RRB Group D Current Affairs Quiz: 11 October 2026

The correct answer is 3,548. Indian Railways notified that many graduate-level posts in the Non-Technical Popular Categories through the Centralised Employment Notification issued by the Railway Recruitment Boards, covering four categories of posts across commercial services, train operations, accounts and administration. Option A is wrong because 2,750 is the number of posts in a single category, that of Goods Train Manager, which is the largest block within the total rather than the total itself. Options C and D are wrong because no such totals were notified; they are placed as plausible larger figures to test recall. The remaining posts in the notification are 371 for Senior Clerk Cum Typist, 300 for Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and 127 for Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor, and these four numbers add up to the notified total.

The correct answer is Chennai. The Prime Minister addressed a public function in Chennai, where completed works were opened and foundation stones laid for new ones, the whole set valued at thirteen thousand crore rupees, and where a further stretch of the Chennai Metro was dedicated to the public. Option A, Coimbatore, is wrong because no event of this kind was held there; the metro stretch belongs to the Chennai network. Option C, Madurai, is wrong for the same reason, as the city finds no mention in the address. Option D, Tiruchirappalli, is also wrong, since the venue named throughout the address is Chennai and the projects relate to that city and to Tamil Nadu more widely. The Prime Minister also visited the Brain Research Centre at IIT Madras on the same day, which again places the programme in Chennai rather than in any other city of the state.

The correct answer is Jayaprakash Narayan. The Prime Minister Office tribute issued on his birth anniversary refers to him throughout as Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, and in short as Loknayak JP, the word meaning leader of the people. The tribute says his appeal travelled across generations and that he persuaded people to see public life as a means of national renewal. Option B, Ram Manohar Lohia, is wrong because, although he too belonged to the socialist stream of Indian politics, the title in question and the anniversary being marked here are not his. Option C, Acharya Narendra Deva, is wrong for the same reason. Option D, Morarji Desai, is wrong because he is remembered in other terms and is not the leader named in this tribute. Candidates should attach the title Loknayak firmly to Jayaprakash Narayan, since it is asked in exactly this form.

The correct answer is Goods Train Manager, with 2,750 of the notified posts, which is by far the biggest block in this recruitment. Option A is wrong because Senior Clerk Cum Typist accounts for 371 posts, the second largest share but much smaller. Option B is wrong because Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist has 300 posts. Option C is wrong because Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor has only 127 posts, the smallest share, even though it carries the highest pay among the four at Pay Level 6. Candidates should learn the order of the four categories by number of posts, since the vacancy break-up is a favourite question: Goods Train Manager, then Senior Clerk Cum Typist, then Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist, and finally Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor.

The correct answer is VOC Port, Thoothukudi. The Prime Minister said the Union Government has recently decided to build this port into a world-class mega container and green energy hub with an investment of about seventeen thousand crore rupees, and that once the work is finished even ultra-large container vessels will be able to reach it, helping Tamil Nadu become a global hub of industry and transport. Option A, Ennore Port, is wrong because it is not the port named in the decision described. Option B, Karaikal Port, is wrong for the same reason and does not appear in the address at all. Option D, Chennai Port, is wrong because the only Chennai facility mentioned for modernisation is the Chennai Fishing Harbour, taken up for fishermen, and not the commercial port. Candidates should link the mega container and green energy hub plan specifically with Thoothukudi.

The correct answer is Nanaji Deshmukh. The Prime Minister paid homage to him on his birth anniversary, which falls on the same date as that of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan, and described him as an outstanding nation-builder who showed in thought and in action that genuine change starts at the grassroots. The tribute says his life brought political conviction together with constructive social work and that he devoted himself to rural development and to community participation, with a vision of a strong and self-reliant India. Option A, Vinoba Bhave, is wrong because, though associated with rural causes, he is not the leader remembered in this tribute. Option C, Jagjivan Ram, is wrong because his anniversary and his fields of work are different. Option D is wrong for the same reason, as no such name appears here.

The correct answer is Rs 35,400 a month, which is the initial basic pay for Chief Commercial Cum Ticket Supervisor at Pay Level 6 under the Seventh Central Pay Commission. Option B is wrong because Rs 29,200 a month at Pay Level 5 is the initial basic pay of the other three posts in this notification, namely Goods Train Manager, Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist and Senior Clerk Cum Typist. Options A and D are wrong because those entry pay figures belong to other levels of the pay matrix and were not notified for these posts. Allowances and service conditions apply as per the relevant rules. For the examination, link the post with the level and the pay: Level 6 with Rs 35,400 for the supervisor post, and Level 5 with Rs 29,200 for the rest.

The correct answer is 25. The Prime Minister said that in 2014 metro trains ran in only five cities of the country, whereas metro services are today operated in twenty-five cities, and that the network itself has grown from roughly two hundred fifty kilometres in that year to more than one thousand one hundred kilometres now. Option A, 15, is wrong because it understates the present spread of the network, which has gone well past that mark. Option B, 20, is wrong for the same reason; it is close to the figure but not the number given in the address. Option D, 30, is wrong because it overstates the position, and no such count was claimed. The expansion was cited to argue that urbanisation should be treated as an opportunity, with public transport as the element that decides how easily city residents, working families, students and senior citizens are able to travel.

The correct answer is the Emergency. The Prime Minister noted that the fearless voice of Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan during the Emergency was itself noteworthy, placing it alongside his concern for good governance and for reaching people at the margins of society. Option A, the Quit India Movement, is wrong in the context of this tribute, which does not cite that period even though the leader belonged to the generation that lived through it. Option C, the Bengal Partition, is wrong because that episode belongs to a much earlier phase of the national movement and is nowhere mentioned. Option D, the Non-Cooperation Movement, is wrong for the same reason. For revision, pair Jayaprakash Narayan with the Emergency and with the demand for good governance, and keep Nanaji Deshmukh paired with rural development, since questions on this date usually ask for that match.

The correct answer is 18 to 33 years as on 1 January 2027, with relaxation for eligible categories as prescribed in the rules. A candidate must also hold a degree of a recognised university or an equivalent qualification and meet the conditions laid down for the particular post. Options A, C and D are wrong because they alter either the band of years or the reference date, and both details must match the notification exactly. Selection runs through a first stage computer based test and a second stage computer based test, followed by document verification and medical examination as applicable. Applications opened on 8 October 2026 and close on 6 November 2026, with the fee payable up to 8 November 2026 and corrections allowed from 9 to 18 November 2026.

The correct answer is IIT Madras. Shortly before the public function in Chennai, the Prime Minister went to the Brain Research Centre at IIT Madras and said that research in this field could create many new opportunities in the field of public health. Option B, IISc Bengaluru, is wrong because the visit described took place in Chennai on the day of the project launch, not in Karnataka. Option C, AIIMS New Delhi, is wrong because no hospital visit figures in the programme, and the centre named is attached to a technology institute rather than to a medical institute. Option D, IIT Bombay, is wrong for the same geographical reason, since the Prime Minister was in Tamil Nadu through the day. He paired the visit with the dedication of a further stretch of the Chennai Metro to describe a country drawing on both science and modern infrastructure.
