Frequently Asked Questions
Syllabus Overview for RRB JE CBT 2
The RRB JE CBT 2 is a highly competitive exam that tests both technical abilities and general awareness. The syllabus is broadly divided into two sections: General Awareness & Physics/Chemistry, and the Technical Abilities section which carries the maximum weightage. Candidates must focus heavily on their core engineering subjects (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, etc.) as specified in the CEN 05/2025 notification. Additionally, basics of Environment and Pollution Control, and basics of Computers and Applications are crucial topics that can boost your overall score. Understanding the weightage of each section is key to prioritizing your study schedule effectively during these final days.
Exam Pattern & Shift Details
The second stage Computer Based Test (CBT 2) is a 120-minute exam conducted across three shifts on 2 July 2026. Understanding the shift timings is essential for mental preparation. Shift 1 starts at 9:00 AM, Shift 2 at 12:45 PM, and Shift 3 at 4:30 PM. Candidates must report at least 1.5 hours before the exam start time. There is a negative marking of 1/3rd mark for each incorrect answer, making accuracy as important as speed. The exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions, with 100 questions dedicated to technical abilities and 50 questions covering general awareness, physics, chemistry, computers, and environment basics.
Preparation Tips & Strategy
- Focus on Core Engineering Subjects: Allocate 70% of your study time to your technical branch. Solve previous years’ RRB JE questions to understand the difficulty level and frequently asked concepts.
- Master General Awareness & Science: Do not ignore the non-technical section. Daily revision of current affairs, basic physics, and chemistry up to 10th standard can give you an edge over other candidates.
- Take Mock Tests: Practice online mock tests regularly to improve your time management. Since the exam is 120 minutes long, building stamina to stay focused is key.
- Analyze Your Mistakes: After every mock test, spend at least an hour analyzing incorrect answers and weak areas. Work on correcting conceptual errors immediately.
- Time Management: Learn to skip time-consuming questions during the actual exam and return to them later if time permits. Do not get stuck on a single question.
