Syllabus & pattern at a glance
RRB Group D has one written stage: a single Computer Based Test (CBT) with four sections. The Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification and medical examination that follow are qualifying and have no written syllabus.
CBT exam pattern
100 objective multiple-choice questions of 1 mark each in 90 minutes. The notification says the section-wise split below is only indicative and the actual paper may vary a little.
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| General Science | 25 | 25 |
| Mathematics | 25 | 25 |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | 30 | 30 |
| General Awareness & Current Affairs | 20 | 20 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |

Tap a section for the topics listed in the notification. The RRBs call this list illustrative and not necessarily exhaustive, so expect related questions too.
What the PET checks
There is no written syllabus after the CBT. Candidates called on CBT merit (three times the community-wise vacancies) take a two-part Physical Efficiency Test. It is qualifying and adds no marks.
| Test | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Lift & carry weight | 35 kg for 100 m in 2 min | 20 kg for 100 m in 2 min |
| 2 · Run | 1,000 m in 4 min 15 s | 1,000 m in 5 min 40 s |
How the 100 marks are split
By the indicative split, Reasoning has 30 questions, General Science and Mathematics 25 each, and General Awareness 20. Every section counts, so none can be skipped. These are some of the topics the notification names for each one.
