Preparation Tips
- 1The 80-question technical section is the primary battleground — Civil candidates must be thorough in Railway Engineering and Bridge Engineering as these topics are uniquely important for RITES compared to other PSUs.
- 2General Science and GS should cover India's transport policy, national infrastructure pipeline projects, metro rail developments, and international development assistance projects involving Indian companies.
- 3The reasoning and analytical ability section includes data interpretation and logical deduction questions at a moderate level — practise data table and bar graph interpretation to score well here.
- 4For the interview, research RITES's current flagship projects, its export of railway equipment to African and Asian countries, and India's railway modernisation agenda — RITES interviewers appreciate candidates who understand the company's strategic positioning.
