5. Important Points / Tips
- Because of normalization, raw scores might not directly translate to final “cutoff-qualified” scores — different shifts are adjusted. (Jagranjosh.com)
- Prepare well for all four sections, as the exam tests a broad range.
- Practice PET if you are unsure of the physical test requirements — clearing CBT is not enough; PET is mandatory.
- Keep checking your regional RRB website for city slip, admit card, and latest updates — they publish these individually.
