RRB Group D Result 2026: CEN 09/2025 Status and Zone-wise Links
Two Group D cycles are running at the same time, and that is the single biggest reason candidates end up on the wrong page. One cycle is finished and its result is out. The other has just cleared its answer key stage and its result is days or weeks away. This guide keeps them separate, gives the official website for every RRB zone, and explains exactly what to do when the link goes live.
Which Cycle Are You In

If you sat the exam in August 2026, you are in CEN 09/2025 and your result has not come yet. If you sat it between November 2025 and February 2026, you are in CEN 08/2024 and your result came on 1 July 2026.
CEN 09/2025 Result: Where Things Stand
The CBT ran across sixteen days in August 2026 in three shifts a day, at centres all over the country. RRB then published the provisional answer key along with each candidate response sheet on 7 September, and gave a window until 15 September at 5 PM to raise objections at Rs 50 per question.
That objection window is now shut. What follows is a fixed sequence, and knowing it tells you roughly where you are in the queue.
- Subject experts review every objection that was filed
- Answers are corrected where an objection is accepted
- The final answer key is prepared
- Raw scores are converted to normalised scores, because the CBT ran in many shifts
- Zone-wise result PDFs and category-wise cut-off marks are published
- Scorecards go live on rrb.digialm.com for a limited window
Most sources point to October 2026 for the result. RRB has not put out an official date, so treat October as an expectation and not a promise. The pattern from CEN 08/2024 is a useful guide: the result came with the cut-off on the same day, and the scorecard stayed open for roughly two weeks.
RRB Group D Result: Zone-wise Official Links
The result is never published on one central page. Each Railway Recruitment Board puts out its own PDF, so you must open the website of the zone you applied under. Bihar and Jharkhand zones are marked with a star.
| RRB Zone | States Covered | Official Website |
|---|---|---|
| ★ RRB Patna | Bihar | rrbpatna.gov.in |
| ★ RRB Muzaffarpur | North Bihar | rrbmuzaffarpur.gov.in |
| ★ RRB Ranchi | Jharkhand | rrbranchi.gov.in |
| RRB Ahmedabad | Gujarat | rrbahmedabad.gov.in |
| RRB Ajmer | Rajasthan | rrbajmer.gov.in |
| RRB Prayagraj (Allahabad) | Uttar Pradesh | rrbald.gov.in |

On result day the link will be titled something close to "CEN 09/2025 (Level-1 Posts): CBT Result and Score Card". If your regional site is slow, the scorecard is also reachable through rrb.digialm.com with your registration number and date of birth, and the main application portal is rrbapply.gov.in.
How to Check Your Result
- Open the website for your zone from the table above
- Find the CEN 09/2025 Level-1 section on the home page
- Click the CBT Result link. A PDF opens
- Press Ctrl and F on a computer, or use Find on page on a phone
- Type your roll number. If it appears, you are through to the PET
- Download and save the PDF
How to Download the Scorecard
- Go to rrb.digialm.com through the result link on your regional site
- Log in with your registration number and date of birth
- The scorecard shows your name, category, section-wise marks, total marks and normalised marks
- Download it and keep a copy
The scorecard stays online only for a limited window. In CEN 08/2024 it was live from 1 July at 6 PM until 16 July, about sixteen days. Do not leave it for later, because you will need it at Document Verification and there is no way to retrieve it once the window shuts.
What the Cut-off Will Look Like
The cut-off comes out with the result, separately for every zone and every category, and it is stated in normalised marks rather than raw marks. RRB uses the equi-percentile method for this, because a candidate who sat a harder shift should not be penalised for it.
Shortlisting for the PET is done at up to three times the community-wise vacancies in each zone. So the cut-off is simply the normalised score of the last candidate who made that list in your category.
The minimum qualifying percentages are 40 percent for UR and EWS, 30 percent for OBC and SC, and 25 percent for ST, with further relaxation for PwBD. In practice the real cut-off sits far above these floors. Full zone-wise and category-wise numbers, plus what the previous cycle actually closed at, are in our RRB Group D cut off guide.
