IBPS RRB Office Assistant Exam Pattern

Candidates must clear both the sectional and overall cut-offs. Prelims marks are used only for shortlisting; the final merit list is decided by Mains. Timing behaviour is unresolved: whether the 45 minutes runs as one composite window across both sections, or as separate per-section windows, is not established. This site has not read the CRP RRBs XV notification (published 1 September 2026) or its Information Handout directly, and the CRP RRBs XIV notice behind the figures above does not settle the point. Neither reading is published here until a primary document settles it.

Timing behaviour is unresolved: whether the 120 minutes runs as one composite window across all five sections, or as separate per-section windows, is not established. This site has not read the CRP RRBs XV notification (published 1 September 2026) or its Information Handout directly, and the CRP RRBs XIV notice behind the figures above does not settle the point. Neither reading is published here until a primary document settles it. On the rest: confirmed via multiple independent current secondary sources, Mains is 200 objective questions for 200 marks in 2 hours, across Reasoning (40Q/50 marks, 1.25 marks/question), Numerical Ability (40Q/50 marks, 1.25 marks/question), General Awareness (40Q/40 marks, 1 mark/question), Computer Knowledge (40Q/20 marks, 0.5 marks/question), and English Language (40Q/40 marks, 1 mark/question). Marks per question genuinely differ by section, unlike most other Mains-stage exams on this site. This site's Mains content covers Reasoning, Numerical Ability, Computer Knowledge, and English Language only (160 of the 200 objective questions), reproducing the official per-section marks weighting exactly; General Awareness is not built, since it needs current, fact-checked content rather than internally-verifiable calculation or language skill.
