Railway RRB NTPC CBT 1 2026 — Master Strategy & Topic Weightage

📖 Open Full Textbook & Study Notes →

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. Dominant General Awareness (40–50 Qs)
General Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) and Indian Railways history make up over 50% of the paper. There is NO English section.
2. 90-Minute 100-Question Pacing
Spend 25 minutes on GA (40 Qs), leaving a generous 65 minutes for 30 Math and 30 Reasoning questions.
3. Avoid 1/3rd Negative Marking
Railway exams penalize 1/3rd mark for wrong answers (stricter than banking's 1/4th). Never guess without 50% elimination.

📊 Topic-Wise Previous Year Weightage & Attack Strategy

Work top-down inside each section. ① Must-Do topics form 60–70% of your passing score.

Weightage metrics updating after the latest exam cycle.

⏱️ Minute-by-Minute Hall Execution

Plan 10–25 min: General Awareness & Science (40 Qs) — bank 30+ solid marks.
Plan 225–55 min: Mathematics (30 Qs) — arithmetic, algebra, mensuration formulas.
Plan 355–85 min: General Intelligence & Reasoning (30 Qs) — puzzles, coding, series, syllogisms.
Plan 485–90 min: Final review of flagged calculation questions.

🎯 Cutoff-Beating Safe Target Bands

Target 1CBT-1 safe zone: 78–86 / 100 attempts with 90%+ accuracy.
Target 2General Science target: 22+ out of 25 questions correct.
Target 3Negative penalty alert: 3 wrong answers completely wipe out 1 correct answer.
