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.

Q405.Summits & ConferencesMedium

Where and when will India Mining Week 2026 be held?

  1. A.Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, 15-17 October 2026
  2. B.Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, 15-17 November 2026
  3. C.Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, 15-17 December 2026
  4. D.Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, 15-17 November 2026
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, 15-17 November 2026

The venue and the three dates were both stated at the India Mining: Global Connect outreach meeting, where the Minister of State invited dignitaries to the opening on 15 November.

Q408.Science & TechnologyMedium

The MHI Industry Accelerator aimed to take supported technologies between which Technology Readiness Levels?

  1. A.TRL-1 to TRL-5
  2. B.TRL-2 to TRL-6
  3. C.TRL-3 to TRL-9
  4. D.TRL-5 to TRL-7
Show answer
Correct answer: C. TRL-3 to TRL-9

The objective of the grant-in-aid was to support the progression of ten technologies from Technology Readiness Level 3, an early stage where a concept has been proved in the laboratory, to Level 9, where a technology is proven in its operating environment and can be sold.

Q410.General ScienceAsked in: SSC CGL · 12 April 2022, Shift 2Hard

Which of the following elements is NOT suitable for the fabrication of a light emitting diode structure?

  1. A.Gallium phosphide
  2. B.Indium gallium nitride
  3. C.Germanium
  4. D.Gallium arsenide
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Germanium

Germanium is not used to build light emitting diodes because it is an indirect band gap semiconductor, so an electron falling back across the gap gives up most of its energy as heat in the crystal rather than as light.

Q411.General ScienceAsked in: SSC CGL · 18 Jul 2023, Shift 1Hard

Which of the following statements is NOT correct about surface tension?

  1. A.Surface tension is typically measured in dynes/cm.
  2. B.The shape of water drop is spherical due to surface tension.
  3. C.At room temperature, surface tension of water is less than ethyl alcohol.
  4. D.The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. At room temperature, surface tension of water is less than ethyl alcohol.

This is the statement that is not correct, because water has a much higher surface tension than ethyl alcohol.

Q413.General ScienceEasy

Which functional group is present in ethanoic acid?

  1. A.Hydroxyl, -OH
  2. B.Aldehyde, -CHO
  3. C.Carboxyl, -COOH
  4. D.Ketone, -CO-
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Carboxyl, -COOH

Ethanoic acid, better known as acetic acid and familiar as vinegar in dilute form, has the formula CH3COOH, and the -COOH group at the end is what makes it acidic, since it releases a hydrogen ion in water and turns blue litmus red.

Q414.General ScienceMedium

The hardening of vegetable oil into vanaspati by passing hydrogen over a nickel catalyst is an example of

  1. A.Substitution reaction
  2. B.Addition reaction
  3. C.Displacement reaction
  4. D.Neutralisation reaction
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Addition reaction

Vegetable oils contain unsaturated chains with carbon to carbon double bonds; hydrogen adds across those double bonds in the presence of nickel or palladium, turning them into single bonds, so the oil becomes saturated and sets into a solid fat.

Q415.General ScienceMedium

Two consecutive members of a homologous series differ by

  1. A.CH2 and 14 units of mass
  2. B.CH3 and 15 units of mass
  3. C.C2H4 and 28 units of mass
  4. D.CH4 and 16 units of mass
Show answer
Correct answer: A. CH2 and 14 units of mass

Going from methane to ethane, or from ethanol to propanol, adds one carbon atom of mass twelve and two hydrogen atoms of mass one each, which is fourteen in all, and it is this fixed step that defines a homologous series.

Q416.General ScienceMedium

Why does graphite conduct electricity while diamond does not?

  1. A.Graphite contains metal impurities
  2. B.Each carbon atom in graphite has one free electron
  3. C.Graphite is made of a different element
  4. D.Diamond has a lower melting point
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Each carbon atom in graphite has one free electron

In graphite every carbon atom is bonded to only three others within a layer, so the fourth valence electron of each atom is free to move along the layer, and moving electrons constitute an electric current.

Q418.General ScienceAsked in: RRB NTPC · 13 Jun, 2025, Shift 1Easy

A gas stove flame burns blue because of

  1. A.Complete combustion of fuel
  2. B.Presence of hydrogen in the air
  3. C.Hazardous combustion
  4. D.Insufficient oxygen
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Complete combustion of fuel

When enough air reaches the burner, every carbon atom of the fuel is oxidised fully to carbon dioxide and the flame is blue and hot, giving the maximum heat for the gas consumed.
