Syllabus of RRB Exams

Although there is no uniform or set pattern as far as the number of questions to be asked in different test papers is concerned but one thing is definite, i.e., coverage under each test paper. After carefully analyzing the question papers of several RRB examinations we come to the conclusion that there is a striking similarity in the syllabi and the standard of questions. Therefore, we may define the model syllabus for the exam broadly although not precisely and accurately. Ans, we are attempting to present a model syllabus for all the four test papers. Here it should be noted that the syllabus for the written examination will be generally in conformity with the educational standard prescribed for the post. For technical categories, the examination will be conducted in the allied branch/ branches of the concerned discipline of the appropriate standard. Written examination will be dispensed with if the number of eligible candidates is less than six times the number of vacancies at the discretion of Railway Recruitment Board.
