RRB JE GK Questions 2026

Static GK makes up most of the General Awareness syllabus of RRB JE, and General Science adds a larger block of its own. CEN 04/2026 lists Indian geography, the culture and history of India including the freedom struggle, Indian Polity and Constitution, the Indian Economy and environmental issues concerning India and the world. In CBT-1 these share 15 questions with current affairs, while General Science, which the CEN defines as Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences up to the 10th Standard CBSE syllabus, has 30 questions of its own. CBT-2 repeats the General Awareness syllabus in 15 questions and adds 15 on Physics and Chemistry, 10 on Basics of Computers and Applications and 10 on Basics of Environment and Pollution Control. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for RRB JE: Polity, History, Geography, the Economy, Art and Culture, Environment and Ecology, General Science and Computer basics. Each note is a set of short facts and tables in English and Hindi that can be revised in one sitting. Read one topic, solve its quiz and previous-year questions, and return to it a week later. With 15 General Awareness questions spread over eight areas, breadth matters more than depth, while General Science rewards thorough revision of Class 10 concepts.

RRB JE GK Questions with Answers

Q4.EnvironmentHard

Which of the following correctly describes an off-stream closed-loop pumped storage scheme?

  1. A.Both reservoirs lie on a river, stream or nallah
  2. B.One reservoir lies on a watercourse and the other does not

  4. D.Both reservoirs are built inside an existing irrigation canal
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Neither reservoir lies on a river or perennial stream

Pumped storage schemes are grouped by how their reservoirs relate to natural watercourses, and the closed-loop variety keeps both reservoirs away from them.

Q10.Science & TechnologyMedium

Infrared Focal Plane Arrays developed by DRDO perform which function in a tactical missile?

  1. A.They provide thrust in the boost phase
  2. B.They encrypt the data link to the launch platform
  3. C.They act as sensing elements for detecting and tracking the target
  4. D.They generate electrical power for onboard systems
Show answer
