Before beginning the preparation, candidates should know the examination pattern.

- General Awareness - 40 marks
- Mathematics - 30 marks
- General Intelligence and Reasoning - 30 marks
Candidates should start their preparation section-wise and also try to solve previous years question papers that will not only help in understanding the paper pattern but also the questions that can be asked in the examination.
Aspirants should keep in mind that the examination will be held in CBT mode, therefore, strategize yourself before attempting the examination.
Railway Recruitment Board will select the aspirants on the basis of their merit in the first stage exam. Also, there will be a negative marking of 1/3 mark for each wrong answer.
Check minimum percentage marks for eligibility category-wise:
- For UR-40%,
