Disclaimer:

·         My advice is to read and cover the entire syllabus irrespective of important or not so important.  

·         Subsequently give more preference to important ones because they are repeatedly asked in the previous examinations and for the importance they have in association with the working of Indian Railways as well  

·         This is a list of suggested / recommended questions. Questions from this may or may not appear in the exam. The responsibility of the author guaranteeing the appearance of the same questions in the exam is ruled out.

·         This is not an exhaustive one. Additions and Deletions is a continuous exercise.  

·         Please WhatsApp me (9492432160) for ARD – Additions, Revisions & Deletions to this List of Questions.

·          All the Best
