RRB Radiographer study guide
RRB Radiographer · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The RRB Radiographer post is a paramedical appointment in Indian Railways, filled through a computer-based test conducted by the Railway Recruitment Board against a live Centralised Employment Notification (CEN). It suits candidates who hold a Diploma or Degree in Radiography / Radiological Technology (or an equivalent qualification named in the notification) and who meet that notification's age band and any registration requirement with a state radiography council. The job itself is hospital work: producing diagnostic images, positioning patients, operating X-ray and related imaging equipment, and applying radiation-protection rules in a railway hospital or health unit. The paper is not a pure radiography test. The RRB Radiographer study guide has 4 sections and about 1,400 words.
