After much wait and anticipation, the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) announced the revised CBT 1 result for NTPC Recruitment 2019. Results have been announced through the online mode, on the official website rrbcdg.gov.in, and hosted on regional websites. Results for the computer-based test (CBT) 1 were initially, announced in January 2022. However, after identifying inaccuracies and mistakes in the results, candidates organized a nationwide protest. Acknowledging the demand for revising the result or conducting another CBT, the government decided on choosing the former.
