What if a question or answer is wrong? (Raising Objections)
If you feel that the official answer provided by RRB is incorrect or the question itself was wrong, you can "Challenge" it. But remember, this is not free of cost.
Objection Fee: You have to pay ₹50/- plus bank charges for every question you challenge. If your objection is found to be valid (correct), the ₹50 fee will be refunded back to your bank account. If your objection is rejected, you will lose the money.
Make sure you upload a proper proof or document from a standard textbook to support your claim while raising the objection.
