RRB NTPC CBT 2 Dates Clash With UPPSC PCS Prelims, Candidates Demand Postponement

Candidates appearing in the RRB Non-Technical Popular Category (NTPC) exam 2022 have again sent a letter to the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) demanding a change of the examination date. The current NTPC commencement date for pay levels 3 and 5 is set for June 12. The purpose behind this demand is that the UPPSC PCS preliminary exam is also due to be held on the same date.

Students are anxious about taking two major exams on the same day. In this situation, questions have arisen about how they would prepare for both. What if the examination centre is at a distant location? Aspirants have not only sent a letter to RRB but also they have penned a note to the Chairman of RRB, Prayagraj.
