Later 69 vacancies available with DLW were cancelled and 66 vacancies were included for Visually Impaired candidates. As for the selection process, there has been no word from Indian railway about when the computer-based test (CBT) will be held.
The last update on this recruitment was released in October 2019 when the Indian Railway notified that CBT for NTPC posts has been postponed and revised schedule will be published on the RRB websites later. Since then there has been no further update on RRB NTPC recruitment.

Third major recruitment announced by Indian railway last year was for Ministerial and Isolated category posts. RRBs had announced total 1,665 posts. Of these, 2 vacancies available with DLW were withdrawn later. Indian Railway has not yet announced the test date for this recruitment. The latest update available on the official website was in June last year when RRBs released the syllabus for the exam for Junior Translator (Hindi).

Indian Railway announced 1,03,769 Group D or Level 1 vacancies. It was the largest recruitment announced last year and justifiably received millions of applications. The application status (accepted or rejected) was released on the official RRB websites on July 24.
