This paper contains question based on General knowledge, basic engineering & other ralway relevant topics as to
test the knowledge of candidates, which they would acquire by general observation/reading without a specific study
or detailed knowledge of text books the paper thould alse contain questions on topics of national importancе,
achievements of Railway as also question which will test the awareness of candidates to development which are
taking place Some questions will be on basic of computer knowledge
