RRB JE Syllabus 2026 | RRB JE Electronics and Allied Engineering Syllabus 2026 | RRB JE by Atul Sir

Main summary

Key takeaways

Educational

Main ideas / lessons conveyed

  • The RRB JE selection process has 4 stages:
    1. CBT 1
    2. CBT 2 (only after qualifying CBT 1)
    3. Document verification
    4. Medical test
  • There are two written exams: CBT 1 and CBT 2. CBT 2 is attempted only after qualifying CBT 1.
  • The video provides syllabus overview and weightage guidance for:
    • RRB JE Electronics & Allied Engineering (EC/ECE/… covered as “ECS/EC”)
    • RRB JE Computer Science (CS)
  • EC and CS have the same paper (no separate different papers mentioned for EC vs CS).
  • Priority/strategy point: although all technical subjects must be covered, some subjects carry higher weightage (based on PYQs/previous shifts).
  • Practical preparation message:
    • Prepare thoroughly for CBT 1, since filtration happens.
    • CBT 2 is stricter and technical-heavy.
  • External learning platform promotion:
    • A Testbook GSP / mentorship program is advertised with a coupon code for discount.

Exam-wise methodology / structure mentioned

Exam pattern & marking

CBT 1

  • Total marks: 100
  • Time: 90 minutes
  • Negative marking: 1/3
  • Sections / marks distribution:
    • Mathematics: 30
    • Reasoning: 25
    • General Awareness: 15
    • General Science: 30
  • Strategy insight (stated):
    • Many students can qualify CBT 1 with good preparation, but there is filtration in later stages.

CBT 2

  • Total questions: 150
  • Time: 120 minutes (stated as “120–2 hours” / “2 hours range”)
  • Negative marking: 1/3
  • Marks distribution:
    • Non-technical: 50 marks
    • Technical: 100 marks
  • Non-technical topics (as listed):
    • General Awareness: 15
    • Physics: 15
    • Computer: 10
    • “Pollution”: 10
  • Core lesson: without technical knowledge, students cannot qualify CBT 2.
  • Cutoff hint: last year cutoffs mentioned as approximately 120–125 (as stated).

Eligibility mentioned (broad)

Candidates with degrees/diplomas in areas such as:

  • Electronics, Instrumentation, Communication, Computer Science (and similar)
  • Diploma or B.Tech are indicated as eligible

Syllabus approach for technical subjects

  • The technical syllabus is stated to contain 10 subjects contributing to 100 marks.
  • Because it’s an objective exam with negative marking, the speaker stresses:
    • Scoring 100/100 is very difficult
    • Aim for around 85+ (as per speaker guidance)

Technical syllabus topics (10 subjects named)

  1. ECM / EDC / Electronic Devices & Circuits (speaker uses “ECM” and later expands into EDC-like content)

  2. EDC / Electronic Devices and Circuits

  3. Digital Electronics
    • Includes: number system, Boolean algebra, logic gates

  4. LIC / (Logical/Linear/Instruction-related as mentioned “LIC”) (speaker explicitly says “LIC”)

  5. Microcontroller / Micro (speaker says “Micro” and “Microcontroller”)

  6. Electronic Measurement

  7. Communication
  8. Data Communication
  9. Computer Programming
  10. Basic Electrical Engineering

Note: the exact “full form” of abbreviations like ECM and LIC is not clearly expanded in the subtitles, but the subjects/chapter areas are represented as above.

Weightage (PYQ-based) as presented

  • The speaker compares PYQs of 2025 and another PYQ set (mentions “204” and “shift one”) and provides an approximate question/weightage comparison.
  • Key claimed pattern:
    • Weightage is fairly similar across shifts
    • No subject is extremely low (minimum around 8% claimed)
  • Higher weightage subjects (most important) are suggested as:
    • ECM
    • EDC
    • Digital
    • Micro
    • Communication / Data Communication
    • Computer Programming
    • (Exact ordering varies between the compared sets.)

Approximate question distribution figures (examples mentioned)

  • ECM: 10 (or 11 in the other set) → about 10–11%
  • Electronic Devices and Circuits: 13 (or 12)
  • Digital Electronics: 8 (or 10)
  • LIC: 10 (or 10) (speaker emphasizes it’s split across two chapters)
  • Micro: 11 (or 10)
  • Electronic Measurement: 8 (or 8)
  • Communication: 12 (or 15 in the compared set)
  • Data Communication: 10 (or 10)
  • Computer Programming: 10 (or 10)
  • Basic Electrical Engineering: 8 (or 6)

The speaker frames these counts as “visible weightage” inferred from PYQ comparison.

Instructional / study guidance delivered

  • Cover all technical subjects, even the lower-weight ones (minimum around 8% claimed).
  • Spend more time first on higher-weightage subjects, but don’t ignore others.
  • Preparation should be complete, because CBT 2 relies heavily on technical sections.
  • CBT 1 note: due to negative marking, careful preparation helps; CBT 1 can still be cleared with consistent effort.
  • If using the offered platform:
    • Attend live mentorship/classes
    • Use recorded sessions
    • Apply crash course / smartbooks closer to exam time (as described in promotion)
