RRB NTPC exam dates are yet to be decided.
New Delhi: RRB NTPC exam dates are yet to be decided. We have not finalized the exam conducting agency yet, told a railway official to NDTV. The onus of exams will be given to the new exam conducting agency, once it has been finalized. This was announced by the railways last year. Up until September 2019, the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) were the official exam conducting bodies of the railways. In September 2019 RRBs had announced that they are mulling over roping an external agency for conducting railway exams.
