Selection Process
The selection process for the RRB Technician recruitment involves a Computer Based Test (CBT) followed by Document Verification and a Medical Examination. The CBT assesses candidates on technical knowledge and general aptitude. After the objection window, experts review challenges to finalize the answer key. Subsequently, the board publishes the final result and category-wise cut-off marks. Shortlisted candidates are then called for document verification and medical fitness tests to ensure they meet the required standards for the specific trade.
Exam Pattern
The exam consists of objective-type questions. Each correct answer is awarded +1 mark, while each incorrect answer incurs a penalty of -1/3 mark. Unattempted questions receive zero marks. Normalization is applied to account for variations in difficulty across different exam shifts.
Application Fee
Details regarding the application fee were part of the initial recruitment phase and are not applicable to the answer key stage. Candidates should refer to the original notification for historical fee structures.
