The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially released the revised schedule for the RRB Group D Exam 2025. The exam is now slated to take place from November 27, 2025, to January 16, 2026. This update follows the earlier timetable, which had scheduled the exam between November 17 and December 31, 2025, but was postponed due to administrative adjustments. Candidates who have applied for the Group D recruitment are advised to mark the new dates and plan their preparation accordingly.
The RRB Group D Exam 2025 will be conducted in a computer-based test (CBT) format. The exam will comprise 100 multiple-choice questions designed to evaluate candidates across four major sections: Mathematics, Reasoning, General Science, and General Awareness. Each candidate will have 90 minutes to complete the test. For candidates with disabilities who require the assistance of a scribe, the examination duration will be extended to 120 minutes, ensuring adequate time for completion.
A negative marking scheme has been implemented, with one-third of the marks deducted for every incorrect answer. Candidates are therefore advised to attempt questions carefully and manage their time effectively during the exam. The RRB emphasizes accuracy and encourages aspirants to practice previous year question papers and mock tests to build confidence.
Mathematics questions will assess basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data interpretation skills. The Reasoning section will test logical reasoning, analytical ability, and problem-solving capabilities. General Science will cover fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and biology, while the General Awareness section will focus on current events, history, geography, and general knowledge relevant to India and the world.
Candidates are advised to check the official RRB website regularly for updates on exam dates, admit cards, and other notifications. Admit cards will be released in advance, and candidates must carry valid identification along with the admit card to the exam center. Following COVID-19 safety protocols may also be necessary depending on local guidelines at the time of the exam.
Preparation strategies for aspirants include daily practice of reasoning and quantitative questions, staying updated on current affairs, and revising fundamental science concepts. Time management during practice sessions is essential to ensure that candidates can complete all sections within the allocated 90 minutes. Previous year question papers can also help in understanding the exam pattern and difficulty level.
In conclusion, the RRB Group D Exam 2025 is a crucial step for candidates aspiring to secure positions in the Indian Railways. With the revised schedule now available, candidates have clear timelines to plan their preparation effectively. Proper strategy, regular practice, and awareness of the exam pattern will enhance the chances of success in this competitive recruitment process.
