What is the RRB JE exam?
RRB Junior Engineer is the Railway Recruitment Boards' recruitment exam for Group B/C technical posts in the Indian Railways — chiefly Junior Engineer, along with Junior Engineer (IT), Depot Material Superintendent (DMS) and Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant (CMA). It draws lakhs of diploma and degree engineers each cycle because it offers a stable, well-paid technical career across the railway zones.
Selection has three parts: a first computer-based test (CBT 1) that screens candidates, a second computer-based test (CBT 2) that adds a discipline-specific technical section, and Document Verification with a Medical Examination. CBT 1 is a 90-minute, 100-question paper across four sections — Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness and General Science — set at the 10+2 (science) level. Because CBT 1 carries one-third negative marking and is time-pressured, accuracy under the clock is what gets you through to CBT 2.
