Railway RRB Group D 2026 — Master Strategy & Topic Weightage

Compiled from 10-year official paper patterns and previous-year shift analysis. Review the exact topic weightage below to decide your attempt sequence and study focus.

🏆 The Topper 3-Step Execution Plan

1. General Science Dominance (25 Qs / 9th–10th NCERT)
General Science carries 25 marks. Physics numericals (Ohm's law, optics formula, motion equations), chemistry reactions (periodic table, pH, metals), and biology make up 25% of the paper. There is NO English section.
2. Strict 1/3rd Negative Penalty Defense
3 wrong questions erase 1 full mark (stricter than banking's 1/4th). Never guess without at least 50% elimination.
3. Generous 90-Minute Composite Window
With 90 minutes for 100 questions, you have 54 seconds per question. Solve Science (15 min) and GA (12 min) first, leaving over 60 minutes for Math and Reasoning.
