FAQs

Q: 10th pass hoon bina ITI ke, apply kar sakta hoon? A: Nahi. RRB ALP ke liye minimum 10th + ITI (2 years) ya Diploma in Engineering chahiye. Sirf 10th pass ke liye RRB Group D dekho.

Q: CBT 1 aur CBT 2 mein kya difference hai? A: CBT 1 screening round hai (75 questions, 60 min). CBT 2 main merit round hai (175 marks, 2.5 hours). CBT 1 clear karne pe hi CBT 2 de sakte ho.

Q: CBAT kya hota hai? A: Computer Based Aptitude Test - ye sirf ALP post ke liye hai, Technician ke liye nahi. Isme memory, concentration, speed jaise aptitude test hote hain.

Q: Negative marking kitni hai? A: 1/3 marks per wrong answer. Matlab 3 galat = 1 sahi ka marks kata. Guess mat karo!

Q: Bihar mein posting milegi? A: Zaroori nahi. RRB Patna sirf exam zone hai, posting kisi bhi railway division mein ho sakti hai.

Q: Kab tak notification aa sakta hai? A: Official date announce nahi hui. 2026 mein expected hai. Is page pe update aata rahega.