CEN 08/2024 Result: What Already Happened
If you appeared in the older cycle, here is the closed record.
| Event | Detail |
|---|---|
| Result declared | 1 July 2026 on regional RRB websites |
| Posts | 32,438 Level-1 |
| Shortlisted for PET | Around 63,475 candidates |
| Scorecard window | 1 July 2026, 6 PM to 16 July 2026 |
| Cut-off | Released zone-wise and category-wise in normalised marks |
| Note | 15 posts held in reserve pending a Telangana High Court case on Course Completed Act Apprentice weightage |
The scorecard window for that cycle has closed. If you qualified, your focus should now be entirely on the PET, Document Verification and the medical stage.
After the Result: PET, DV and Medical
Clearing the CBT is the first gate, not the last. Three stages follow and all three are qualifying, which means they decide whether you stay in the race but add nothing to your merit position.
| Stage | Male standard | Female standard |
|---|---|---|
| Weight carry | 35 kg over 100 metres in 2 minutes, one attempt, without setting it down | 20 kg over 100 metres in 2 minutes |
| Run | 1000 metres in 4 minutes 15 seconds | 1000 metres in 5 minutes 40 seconds |
PwBD candidates, ex-servicemen and Course Completed Act Apprentices are exempt from the PET. After that comes Document Verification, where originals and category certificates are checked, and then a Medical Examination against the prescribed vision and fitness standards. Final selection rests on your normalised CBT marks, subject to clearing all three.
Salary
Group D posts sit at Level-1 of the 7th Pay Commission with a basic pay of Rs 18,000 a month. Once Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, Transport Allowance and the rest are added, in-hand pay works out to roughly Rs 25,000 to Rs 27,000 depending on the posting city. The full breakdown is in our Group D salary and job profile guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Has the RRB Group D CEN 09/2025 result been declared?
No. As of now the result has not been declared. The provisional answer key was released on 7 September 2026 and the objection window closed on 15 September 2026 at 5 PM. The result along with zone-wise cut-off is expected in October 2026, though RRB has not announced a date.
I gave my exam in August 2026. Which result am I waiting for?
CEN 09/2025. The CBT for that cycle ran from 3 to 25 August 2026 for 22,195 Level-1 posts. Any result news you see about 1 July 2026 belongs to the older CEN 08/2024 cycle and does not apply to you.
Where will the result be published?
On the website of the Railway Recruitment Board you applied under, not on one central page. Candidates from Bihar should open rrbpatna.gov.in or rrbmuzaffarpur.gov.in, and candidates from Jharkhand should open rrbranchi.gov.in. The scorecard is downloaded separately from rrb.digialm.com.
Does my position in the merit list PDF show my rank?
No. The PDF lists roll numbers in ascending numerical order. Your position in that list has nothing to do with your marks. Download the scorecard from rrb.digialm.com to see your actual normalised marks.
How many candidates will be shortlisted for the PET?
Up to three times the community-wise vacancies in each zone. In CEN 08/2024, around 63,475 candidates were shortlisted against 32,438 posts. CEN 09/2025 has 22,195 posts, so the shortlist will be proportionally smaller.
Why are my raw marks different from the marks on my scorecard?
Because the CBT was held in many shifts over several weeks, RRB converts raw scores to normalised scores using the equi-percentile method. Merit and cut-off are both based on normalised marks, never on raw marks.
How long will the scorecard stay available?
RRB keeps it online for a limited window only. In the previous cycle it was available for about sixteen days. Download it as soon as it goes live, because you will need it at Document Verification.
What happens if my roll number is not in the list?
Compare your normalised marks on the scorecard against your zone cut-off to see how far off you were. That gap tells you exactly what to fix. Railway recruitment runs in cycles, and the next CEN will follow.
What to Do Right Now
Keep your registration number and date of birth somewhere you can reach in seconds, because on result day the regional sites slow to a crawl and you do not want to be hunting for credentials. Bookmark your zone website from the table above rather than searching for it fresh. And if you are reasonably confident of clearing the CBT, begin PET conditioning now. The running standard in particular rewards weeks of practice, not days.
For the full cut-off picture, including what the last cycle actually closed at in each zone, read our RRB Group D cut off guide.
