IBPS RRB Officer Scale-I Prelims Exam Pattern 2026
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Tests | 2 tests |
| Questions | 80 questions |
| Marks | 80 marks |
| Duration | 45 minutes |
| Negative marking | One-fourth of the marks of that question is deducted for each wrong answer; no penalty for a blank question |
| Sectional minimum | A minimum score is needed in each individual test, and the total must also be high in merit |
Because a wrong answer costs one-fourth of that question’s own marks, guess only when you can narrow the options down. Scores from different sessions are normalised by the equi-percentile method.
