RPF Constable Free Mock Test

RPF Constable is the entry-level uniformed post in the Railway Protection Force, the armed security force responsible for protecting railway property, passengers and freight under the Railway Protection Force Act, 1957. Selected constables are deployed across India's 18 railway zones at stations, in trains, parcel offices, and dedicated RPF posts.

RPF and the Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF) together form one of India's largest armed police forces. Constables work closely with state Government Railway Police (GRP) but report up through the Ministry of Railways, not the home ministry. New recruits undergo about 9-12 months of training at the RPF Training Academy in Lucknow (Jagjivan Ram Centre) plus regional training schools before deployment.

Selection runs through a three-stage process — (i) Computer-Based Test (CBT), (ii) Physical Efficiency Test (PET) & Physical Measurement Test (PMT), and (iii) Document Verification (DV). The CBT is the only merit-deciding stage; PET and PMT are qualifying. Failing any qualifying stage disqualifies you regardless of CBT marks. A Medical Examination follows after DV as a post-DV appointment-fitness check (not a selection or merit stage) to confirm the candidate meets the required medical standard before appointment.

Who the exam suits: candidates who have finished Class 10, are within the age band, and can combine a study routine with regular physical training. The CBT is set at matriculation level in three sections — General Awareness, Arithmetic and Reasoning — so it rewards steady revision of a known syllabus rather than advanced study. The work itself is shift-based, uniformed and mobile: escorting trains, guarding stations, yards and parcel offices, handling passenger complaints and theft cases, and coordinating with the Government Railway Police, so the recruitment tests fitness and measurements as seriously as it tests marks.

How to use this page: the sections below give the eligibility conditions as the notification states them, the stage-by-stage pattern with marks and timings, the syllabus for each CBT section, a preparation plan that runs the written and physical work together, and the important dates for the current cycle. Read the pattern and the PET standards first, because the most common failure in this recruitment is not the CBT but a candidate who applied without checking that their height, chest expansion or run timing met the notified standard; then work through the syllabus section by section with the weightage the pattern gives each one.
