What Cutoff Marks Mean and Where to Find Them

Cutoff marks are the minimum score you needed to clear the CBT and move to the Physical Efficiency Test. These vary by zone,​ category,​ and sometimes by specific post. RRB typically releases cutoff information alongside the result or within days of it. Since results are published zone-wise across all 21 regional boards—from RRB Prayagraj to RRB Jammu-Srinagar—your cutoff will be specific to your zone and category.

Check your regional RRB portal to see the exact cutoff for your category. If you've crossed it,​ you're through to PET. If you've fallen short,​ unfortunately,​ your candidacy for this cycle ends here.

The Four-Stage Selection Process: What Lies Ahead

Clearing the CBT is just stage one. The full selection process has four legs:

1. Computer-Based Test (CBT) — You've done this. It's the initial screening.
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) — Tests your fitness to perform the job's physical demands.
3. Document Verification (DV) — RRB checks your original certificates,​ educational qualifications,​ and identity proof.
4. Medical Examination — A final medical fitness check before appointment.

Only candidates who qualify all four stages get the job offer. So if your result shows you've cleared the CBT,​ prepare immediately for PET.

Physical Efficiency Test: The Standards You Must Meet

PET isn't an exam;​ it's a physical fitness assessment. The benchmarks differ by gender.

These aren't arbitrary numbers—they reflect the physical demands of railway jobs. A Track Maintainer,​ for instance,​ genuinely needs to lift heavy materials and move quickly on tracks. Start training now if you've cleared CBT. Two to three weeks of focused conditioning can make the difference.

Fee Structure and Refund Policy

Here's a detail many candidates overlook: RRB offers partial fee refunds to those who appear for the CBT.

All payments were made online via Debit Card,​ Credit Card,​ Net Banking,​ UPI,​ or other approved digital modes. If you appeared for the exam,​ check your bank account or RRB portal for the refund status.

Eligibility Criteria: Did You Qualify?

To be eligible for RRB Group D,​ candidates needed to meet three key requirements. First,​ age: minimum 18 years and maximum 36 years as of 01 July 2025. Standard age relaxation applied to reserved categories per RRB rules. Second,​ education: passing Matriculation or Class 10th from a recognized board was mandatory. Third,​ trade qualification: you had to hold an ITI certification in a relevant trade from an NCVT or SCVT approved institution,​ or possess a National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC).

These weren't just paper requirements—RRB verifies them rigorously during the document verification stage. If you're unsure whether your ITI or NAC meets the criteria,​ check the official notification or contact your regional RRB office now,​ before DV.

The 21 RRB Zones: Where to Check Your Zone-Specific Result

Results are being released zone-wise. Your result and cutoff will appear on your specific regional portal. The 21 zones are:

RRB Prayagraj,​ RRB Patna,​ RRB Ahmedabad,​ RRB Gorakhpur,​ RRB Kolkata,​ RRB Ajmer,​ RRB Mumbai,​ RRB Ranchi,​ RRB Siliguri,​ RRB Bilaspur,​ RRB Thiruvananthapuram,​ RRB Malda,​ RRB Chennai,​ RRB Guwahati,​ RRB Bhopal,​ RRB Chandigarh,​ RRB Muzaffarpur,​ RRB Secunderabad,​ RRB Bangalore,​ RRB Bhubaneswar,​ and RRB Jammu-Srinagar.

What Happens Next? Your Roadmap Forward

If you've cleared the CBT result,​ here's your next move. One: download and save your result PDF immediately. Two: start physical training for PET—don't delay.
