If you are preparing for the RRB ALP 2026 exam<\/a><\/strong>, you must know that General Science is the absolute backbone of this paper. Why? Because you are applying for a technical job to drive Indian Railway trains. In CBT 1, General Science carries a solid weightage of 20 marks. The best news is that you do not need to read thick engineering books or tough college-level science. The syllabus is based entirely on your 9th- and 10th-class school books. If you understand the basic concepts, you can easily score a perfect 20 out of 20. In this simple guide, we will tell you exactly how to prepare general science for RRB ALP from absolute zero.

Before you start reading anything, you need to know what the Railway Recruitment Board actually asks. The science section is divided into three parts: Physics, Chemistry, and Life Sciences (Biology). Because this is a Loco Pilot exam, Physics gets the maximum attention. Here is a simple table showing the most important science subjects and how many questions you can expect from them in your CBT 1 exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
