RRB JE CBT 2 Civil study plan
RRB JE CBT 2 Civil · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Civil Engineering core technical subject
Build a one-page formula sheet for strength of materials covering stress, strain, bending moment, shear force, and deflection of simply supported and cantilever beams.
Solve 30 numerical problems on shear force and bending moment diagrams, drawing the diagram for each before checking the answer.
Recite and apply the standard mix design steps and water-cement ratio limits for concrete grades M20 to M40 from memory.
Tabulate the properties of common construction materials (steel, brick, timber, cement) that appear in objective questions, such as density, permissible stress, and standard test values.
Your checkpoint
A dated formula sheet plus a solved-problem log of 30 shear force and bending moment questions with error notes.
Civil Engineering core technical subject
Work through 25 numericals on fluid properties, pressure measurement, and Bernoulli's theorem with unit conversions shown at each step.
Derive and memorize the Manning and Chezy equations and apply them to 10 open-channel flow problems.
Classify surveying instruments and methods, then solve 15 problems on leveling, contouring, and theodolite angle calculations.
List the IS-code limits for slump, compaction factor, and curing duration, and self-test on them twice during the week.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question mixed self-test on fluids and surveying, scored and reviewed with every wrong answer rewritten correctly.
Civil Engineering core technical subject
Solve 20 problems each on singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam design using the working stress and limit state methods.
Compute steel quantities and bar bending schedules for a two-way slab and a short column from given data.
Explain the classification of soils, Atterberg limits, and compaction tests, and solve 15 soil mechanics numericals.
Draw and label typical cross-sections of road pavement, railway track, and a masonry dam, and state the design criteria for each.
Your checkpoint
A set of 4 hand-drawn structural and infrastructure cross-sections with annotated design criteria, plus 40 solved design numericals.
Civil Engineering core technical subject
Complete a timed 60-question mock test drawn only from Domain 1 and score it against the actual marking scheme.
Re-solve every incorrect question from the mock without notes and record the concept gap behind each error.
Revise the weakest three Civil subtopics identified in the mock by reworking their formula sheet entries and doing 10 fresh problems each.
Memorize standard values and constants (unit weights, modular ratio, permissible limits) using spaced-repetition cards reviewed daily.
Your checkpoint
A scored 60-question Civil mock with an error-analysis sheet listing each mistake, its cause, and the corrective action taken.
General Awareness & Physics and Chemistry
Compile a one-page timeline of Indian constitutional milestones, amendments, and panchayati raj provisions, and recall it from memory twice.
Summarize key Indian geography facts (rivers, dams, minerals, national parks) into a 50-point list and self-quiz on it.
Write down and memorize the SI units, laws of motion, work-energy relations, and basic electricity formulas used in objective physics.
Prepare a table of common chemical reactions, acids and bases, pH values, and everyday compounds, and test recall with 30 one-line questions.
Your checkpoint
A two-page General Awareness and Science cheat sheet plus a 40-question self-quiz scored at 80 percent or above.
Basics of Computers and Applications & Basics of Environment and Pollution Control & Technical Abilities (trade-related aptitude)
Practice 30 questions on computer fundamentals covering hardware, memory units, number systems, and operating system basics.
Demonstrate proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by producing a formatted report, a formula-based spreadsheet, and a five-slide presentation.
Explain the causes, effects, and control measures of air, water, noise, and soil pollution, and list the major environmental acts and standards.
Solve 25 trade-related aptitude questions on measurement, tools, drawing interpretation, and workplace safety.
Your checkpoint
A saved folder containing one Word report, one Excel sheet with at least five formulas, and one PowerPoint file, plus a scored 30-question computer and environment quiz.
Civil Engineering core technical subject & Basics of Computers and Applications
Take two full-length timed mock tests covering all six domains and record sectional time and accuracy for each.
Revisit high-weight Civil topics flagged in both mocks and solve 15 targeted numericals per weak area.
Speed-drill 50 computer and technical-ability questions under a strict one-minute-per-question limit.
Build a personal revision list of the 40 facts most often missed across all mocks.
Your checkpoint
Two completed full-length mocks with a sectional accuracy table and a prioritized list of the 40 most-missed facts.
Civil Engineering core technical subject & General Awareness & Physics and Chemistry & Basics of Computers and Applications & Basics of Environment and Pollution Control & Technical Abilities (trade-related aptitude)
Revise the formula sheet, cheat sheets, and 40-fact list once daily using active recall rather than rereading.
Take one final full-length mock in exam conditions and target 70 percent or above overall.
Re-derive the ten most error-prone Civil formulas from scratch to confirm retention.
Finalize exam-day logistics, including admit card, identity proof, reporting time, and permitted items.
Your checkpoint
A final mock scorecard at or above 70 percent plus a completed exam-day checklist.
Milestones
Week 4: Score at least 55 percent on the timed 60-question Civil-only mock and show a written error analysis for every incorrect answer.
Week 6: Score at least 70 percent on the combined General Awareness, Science, Computer, Environment, and Technical Ability quiz and submit the three MS Office files.
Week 8: Score at least 70 percent overall on a full-length mock under exam conditions, with no domain below 50 percent.
