RRB JE CBT 1 Exam Pattern and Score Calculation
CBT 1 had 100 objective questions for 100 marks, with 90 minutes allowed (120 minutes for scribe-eligible candidates). One-third mark is deducted for each wrong answer; unanswered questions carry no penalty.
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| Mathematics | 30 |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 25 |
| General Awareness | 15 |
| General Science | 30 |
| Total | 100 |
Expected score = Correct answers − (Wrong answers ÷ 3). For example, 72 correct and 15 wrong gives 72 − 5 = 67 raw marks. Final marks are normalised across shifts.
What to Do Next
After reviewing objections, the RRBs will publish the final key and the CBT 1 result. Shortlisted candidates move to CBT 2, so start revising your technical subjects now. For more railway and government exam updates, visit our Sarkari Result section.
