RRB Paramedical CEN 03/2025: 16-question general-section practice mock

A compact RRB Paramedical practice mock drilling the 30-mark common CBT sections — General Awareness, Arithmetic with Reasoning, and General Science — with 16 original questions and worked solutions. Does not cover the 70-mark post-specific Professional Ability paper.

Before you start

16 questions in 20 minutes on a single clock — a short drill, not the full 100-question CBT.
Each question carries 1 mark; one third of a mark is deducted for a wrong answer, matching CEN 03/2025.
This mock covers only the common General Awareness, Arithmetic with Reasoning, and General Science sections (30 marks combined). It does not replace professional study for the 70-mark Professional Ability paper, which is entirely post-specific.
Every question is original, written to the CEN 03/2025 pattern, with a worked solution shown after you submit.
