Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
1. Question: For which category of staff Aptitude Tests are conducted by RRBs
for direct recruitment?
Answer: Aptitude Tests are administered on the candidates appearing for selection
as safety category staff on Indian Railways through different RRBs at the entry
level of Station Masters/Traffic Assistants and Assistant Loco Pilots (ALPs) for
assessment of cognitive/personality attributes of the candidates with a purpose to
ensure that the candidates possessing the desired level of attributes, essential for
safe train operation, are selected.
2. Question: Which categories have been taken into the ambit of Aptitude
Testing in CBT (Computer Based Testing) mode at present?
Answer: Now Aptitude Testing for recruitment of Station Masters (SMs)/Traffic
Assistant and Assistant Loco Pilots being recruited through Railway Recruitment
Boards (RRBs) is being conducted in CBT mode only. Further General
Departmental Competitive Examination (GDCE) being conducted by Railway
Recruitment Cells (RRCs) of Zonal Railways for in-house selection/promotion of
Station Masters (SMs) and Assistant Loco Pilots (ALPs) are also being conducted
in CBT mode. For Metro Rail Corporations also CBT mode of testing is being
adopted for recruitment/selection of Station Controllers (SCs)/Train Operators
(TOs) where number of candidates is substantial.
3. Question: What points are to be kept in mind for Aptitude Test in Computer
Based Testing (CBT)?
Answer: Following points are to be kept in mind for Aptitude Test in Computer
Based Testing (CBT):
a) Understand the examples to do better in the test.
b) Stay focused on every question of every test throughout so that you are able to
gain maximum score.
c) Keep in mind the time allotted for the test and try to finish within the stipulated
time.
d) If you find any question difficult, don’t waste time on it. Proceed to the next
question.
e) In the rest period between two tests, try to relax so that you are able to focus
again on the next test.
4. Question: What is the criterion to qualify for Aptitude Test?
Answer: In order to qualify the Aptitude Test, candidates are required to obtain T-
score ≥ 42 in each test. T-score is different from raw score and raw score of each
test is converted into T-score.
5. Question: How are T-score and composite score of a candidate calculated in
CBT mode of Aptitude Test?
Answer: Norms and standards as laid down from time to time shall be applied
uniformly to all candidates for adjudging their suitability. The basic parameters
required to calculate T-score are Mean and Standard Deviation as derived from
data of all candidates appeared in the test. Normally for most of the candidates, T-
score falls between T-score 80 to T-score 20, however formula does not rule out
possibility of T-score beyond this range also, though number of such candidates
may be very few.
The formula to calculate T-score is:
x − Mean
T = 50 + 10 , (𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑠 𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝐷 𝑖𝑠 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝐷𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)
𝑆𝐷
The T-score for particular subject for a test can be calculated as follows:
Subject score on Test 1 say = 20
Mean of Test 1 say =14
Standard Deviation of Test 1 say =3
20 − 14
T score = 50 + 10 = 50 + 10(2) = 70
3
Calculation of composite score is as follows:
As weightage to Aptitude Test is 30, the composite score of a particular subject
can be calculated as follows:
Composite T-score of a candidate having 5 tests in a battery is =300
The max T-score a candidate can obtain having 5 tests in a battery is (80x5) =400
The composite score out of 30 is:
*Out of 400 score candidate scored =300
∗
*Out of 30 score will be = = 22.5
Suppose a candidate gets Zero score (Raw score) in this particular test then his
T-score for this test will be:-
