It seems the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) is finally getting ready to declare the results of its Non-Technical Popular Category (NTPC) stage 2 (CBT) examination 2016, and it may happen in the next few days if reports are anything to go by.

It was earlier reported that the results of the RRB NTPC stage 2 Computer Based Test (CBT) that was conducted from January 17 to 19 would be announced on March 15 but it didn't happen. A source from Indian Railways later let the cat out of the bag by revealing that results of the said exam would be released in April and not in March as reported by several media houses.

More than 54 lakh candidates appeared for the stage 1 exam but only 2,73,780 candidates qualified the stage. A total of 18,252 posts will filled through this recruitment. Selected candidates will be recruited to several posts -- Commercial Apprentice (CA) - 703, Traffic Apprentice (TA) - 1645, Enquiry-cum-Reservation Clerk (ECRC) - 127, Goods Guard - 7591, Senior Clerk-cum-Typist - 869, Junior Accounts Assistant-cum-Typist (JAA) - 1205, Assistant Station Master (ASM) - 5942, Traffic Assistant – 166, and Senior Time Keeper – 4.
