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

Q381.Computer AwarenessEasy

Which translator converts a high-level program into machine language one statement at a time?

  1. A.Compiler
  2. B.Interpreter
  3. C.Assembler
  4. D.Loader
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Interpreter

An interpreter reads one statement of the source program, translates it and executes it immediately before moving to the next, so it stops at the first error it meets and tells the programmer about that error alone; this makes it convenient for learning and for testing small pieces of code…

Q382.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 30 Aug 2019Medium

What is the use of the 'javac' command?

  1. A.Execute a java program
  2. B.Debug a java program
  3. C.Interpret a java program
  4. D.Compile a java program
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Compile a java program

The command javac is the Java compiler: it takes a source file with the extension.java, checks its grammar and converts it into a class file containing bytecode, the intermediate code that any Java Virtual Machine can run.

Q383.Computer AwarenessEasy

The C programming language was developed by:

  1. A.James Gosling
  2. B.Bjarne Stroustrup
  3. C.Dennis Ritchie
  4. D.Guido van Rossum
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Dennis Ritchie

He created C at Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s and used it to rewrite the UNIX operating system, which is why C is called the mother of system programming languages and still underlies most operating systems.

Q386.Science & TechnologyMedium

The Chenab bridge, the highest railway arch bridge in the world, lies on which rail link?

  1. A.Udhampur, Srinagar and Baramulla rail link
  2. B.Konkan Railway
  3. C.Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor
  4. D.Rishikesh to Karnaprayag line
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Udhampur, Srinagar and Baramulla rail link

The Chenab bridge on that link stands about 359 metres above the bed of the river, higher than the Eiffel Tower, and is built as a steel arch to span the deep gorge in an earthquake prone and wind swept setting.

Q387.Science & TechnologyMedium

Which was the first Indian train to run at a speed of 160 kilometres an hour, introduced in 2016?

  1. A.Gatimaan Express
  2. B.Shatabdi Express
  3. C.Tejas Express
  4. D.Rajdhani Express
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Gatimaan Express

The correct answer is A, Gatimaan Express, which began running in 2016 between Delhi and Agra and became India's first semi-high-speed train at 160 kilometres an hour, a speed the Agra route could take because of its straight alignment and fenced sections.

Q388.Science & TechnologyMedium

Which organisation is executing the Mumbai to Ahmedabad High Speed Rail project?

  1. A.Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India
  2. B.National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited
  3. C.Rail Vikas Nigam Limited
  4. D.Indian Railway Construction International Limited
Show answer
Correct answer: B. National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited

The correct answer is B, the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited, a company set up specifically to build and later operate high-speed rail in India, with the Union Government and the Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra as shareholders.

Q390.Science & TechnologyMedium

What distinguishes a Vande Bharat train set from a conventional passenger train?

  1. A.It is hauled by a diesel locomotive
  2. B.It uses distributed traction and has no separate locomotive
  3. C.It runs on metre gauge track
  4. D.It is hauled by two locomotives, one at each end
Show answer
Correct answer: B. It uses distributed traction and has no separate locomotive

A Vande Bharat rake is a self-propelled electric multiple unit: the traction motors and control equipment are slung under the coaches themselves, so power is spread along the length of the train instead of being concentrated in one vehicle.

Q393.Science & TechnologyHard

Which of the following accidents can Kavach NOT prevent?

  1. A.A train passing a signal at danger
  2. B.A head-on collision between two locomotives fitted with the system
  3. C.A derailment caused by a fractured rail
  4. D.Overspeeding on a curve with a speed restriction
Show answer
Correct answer: C. A derailment caused by a fractured rail

Kavach works on the movement of trains: it reads the position and speed of a locomotive from trackside tags, compares that with the signal and the permitted speed, and brakes the train when the driver does not.

Q395.Science & TechnologyMedium

Which organisation of Indian Railways developed the Kavach system?

  1. A.Research Designs and Standards Organisation
  2. B.Centre for Railway Information Systems
  3. C.Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation
  4. D.Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Research Designs and Standards Organisation

It is the research, design and standards wing of Indian Railways, has its headquarters at Lucknow, and developed Kavach in partnership with Indian manufacturers, first under the name Train Collision Avoidance System.

  4. D.A mobile application for tracking freight
Show answer
Correct answer: A. An Automatic Train Protection system

Kavach is an electronic safety system that acts on a moving train when its driver does not: it applies the brakes if a signal at danger is being approached without braking, holds a train back from passing a red signal, and keeps two locomotives fitted with the system from closing…
