Dear Sir

 

i was given the JE Signal Exam of RRB Ahamdabad at Ahamdabad on 9 th September 2012, Sir JE Signal's Question paper has three set of Question booklet out of these one paper is very easy( it have as per sylabus that as per the Engineering which are eligible for same as per the Employment notice) & other two sets are tough that is only 10% question of technical side (technical question 90 question asked) related to E&CE/EL/Com/IT & about 90% questioned were asked out of syllabus that asked from material science & mechanical engineering.

So those candidate who get easy set of question paper they score higher then  that who got tough (out of sylabus) set of question paper.

 

can we get the three set of question paper through RTI? so we can justify the our statement that i given above
