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

Week 1

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.

Week 2

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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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.
