Railway Recruitment Boards — Level-1 Posts (Group D)
The Railway recruitment exam for Level-1 posts, open to Class 10 / ITI candidates.
RRB Group D is live on Kitabey for institutes — coaching centres can run RRB Group D-pattern tests for their students using their own questions or an uploaded PDF. Kitabey's own RRB Group D question bank is still being built, so self-serve practice and mock tests for students will open up as it grows.
RRB Group D recruits for Level-1 posts through a single computer-based test, followed by a Physical Efficiency Test, document verification and medical examination.

−1/3 for every incorrect answer
The General Science section is pitched at Class 10 level. NCERT Class 9–10 science books cover the ground — revise them chapter by chapter.
30 of 100 questions are reasoning. Regular practice of standard question types builds both speed and accuracy.
Each wrong answer costs a third of a mark. Avoid blind guesses, especially in the last few minutes.
The CBT is followed by a physical test. Build fitness in parallel instead of waiting for the result.
