RRB Group D · Level-1 · General Intelligence & Reasoning

Railway Group D

The biggest section of the paper is the one that isn't a subject.

General Intelligence and Reasoning is 30 of the 100 questions — more than Science, more than Maths, more than General Awareness. And one CBT decides the whole thing.

For Class 10 and ITI candidates preparing for Level-1 railway posts.

Thirty questions. One paper. There is no second CBT to make up the marks — the PET is qualifying only. Source: RRB CEN 08/2024, para 14.1.

The section everyone leaves for last is the one worth the most marks.

Science, Maths and General Awareness are things you know or you don't — you can revise them into place. Reasoning isn't like that. It's a way of seeing, and it gets faster with practice, which means it gets better slowly and then stays.

That's exactly why it's worth starting early, and exactly why it's the section most people leave alone until the end. Thirty questions is the largest block of marks on the paper, and it's the block that rewards months rather than weeks.

One CBT decides this exam. Start the section that compounds.

How · train the section

The largest section, and the only trainable one.

The reasoning section isn't in a syllabus you can read. It's a thinking skill, built by practising the right questions, the right amount, over time. That's exactly what Master Mental Ability does — and the RRB's own notice lists analogies, series, coding and decoding, syllogism and Venn diagrams, which is precisely what the app trains.

Adapts to you

Harder as you improve, easier when you slip. No time wasted on what you've already got.

Back before you forget

Spaced repetition returns a question right as it's about to fade — so it's still there on exam day.

Solve first, then see

You reason it out before the answer shows. That effort is where recognition gets built.

Calm before the clock

A moment to settle before each session. The same calm ninety minutes on a clock takes away.

What this doesn't cover: Group D is four sections. We train one — General Intelligence and Reasoning. General Science, Mathematics and General Awareness need their own preparation, and we don't pretend otherwise. Inside reasoning, we train the core: analogies, series, classification, coding-decoding, relationships, directions, Venn diagrams and syllogisms. Data interpretation and statement–argument questions aren't what this app is for.

Built by

In 2007, in his second year at IIT Delhi, Vineesh wrote a book — Master Mental Ability in 30 Days. It has sold year after year ever since, without the publisher ever marketing it.

In the years since, he built other learning products and spent a decade working with children of every background in a holistic learning centre.

This app goes far beyond that book — everything he's learned about how people actually learn, built into something you practise, not just read.

Your questions

Common questions

Is it really free? Will money get taken from my account?

It's free to try — no signup to start, no card, no auto-debit, nothing taken silently. Later, one payment unlocks all the content for a full year — it's a one-time payment, not a subscription, and never an auto-debit. Exact pricing is coming soon. And you'll always be able to try free first — and share the app to keep learning free.

Is this app enough to clear Group D?

No. Group D is four sections and this trains one — the largest one. General Science, Mathematics and General Awareness need their own preparation. What we do, we do properly.

Which section carries the most marks?

General Intelligence and Reasoning: 30 of the 100 questions, against 25 for Science, 25 for Maths and 20 for General Awareness. It is the biggest section and the only one that is a skill rather than a subject.

I have very little time before my exam. Is this any use?

Some. Practice always beats no practice. But be honest with yourself about what a hundred questions in ninety minutes means: recognition is built over months, not in a week. Start anyway — the next cycle is closer than it feels.

Is the app in Hindi?

The full app is coming in Hindi — questions and solutions both. For now it's in English. Worth knowing either way: the RRB sets this paper in Hindi, English and 13 regional languages.

When is the next Group D, and where do I apply?

Only on the Railway Recruitment Boards' own portal, rrbapply.gov.in — never through an agent and never through us. The RRBs publish each recruitment as a Centralised Employment Notification (CEN) on the RRB websites. CEN 08/2024 was the most recent Level-1 notification. Check rrbapply.gov.in for the current cycle.
