your single source for the merit list, scorecard, and cut-off.
Scorecard PDF: what it shows
- Candidate name and roll number
- Normalised marks (and sometimes section-wise scores)
- Qualifying status for the next stage
- Exam date and shift details
If you notice an error in your name, category, or other details, keep screenshots and your application data ready for any clarification with the concerned region office.
