Topic-wise Weightage
Know exactly how many questions come from each topic — Maths, Reasoning, GA and Science — so you prioritize the right chapters.
📊
CBT 1 vs CBT 2 Difference
CBT 1 is shortlisting, CBT 2 is merit-based. The syllabus overlaps but difficulty and section weightage changes significantly.
🚀
No Sectional Cutoff
Unlike Banking, RRB has no sectional cutoff. Total score decides shortlisting — focus on your strongest section first.
No calculus, no matrices. Simplification, Percentage, Ratio, SI & CI, Time-Work, Speed-Distance dominate. 20 timed questions daily builds the speed needed to attempt all questions.
Analogy, Coding-Decoding, Series, Blood Relations, Syllogism — all are standard patterns. Error-free attempts in Reasoning can fetch 28–30/30 reliably with just 2 weeks of focused practice.
40 marks in NTPC CBT 1. Railways GK + Current Affairs (last 6 months) + basic Polity can fetch 30–35 marks without any calculation. 15 minutes daily is enough.
Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Class 10 level. 25–30 questions in ALP and Group D. NCERT Class 9–10 Science is the complete source — no need for any other book.
Only 15 questions in NTPC Graduate CBT 2. MS Office, Internet, Storage Devices, OS basics — can be covered in 3–4 hours. Do not skip; these are easy guaranteed marks.
CBT score alone won't clear Group D. PET is eliminatory. Male: 35 kg carry 100m + 1000m run. Start running from Day 1 alongside your CBT preparation — don't leave it for later.
Full-length CBT 1 mock tests for RRB NTPC, ALP, Group D and JE — with timer, auto-submit and detailed score analysis section-wise.
Actual shift-wise papers from 2016–2024 with detailed solutions. Best way to understand real exam difficulty and topic frequency.
Syllabus based on official RRB notifications (CEN 01/2025, CEN 06/2025, CEN 09/2025). Always verify with the official CEN notification on rrbapply.gov.in before your exam.
