Exam pattern and marking
| Test | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 | 40 | 25 minutes |
| OA: Numerical Ability / Scale I: Quantitative Aptitude | 40 | 40 | 20 minutes |
| Total | 80 | 80 | 45 minutes |
Both preliminary tests must meet the prescribed cut-offs. Prelims are a screening stage; their marks do not form the final merit score.
| Test | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 | 50 | 30 minutes |
| Computer Knowledge | 40 | 20 | 15 minutes |
| General Awareness | 40 | 40 | 15 minutes |
| English Language OR Hindi Language | 40 | 40 | 30 minutes |
| OA: Numerical Ability / Scale I: Quantitative Aptitude | 40 | 50 | 30 minutes |
| Total | 200 | 200 | 120 minutes |
The wrong-answer penalty is one-quarter of the marks assigned to that question, not necessarily 0.25 marks in every section. Unanswered questions carry no penalty. Observe the separate test timings; the main examination’s 120 minutes is not freely interchangeable across tests. Scale II/III have separate single-examination structures.
Official reference: Examination structure and penalty clauses.
Selection process, result and cut-off
Office Assistant final merit uses the main examination; there is no interview for this cadre. Scale I uses the main examination followed by interview, with an 80:20 main/interview weight. The interview carries 100 marks and the stated qualifying minimum is 40%, or 35% for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates. Meeting a qualifying minimum is not the same as securing allotment.
Cut-offs vary with cadre, stage, state/category and vacancies. A previous-cycle cut-off is a historical benchmark, not the XV threshold. A reserve-list release for CRP RRBs XIV must not be labelled an XV result. Appointment remains subject to the participating bank’s eligibility, documents and service requirements.
Official reference: Interview and provisional-allotment provisions.
Cut-offs and provisional allotment
Compare only the same cadre, state/category and stage. Office Assistant merit is based on Main; Scale I also includes interview. Cut-offs cannot be calculated reliably from vacancy totals alone. Allotment remains conditional on eligibility and the participating bank’s checks.
