RPF SI is the Railway Recruitment Boards’ exam for Sub-Inspectors in the Railway Protection Force, the force that guards railway property, passengers and the railway network. The written paper is set at graduation level, and selection continues with physical tests and document verification.

ExamForge gives you 39 free, timed practice sets: 10 full-length mock tests of 97 to 120 questions, plus subject sets in General Awareness, Arithmetic and Reasoning. Every question is in English and Hindi with an explanation after you submit. Your first three sets need no signup.

The real paper deducts one-third of a mark for each wrong answer. ExamForge sets do not, so to rehearse exam scoring, take a third of a mark off for each wrong answer yourself.

  • Coding-decoding and mathematical operations
  • Blood relations, directions and ranking
  • Syllogism and Venn diagrams
  • Seating arrangement, calendar and clock
  • Practise Reasoning

Selection process

Each stage has to be cleared before the next.

  1. Computer-based test

    The 120-question paper above. Candidates who clear the qualifying marks are shortlisted for the physical tests.

  2. Physical Endurance Test and Physical Measurement Test

    PET and PMT are qualifying and carry no marks. Standards such as height and running time differ by gender and category, so check the notice.

  3. Document verification

    Your original certificates are checked against your application before the final list is released.

Preparation tips

  • Answer with care

    A wrong answer costs a third of a correct one. Answer when you can rule out at least two options; otherwise leave it.

  • Prepare General Awareness every day

    It has 50 of 120 questions. A little reading daily beats a rush before the exam.

  • Use the full mocks for timing

    The full mock tests are the length of the real paper. Practise finishing 120 questions in 90 minutes.

  • Plan fitness alongside study

    PET and PMT are qualifying, so start training for them early.
