RRB Group D Result 2026: Zone-wise Result Links
The result is published separately on each regional RRB website, so open the one for the zone you applied under. Bihar and Jharkhand zones are marked with a star.
Recommended first: the result and scorecard are also reachable centrally. Open rrbapply.gov.in and go to the Examinations or Result section, and download the scorecard at rrb.digialm.com using your registration number and date of birth. If a regional site is slow on result day, use this central route.
On each site, the link is titled along the lines of "CEN-RRB-08/2024 (Pay Level-1 Posts): CBT Result and Score Card." Open your zone's website, click that link, and the merit list PDF opens.

RRB Group D Cut Off 2026
The cut-off was released zone-wise and category-wise along with the result. A few things decide what the numbers look like.
Because the CBT was held in many shifts across nearly three months, raw scores were converted to normalised scores using the equi-percentile method, and the cut-off is stated in these normalised marks. Shortlisting for the PET is done up to three times the community-wise vacancies, so the cut-off is the lowest normalised mark that made the PET list in each category. The minimum qualifying percentages are 40 percent for UR and EWS, 30 percent for OBC and SC, and 25 percent for ST, relaxable further for PwBD, but the actual cut-offs run well above these minimums.
To give a sense of the level, in RRB Mumbai the normalised cut-off was around 96.77 for UR, 94.56 for OBC, 91.14 for SC, 85.68 for ST, and 81.77 for EWS. Numbers vary from zone to zone, so always check your own zone's cut-off PDF, but this shows how competitive the UR and OBC cut-offs have become.
Next Stages: PET, DV and Medical
Clearing the CBT is the first step, not the last. Three stages remain, and all are qualifying in nature.
The Physical Efficiency Test comes next. For male candidates, the standard is to lift and carry 35 kg for 100 metres in 2 minutes in one attempt without putting it down, plus running 1000 metres in 4 minutes 15 seconds. For female candidates, it is lifting and carrying 20 kg for 100 metres in 2 minutes, plus running 1000 metres in 5 minutes 40 seconds. Candidates who are PwBD, ex-servicemen, or Course Completed Act Apprentices are exempt from the PET. After the PET comes Document Verification, where originals and category certificates are checked, followed by a Medical Examination against the prescribed standards. The final selection rests on the normalised CBT marks, subject to qualifying the PET, DV, and medical.
Salary
The RRB Group D posts fall under Level-1 of the 7th Pay Commission, with a basic pay of ₹18,000 per month. Once Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, Transport Allowance, and other allowances are added, the in-hand pay works out to roughly ₹25,000 to ₹27,000 per month depending on the posting city. Along with job security, railway perks, and regular pay revisions, it remains one of the most sought-after openings for 10th and ITI qualified candidates.
Important Dates
What Candidates Should Do Now
If your roll number is in the merit list, download your scorecard from rrb.digialm.com before 16 July and keep it safe, then start PET preparation immediately, since the running and weight-carrying standards need real practice and the date can be announced at short notice. Keep your original documents and category certificates ready for the DV stage. If your roll number is not in the list this time, check your normalised marks on the scorecard against your zone's cut-off to understand the gap, and channel that into the next railway opportunity, since the RRB Group D CEN 09/2025 cycle for 22,195 posts is already underway.
