See RRB in general have a generalized pattern among all of it examinations. So if you prepare for RPF SI it would be more helpful for you to clear RRB Group D. I would recommend you to target the examination which is a level harder than what you target and believe me this increases the possibility.

Hello,
The eligibility criteria for RPF SI as well as UPSC is based on graduation in any discipline from a recognized university, in case of RPF SI the exam is conducted in three stages such as Computer Based Test, Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Measurement Test, followed by Document Verification, however in case of UPSC the three stages are Preliminary which has two papers, each of 200 marks, it's conducted in MCQs format, the second stage is Mains which is subjective paper you have to write answers, there are total of nine papers, and last stage is Personality Test. The syllabus of UPSC is humongous, it's one of the toughest exam, however RPF SI consists of only CBT Test which consists of sections like General Awareness, General intelligence and Reasoning, Arithmetic, as this is CBT based hence practice and accuracy matters lot here, preparing for UPSC is lot more different as I said the syllabus is quite extensive.
