SCRA stands for "Special Class Railway Apprentices Examination", Now I hope
you have a clear picture of how different it is from "IIT".

In general for a eligible candidate,it would take around 2 weeks of preparation
for this exam. The exam is intended to assess the English communication skills,
GK, science and mathematics knowledge. The syllabus is also not much vast
indicating the simplicity of the examination...
