Shishya's practice papers
Two full papers of 100 questions in 90 minutes, in the official sections and counts (Mathematics 30, General Intelligence & Reasoning 25, General Awareness 15, General Science 30). The questions are Shishya's own practice questions — drafted with AI, then read and answer-checked in review — not questions from any past RRB JE paper. The subject tests and topic quizzes on this page use the same questions.
- These papers are CBT-I only. CBT-II (150 questions: General Awareness, Physics & Chemistry, Computers, Environment and 100 technical questions of your exam group) is not included.
- General awareness here is static (history, geography, polity, economy, science, sports). There are no current-affairs questions, because those go out of date; read the news for that part.
- The notice calls the section split 'only indicative'; the papers use it as printed.

News & timeline

The first-stage CBT for JE/DMS/CMA under CEN 04/2026 was scheduled for 27 and 28 October 2026 in three shifts. Coaching portals expect the response sheet and key in early November, but I found no official RRB notice announcing it yet.
Exam city and date intimation links went live ahead of the 27–28 October CBT-I, and e-call letters were to follow about 4 days before each candidate's exam date. Candidates should check their own city, date and shift on their regional RRB site.
Application status links were reported live around 7 October 2026, after the 16–25 September correction window closed. This was reported by secondary portals, and I could not locate the notice on the RRB site.
A notice dated 16 September 2026 put CBT-I under CEN 04/2026 at 27, 28 and 30 October (tentative), with the final date and shift shown in each candidate's city intimation. Other portals list only 27–28 October, so candidates should rely on their individual intimation slip.
