Candidates’ Protest Forces RRB To Suspend NTPC & Level 1 Exams 2021

New Delhi: Following protests from candidates, the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has called off RRB NTPC and Level 1 Exam 2021. The RRB NTPC CBT 2 exam was scheduled for February 15-February 19.

The candidates who had qualified in the CBT 1 exam became eligible to take the CBT 2 exams.

The exams have been suspended after protesting aspirants set a passenger train on fire and pelted stones on police in Bihar’s Arrah on Wednesday morning. The Railways had formed a committee to examine the grievances of the protesting candidates, reported news agency PTI.

Train services were hit in many places in Bihar on Tuesday after protesters squatted on the tracks opposing the RRB’s call to hold the exams in two parts. They said the second stage for final selection is tantamount to “cheating” those who appeared and cleared the first stage.

The RRB announced the first stage CBT result on January 15. This exam was conducted for the selection of Junior Clerk cum Typist, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Time Keeper, Trains Clerk, Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Traffic Assistant, Goods Guard, Senior Commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Senior Clerk cum Typist, Junior Account Assistant cum Typist, Senior Time Keeper, Commercial Apprentice and Station Master in various Zonal Railways and Production Units of Indian Railways.
