An Appeal

      The Research Designs & Standards Organization (RDSO) through its Zonal Officers conducts aptitude test examinations for safety category staffs for Indian Railways. The complete process is as per standard procedure and concludes in a fair and transparent manner.

      Aptitude test examinations are of multiple-choice objective types having verbal and non-verbal questions. Just after concluding the aptitude test daily, OMR answer sheets are handed over to Chairman, RRB for coding and removing the detachable portion for their record. This exercise is resorted for a purpose, so as the identity of the candidates are not known to processing officers. This activity is completed under controlled conditions and strictly adhering the stipulated time frame. OMR answer sheets are evaluated using the dedicated computerized machine. The aptitude test is qualifying in nature and is based only on merit.

      RDSO or any Zonal Units do not run any coaching centers nor is any center authorized by them. Beware of unscrupulous persons and coaching centers which are collecting money from the aspiring candidates with a promise of supplying question paper or providing job under VIP quota, etc. Nothing of this sort is possible.

     This appeal is issued in the interest of the candidates to avoid getting way lead by mischievous and unscrupulous elements. RDSO or any Zonal Units will not be held responsible for any such misadventure on part of the candidates.


      Any suggestions for further improvement in bringing efficiency and transparency in the test procedures are heartily welcome. All such suggestions may be sent by clicking the feedback link or at the address given below. We assured all useful suggestions will be considered for implementation.
