PHARMAKAKSHA
Daily and weekly tests, full-length mock CBTs, notes and one-to-one sessions at weekends, built for one paper: the Pharmacist (Entry Grade) computer-based test.
We turn a big syllabus into a daily plan you can follow, with steady testing and honest feedback until exam day.
Pharmakaksha is exam prep built for pharmacy. This batch has one goal: a CBT score high enough to rank inside your RRB's Pharmacist vacancies, because only that many candidates are called for document verification.

The Railway Recruitment Boards fill Pharmacist (Entry Grade) posts through a single-stage computer-based test (CBT), followed by document verification and a medical examination. Initial pay is ₹29,200 (Level 5, 7th CPC). RRB will announce the CBT dates on its website.
Apply only on the official site, rrb.indianrailways.gov.in. Pharmakaksha registration is separate from your RRB application.
Merit lists are drawn RRB-wise, and more than one application leads to rejection of all of them and debarment. Check your RRB's category-wise break-up in Annexure B of the notice before you apply.
Vacancies are provisional and may increase or decrease. Ex-servicemen and PwBD vacancies are counted within these figures.
You must hold the qualification by 14 Oct 2026; candidates awaiting final results are not eligible. This notice does not list D.Pharm. Medical standard C2 (distance vision 6/12, nil, with or without glasses).

Refunds go to your Aadhaar-seeded bank account, less bank charges, and only if you take the CBT.
There is one written stage. Your CBT marks decide your rank within your RRB, and only as many candidates as there are vacancies are called for document verification, so clearing the qualifying mark is only the first goal.
100 MCQs in 90 minutes (120 for eligible scribe users), ⅓ mark off per wrong answer. Qualifying: 40% UR/EWS, 30% OBC (NCL) and SC, 25% ST. Normalised if held in several shifts.
Shortlisted RRB-wise at one candidate per vacancy, on CBT merit. Ties go to the older candidate, then alphabetically by given name.
Medical standard C2, conducted by the Railway administration.
Railway zone or unit is allotted by merit, your stated preferences and the vacancy position.
One mark per question, four options each. RRB calls this split indicative; the paper may vary.
Move the sliders to see your marks under the +1 / −⅓ rule and whether you clear your community's qualifying mark.
With 118 posts over 20 RRBs, the score that gets a DV call sits well above the qualifying mark. Aim for rank.
With four options and a ⅓ penalty, a blind guess earns nothing on average. Rule out even one option and every guess starts paying. We train elimination on every mock.
Expected marks = 1 × P(correct) − ⅓ × P(wrong).
