RRB Clerk free practice is possible here for most of the syllabus, because RRB Office Assistant tests Reasoning and Numerical Ability in Prelims, and both are covered fully in our SBI Clerk question bank. RRB's pattern is different, though: no English in Prelims, a different Mains structure, and an option of Hindi as the language paper, so read this before relying on SBI-pattern mocks.
What RRB Clerk means
"RRB Clerk" is the common name for the Office Assistant (Multipurpose) post in Regional Rural Banks. IBPS runs the recruitment through its CRP RRBs process, which is CRP RRBs-XV for the 2026-27 cycle. The post is similar in nature to a clerk in a commercial bank, but RRBs serve mainly rural and semi-urban areas, so knowing the local language matters a great deal in daily work.
How the RRB pattern differs from SBI
| SBI Clerk | RRB Office Assistant | |
|---|---|---|
| Prelims sections | English, Numerical, Reasoning | Reasoning and Numerical only |
| Prelims size | 100 questions, 60 minutes | 80 questions, 45 minutes |
| Mains size | 190 questions, 200 marks, 160 minutes | 200 questions, 200 marks, 2 hours |
| Language paper in Mains | English | English or Hindi, by choice |
| Computer | Inside the Reasoning section | A separate section |
| Negative marking | 1/4 of the question's marks | 1/4 of the question's marks |
Figures are from the 2026-27 notifications as summarised in our SBI vs RRB Clerk FAQ. Check the RRB notification for the exact sectional timing, since secondary sources describe it differently.
What you can practise here for RRB
- Reasoning: all 17 topics, including puzzles, seating, syllogism, inequality, coding-decoding and direction. This is the full RRB Prelims reasoning syllabus and more.
- Numerical Ability: all 22 chapters, with unlimited generated questions in 21 of them.

- Computer: 12 topics, useful for the RRB Mains computer section.

Training for the RRB pace
RRB Prelims gives you 80 questions in 45 minutes, about 34 seconds each, with no English section to rest in. Our Prelims mocks follow the SBI pattern, so they will not reproduce this exactly. Instead:
- Build a custom test of 40 reasoning questions from puzzles, seating, inequality, syllogism and coding, and set the time given for reasoning in the RRB notification.
- Build a second custom test of 40 quant questions from simplification, approximation, series, DI and arithmetic, with RRB's quant time.
- Take them back to back, at least twice a week, as a stand-in for a full RRB Prelims.
A weekly plan if RRB is your main target
| Day | Main block (90 min) | Short block (30 min) |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Puzzles and seating, three sets | Simplification drill |
| Tuesday | Arithmetic chapter of the week | Inequality and syllogism |
| Wednesday | DI, two sets, and number series | Coding-decoding |
| Thursday | Reasoning custom test at RRB pace | Review of mistakes |
| Friday | Quant custom test at RRB pace | Review of mistakes |
| Saturday | Both custom tests back to back, as a mock Prelims | Banking awareness, 20 questions |
| Sunday | Computer topics and GA reading | Rest |
Once Prelims is behind you, swap the custom tests for GA, Computer and language-paper practice for Mains.
What this site does not cover for RRB
We have no Hindi-medium content, so if you plan to take RRB Mains with the Hindi language paper, you will need another source for it. We also do not run RRB-pattern mocks, and our GA focuses on banking and economy rather than rural and agricultural topics in depth. The Officer Scale I (RRB PO) exam is not covered either.
The RRBs-XV schedule puts Office Assistant Prelims in late 2026 and Mains around the turn of the year; see the exam dates page.
Questions people ask
Is there English in RRB Clerk Prelims?
No. RRB Office Assistant Prelims has only Reasoning and Numerical Ability. In Mains you choose either English or Hindi as the language paper.
Can I use SBI Clerk mocks for RRB Clerk?
For Reasoning and Numerical practice, yes. The full pattern differs, so build custom tests with RRB timing to practise the real pace.
Should I prioritise IBPS Clerk or RRB Clerk?
Most candidates prepare for both, since the core syllabus overlaps. Our FAQ on IBPS vs RRB Clerk discusses how to split time between them.
