RRB Technician Mock Tests, Syllabus & Complete Exam Guide

RRB Technician is the Railway Recruitment Boards' exam for the post of Technician on the Indian Railways — Technician Grade I Signal and Technician Grade III across various trades. These technicians maintain and operate the railway's signalling, electrical, mechanical, carriage-and-wagon and other technical systems, and it is a popular route into a secure technical career on the railways for candidates with a Class 10 plus ITI background.

The selection has two parts: a Computer Based Test (CBT), followed by Document Verification and a Medical Examination. The CBT covers Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Science and General Awareness & Current Affairs; for Technician Grade III it also carries a trade/basic-science section. Because the CBT has one-third negative marking and is speed-based, accuracy under time decides your CBT score, and the normalised CBT score decides final merit.

The CBT is set at Class 10 / ITI level, so it rewards speed and accuracy on familiar material rather than advanced study. Mathematics and Reasoning are the most scoreable — drill number system, percentage, ratio, interest, time-speed-work, mensuration, analogy, series, coding-decoding and direction sense until they are quick and automatic. General Science is high-return: revise Class-10 physics, chemistry and biology, plus everyday-science facts.

General Awareness & Current Affairs rewards steady study of railways GK, polity, geography, history and recent current affairs. Because every wrong answer costs one-third of a mark, disciplined attempting matters: solve what you know quickly and avoid blind guesses. Full-length timed mocks build the stamina and section balance the CBT demands, and after the CBT, keeping your documents and medical fitness in order prepares you for the later qualifying stages.
