RRB NTPC study plan: a daily routine for the CBT

RRB NTPC — common questions
How many hours a day should I study for RRB NTPC?
Pick hours you can keep up every day. The plan works from 1 to 12 hours a day and keeps revision time fixed, so a short day still moves you forward.
Which subject needs the most time?
Usually the one you score lowest in on a mock. The plan rotates all three subjects and gives General Awareness a short daily slot, because it is easier to remember in small doses.
How many mock tests should I take before the exam?
Take a full timed mock at least once a week, and more often in the last month. Spend time after each one on the questions you got wrong.
Can I make mock tests from my own notes?
Yes. In the Aspirant Pro app you can photograph a chapter or pick a PDF and get a timed practice test built from it, with optional negative marking and a chapter-wise score. AI mock tests need sign-in and a paid plan — see Pricing.
Is this study plan free?
Yes. The plan is made inside your browser — no sign-up, and nothing you enter is saved or sent. Planning, reminders, focus timer and streaks in the app are free too.
