RRB NTPC GK Questions 2026

Static General Knowledge makes up the rest of the General Awareness section in RRB NTPC, and the notices name its topics: General Science and Life Science up to Class 10, History of India and the freedom struggle, Physical, Social and Economic Geography of India and the world, Indian Polity and Governance, Indian Economy, Art and Culture, Indian Literature, Monuments and Places, Flora and Fauna, Famous Personalities, the UN and other world organisations, environmental issues, Transport Systems in India, Important Government and Public Sector Organisations, Common Abbreviations, and Basics of Computers and Computer Applications. RRB frames these as short factual questions: the unit of a physical quantity, the year of a battle, the article of the Constitution, the river a city stands on, the full form of an abbreviation, the headquarters of an organisation. GK24's GK notes on this page cover each topic in English and Hindi, arranged the way the syllabus lists them, with the facts RRB tends to ask placed first. Work through one topic at a time, note the lists (national parks, dances, articles, schedules, awards), and pair each topic with its quiz on GK24 to check what has stayed with you.

RRB NTPC GK Questions with Answers

Q2585.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct ?

  1. A.Diamond is hard due to extended covalent bonding in it
  2. B.Fullerene is composed of five and six membered rings
  3. C.Diamond is a good conductor of electricity
  4. D.Graphite is used as a lubricant
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Diamond is a good conductor of electricity

This statement is false: diamond is an electrical insulator because it has no free electrons. In diamond, every carbon atom uses all four of its valence electrons to form strong covalent bonds with four other carbon atoms in a rigid three-dimensional network.

Q2587.Science & TechnologyMedium

Shrutlekh, demonstrated live by the Digital India BHASHINI Division at ETD-2026, performs which function?

  1. A.Digitising manuscripts and oral histories
  2. B.Real-time speech transcription with simultaneous translation
  3. C.Managing technical terminology across languages
  4. D.Collecting language contributions from citizens
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Real-time speech transcription with simultaneous translation

The live demonstration of Shrutlekh at the symposium showed speech being written down as it was spoken and translated at the same moment, a capability intended for lecture halls, research seminars, conferences and academic discussions.

Q2588.Science & TechnologyMedium

According to the figures presented at ETD-2026, how many Indian languages does BHASHINI support for text?

  1. A.22
  2. B.23
  3. C.36
  4. D.35
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 36

The figures placed before the symposium were that BHASHINI supports 36 Indian languages for text, 23 Indian languages for voice and 35 international languages, that it has recorded over 10 billion cumulative AI inferences, and that its website translation plugin works on more than 800 government websites.

Q2589.Science & TechnologyMedium

BHASHINI Pragati, the document translation workbench presented at ETD-2026, was developed for which body?

  1. A.Comptroller and Auditor General of India
  2. B.Election Commission of India
  3. C.NITI Aayog
  4. D.Reserve Bank of India
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Comptroller and Auditor General of India

BHASHINI Pragati is a document translation workbench that the Digital India BHASHINI Division built for the CAG, and it was put before the symposium as an example of translating structured documents, including files that run from 100 to 500 pages, with quality checks and data-security safeguards.

Q2590.Science & TechnologyEasy

The 29th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD-2026), where BHASHINI showed its multilingual AI tools, was hosted by which institution?

  1. A.IIT Bombay
  2. B.IIT Delhi
  3. C.IIT Kanpur
  4. D.IISc Bengaluru
Show answer
Correct answer: B. IIT Delhi

The 29th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations, shortened to ETD-2026, was held at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi from 23 to 25 October 2026, and the Digital India BHASHINI Division took part in it with a session on its multilingual artificial intelligence tools.

Q2593.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2023, GATMedium

What will happen if a collection of positive and negative charges are passed at a high speed through a magnetic field which is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charges ? (Assume that both kind of charges are NOT going to recombine)

  1. A.Both kind of charges will stop moving
  2. B.Positive charges and negative charges will separate out
  3. C.Positive charges will stop but negative charges will continue moving uninterrupted
  4. D.Both kind of charges will keep moving uninterrupted
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Positive charges and negative charges will separate out

A magnetic field pushes a moving charge sideways, and the push on a negative charge is opposite to that on a positive one, so the two kinds bend away from each other.

Q2598.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2018, GATMedium

Which one of the following statements about the refractive index of a material medium with respect to air is correct?

  1. A.It can be either positive or negative
  2. B.It can have zero value
  3. C.It is unity for all materials
  4. D.It is always greater than one
Show answer
Correct answer: D. It is always greater than one

Light travels fastest in vacuum and almost as fast in air, so in any material medium it moves more slowly than in air, and the ratio of the two speeds is greater than one.

Q2600.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATMedium

Which one of the following statements about the process of photosynthesis is correct ?

  1. A.Chemical energy is converted into light energy.
  2. B.Carbon dioxide is oxidised to form carbohydrate.
  3. C.Water molecule splits into hydrogen and oxygen.
  4. D.Light energy is directly used to split water.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Water molecule splits into hydrogen and oxygen.

In the light reaction of photosynthesis, water is broken up; its hydrogen is used to make food and its oxygen is given out.
