Honestly stated: open-market Railway Recruitment Board Junior Engineer and Senior Section Engineer recruitment has been computer-based test plus document verification and medical, with no interview, since the mid-2010s. Interviews in railway and metro technical careers exist in three places: departmental selection boards and Limited Departmental Competitive Examinations for serving JE and SSE moving to Group B or supervisory posts; metro rail corporations such as DMRC, BMRCL, MMRC, UPMRC, NMRC, Chennai Metro and Kochi Metro, which interview for Assistant Manager and some engineer posts, often after a written test and a GATE score for executive grades; and railway PSUs such as RVNL, IRCON, RITES, Konkan Railway and DFCCIL, which interview engineers for project and executive posts. This mock prepares you for those boards.
