Eligibility Criteria for SCRA Exam


  • SCRA stands for Special Class Railway Apprentice exam and is conducted by upsc and latest updates about it can be found at http://www.upsc.gov.in
  • Educational Qualification- Must have either passed or appearing in class 12th or equivalent examination from science stream with maths as cumpulsory subject and one subject between physics and chemistry .
  • AGE Limit-The candidate must have attained 17 years and must have not completed 21 years of age as on 1st august of year of examination.



This exam is considered a bit tough to crack as its question standard is near to IIT-JEE. So you should labour hard to achieve best result. You must follow some steps to get good results :
  • Practice previous year papers and new sample papers
  • Give proper time on all parts.
  • Time management should be your priority during practicing.
  • Build concepts and don't try to just memorize the things.
