For RRB Group D aspirants

A Group D plan that includes the physical test.

General Science, Maths, Reasoning and Current Affairs — plus the PET most candidates only start preparing for after results.

Open the planner →

The Group D syllabus is not large and the questions are not difficult. Millions of people apply, almost all of them can solve most of the paper, and selection comes down to accuracy, speed and not losing marks you should have had.

There is also a physical test at the end that ends your attempt regardless of how well you did in the written paper — and it is the part that gets postponed.

Plan both from day one.

How the planner builds your Group D plan

You tell it:

  • The exam you're preparing for
  • Your exam date
  • How many hours a day you can study, and when you usually study

The AI builds a daily routine of timed sessions across Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Science, and General Awareness with Current Affairs, weighted towards the topics that appear most in previous papers. Add PET practice as a session of your own.

A typical Group D study day

  • Maths block — one topic: number system, percentages, time and work, mensuration, simple DI.
  • Reasoning block — analogies, series, coding-decoding, syllogism, Venn diagrams.
  • General Science — Physics, Chemistry or Life Sciences at 10th-standard level.
  • General Awareness and Current Affairs — a short daily block; topics you study come back on a spaced revision schedule.
  • PET session — running or endurance work, added as a session of your own.
  • Timed set — a fixed number of questions against the clock, weekly.

General Science is where Group D is won

Other railway exams lean on General Awareness. Group D leans on General Science, and it is the section where prepared candidates pull ahead — the material is finite, learnable and directly testable.

Give it daily sessions of its own rather than mixing it into General Awareness, and it accumulates real hours across months instead of being treated as background reading.

The physical test is not optional

Every cycle, candidates clear the written test and fail PET, and every one of them intended to start training "after the result".

Add physical preparation as a real session with real time attached, from the beginning. It is a small cost spread over months instead of an impossible one compressed into weeks.

Spaced revision for a wide, shallow syllabus

Group D asks a little about a lot. That is precisely the syllabus shape that fades fastest without repetition.

Lighthouse Prep brings every topic you study back after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, with a harder question each time, so what you learned in month one is still there when the exam finally arrives — which, in railway cycles, is often much later than expected.

Features for Group D prep

  • PET practice in your routine — add it as a session of its own from day one.
  • A plan from the Group D pattern — sessions weighted towards the topics that appear most in previous papers.
  • Group D mock tests — full-length, on the real CBT pattern with negative marking. Your first test is free.
  • Spaced revision — automatic, built for wide shallow syllabuses.
  • More than one exam — add NTPC or ALP as separate exams, each with its own date and plan.
  • Focus timer — measures real study time, not desk time.
  • Wastage report — shows, session by session, how much of your planned time you actually studied.
  • Lumi, your AI mentor — remembers your exam and weak subjects, and checks in when you've gone quiet.

Who this is for

  • First-attempt candidates preparing across a long cycle
  • Repeat candidates who cleared the written test but failed PET
  • Working candidates fitting preparation around a job
  • Anyone preparing for several railway exams at once

Frequently asked questions

Does it plan for the Physical Efficiency Test?
Yes. Add PET practice to your routine as a session of its own from the start, and it runs on the same timer as your study, so your training time is recorded too. PET is a pass-or-fail gate that ends the attempt regardless of your written score, and it is the thing candidates postpone until results are out.
Why is General Science treated separately?
Because Group D weights it heavily and it is the section that most distinguishes this exam from other railway papers. The plan is built from the Group D pattern and previous papers, so Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences at roughly 10th-standard level get their share of sessions rather than being folded into General Awareness.
How is Group D different from NTPC?
Group D is a single computer-based test followed by the physical test, aimed at Level 1 posts, with General Science carrying real weight. NTPC runs two CBTs for graduate-level posts with a much heavier General Awareness load. If you are preparing for both, add each as its own exam, each with its own date and plan.
The syllabus looks small. Why do I need a planner?
The syllabus is small; the competition is enormous. Millions apply, so selection turns on accuracy and consistency rather than on covering more material. A planner keeps your practice timed and your older topics coming back, and full-length mock tests on the Group D CBT pattern show whether your accuracy is holding.
I'm preparing while working or studying. Is this realistic?
You set the hours you have. Group D cycles run long, so a steady daily routine across months beats intense bursts, and the planner is built for the hours you actually give it.
Is it free?
Yes. You can build a plan, run the session timer, revise on a spaced schedule and see where your study time went without paying. AI features such as generating study material use credits, and every account starts with 50,000 free.
