After the results are released, candidates must achieve the minimum qualifying marks for their respective categories to move forward. The cutoff is 40% for Unreserved (UR) and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), while those in OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), SC, and ST categories must score at least 30%. Here’s where it often gets debated — some candidates argue these marks don’t level the playing field across regions. What’s your take on this?
Inside the RRB Group D Exam Pattern
The Computer-Based Test (CBT) will have a duration of 90 minutes and will feature 100 questions in total. Each correct answer earns 1 mark, but beware — one-third of a mark is deducted for every incorrect response. This negative marking system often triggers mixed reactions; some believe it keeps competition fair, while others feel it punishes risk-takers.
The questions will assess your knowledge across four key sections:
- Mathematics
- General Intelligence and Reasoning
- General Science
- General Awareness with Current Affairs
The recruitment drive under the RRB Group D category will fill crucial positions such as Track Maintainer Grade-IV, Assistant Pointsman, and various technical posts in departments like Electrical, Mechanical, and Signal & Telecommunication. These roles form the backbone of India’s rail network, ensuring smooth operations and passenger safety.
So, as the countdown to November 27 begins, the real question is — are you fully prepared to take on one of India’s toughest and most competitive government exams? Share your thoughts: do the new updates make the process smoother, or do they still leave candidates scrambling at the last minute?
