The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) released the Computer Based Test-I result for Group D recruitment (CEN 09/2025) on 12 November 2026. Candidates shortlisted in a zone-wise merit list PDF, at three times the number of available vacancies per category, have qualified for the next stage: the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). Candidates in PwBD, Ex-Servicemen, and Course Completed Act Apprentice categories are exempt from the PET and their roll numbers will be issued separately by the relevant Railway Recruitment Cell. The exam was held between 3 and 25 August 2026 for 22,195 vacancies. Individual scorecards, percentile scores, and normalised marks will be available from 5pm on 16 November 2026 until 11:55pm on 1 December 2026. Candidates can check their result on their respective zonal RRB website. PET dates and further instructions will be issued later by the respective RRC, followed by document verification and medical examination.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The 22,195 Group D vacancies against which this result has been issued are for positions across Indian Railways. Candidates shortlisted at three times the vacancy number will now proceed to the Physical Efficiency Test, a stage that filters out those who cannot meet the prescribed physical standards. The scorecards and normalised marks, which become available from 16 November, will allow candidates to see their percentile ranking, but only those whose roll numbers appear on the zone-wise merit list PDF can take the PET. The dates for that physical test and subsequent document verification have not yet been announced by the respective Railway Recruitment Cells, leaving the next concrete milestone in the selection process unknown for now.
