Admin preview — not publicly listed. This page is excluded from search and the sitemap, and is reachable only from the Founder's Dashboard (Content → Staging). Its tests are stored with visibility = 'admin', so the questions are unreadable over the public API even by someone who has the URL — and a database trigger keeps them that way, so a Sheets sync cannot publish them by accident. Dropping trg_tests_railway_stay_admin is the deliberate launch switch.

For the serving railway employee working toward a promotion — someone who already knows the job and needs to find out, before the exam hall does, which rules and manuals they only think they remember.

LDCE and GDCE are not the same thing

We are not an official source. Mock Test Mitra is a practice platform, not a conducting authority. Eligibility, quota shares, paper structure and marking change between zones and between notification cycles. Everything below is orientation to help you tell the two exams apart — verify every detail against your own zonal notification before you rely on it.

This page covers LDCE promotion routes — the two ladders above. GDCE is a different route that is routinely confused with it, because both are a way upward for someone already in service. They are not the same exam and they are not scored against the same pool, so it is worth being sure which one your notification is for. Broadly, and subject to that notification:

LDCE

Limited Departmental Competitive Examination

Limited to: Your own department / cadre
Route: Promotion within the cadre, notably Group C → Group B
Run by: The zonal railway
Tests you on: Departmental codes, manuals and establishment rules

GDCE

General Departmental Competitive Examination

Open to: Any serving employee — hence "general"
Route: Serving staff competing against the direct-recruitment quota
Run by: The zone's Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC)
Tests you on: General awareness, maths and reasoning, plus post-specific technical

Your notification is the authority on every point above — including which posts are offered, how many papers there are and how they are marked. Where it differs from this page, it is right and this page is out of date.

Syllabus outline

Orientation, not a syllabus. This is assembled from departmental guides and question-bank sites, not from a Railway Board circular we hold. It is here so you can judge whether our mocks are aimed at your exam — the syllabus attached to your own notification is the only one that counts.
