Details Shown on the Result and Scorecard

The zone-wise PDF is a list searched by roll number. It tells you whether your roll number appears among the candidates shortlisted by your RRB for the next stage. Cut off marks have been released zone-wise and category-wise along with the result.

Your CBT marks are shown in the scorecard. The scorecard link is activated on 16 November 2026 on the official RRB website, and you will log in with your credentials to view your marks. Keep your registration details ready before that date. Read the scorecard for your roll number, your marks and your category, and compare them with the cut off for your zone.

Understanding Your Scorecard: Normalisation, Raw Marks and Merit

The CBT was held over many days and shifts, from 3 to 25 August 2026. Some shifts may have a slightly harder paper than others. To keep the comparison fair, normalisation is applied whenever a CBT is conducted in multiple sessions for the same syllabus.

• Raw marks: the marks you earned from correct answers, after the deduction for wrong answers. The CBT carries negative marking of one-third mark for every wrong answer.
• Normalised marks: your raw marks adjusted so that scores from different shifts can be compared on one scale.

The cut off is based on normalised CBT marks, so compare your normalised score with the published cut off, not your raw estimate from the answer key.

Qualifying versus merit

Every candidate must first meet the minimum qualifying percentage for their category:

• UR: 40%
• EWS: 40%
• OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): 30%
• SC: 30%
• ST: 30%

For Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), these percentages may be relaxed by up to 2 marks if there is a shortage of PwBD candidates against the vacancies reserved for them.

Meeting the qualifying percentage alone does not guarantee shortlisting. Qualifying status is a minimum bar. Merit status is your position among qualified candidates within your RRB and category, and shortlisting for the PET depends on that merit.

How Cut Offs Are Decided

Cut offs are not one national number. They differ from zone to zone and category to category. In general, a cut off reflects the number of vacancies reserved for a category in an RRB, how many candidates competed for them, and the normalised marks of candidates at the last shortlisted position. Higher competition for fewer posts pushes the cut off up.

As an example from the published figures, the RRB Bhopal cut off for the Unreserved category is about 79.81 marks. This is only one board and one category. For your own zone and category, read the cut off PDF published by your RRB.

Documents to Keep Ready for PET and Document Verification

The official checklist for the next stage is issued along with the call letter. Until it is released, keep the following ready, as applicable to you:

• Your category certificate in the prescribed format, valid on the closing date of application (for EWS candidates, with the self-declaration Income and Asset Certificate based on financial year 2024-25)
• EBC certificate, BPL card or equivalent document, for candidates who claimed the concessional fee
• Disability certificate with Unique Disability Identity (UDID), for PwBD candidates
• Ex-Servicemen documents and declaration, for Ex-Servicemen candidates
• National Apprenticeship Certificate, for Course Completed Act Apprentices
• No Objection Certificate from the employer, for candidates already in government service
• Gazette notification or other legal document, for candidates whose name differs from the 10th class certificate

Also keep your call letter, your application details and your educational and identity documents as listed in the call letter. A wrong claim made in the application leads to cancellation of candidature.

What Happens After the Result

The next stage is the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). The sequence for shortlisted candidates is:

1. Download the scorecard from 16 November 2026 and note your normalised marks.
2. Wait for the PET call letter and download it only from the official RRB and RRC websites.
3. Appear for the PET at the allotted date, shift and venue. Requests to change a date, shift or venue are not entertained.
4. Attend Document Verification, where your eligibility is checked against originals.
5. Complete the medical examination as directed in the official notice.
6. Receive the final merit-based selection, followed by joining and posting.

The source does not state dates for the PET, Document Verification, medical examination or joining. These dates, and the expected posting process, are published in the RRB notices and call letters, so check the official website regularly. Qualifying in the PET and later stages does not give a right to appointment, and vacancies are provisional and may increase or decrease. Keep your registered mobile number and email ID active, because all communication is sent there.

If Your Result Is Not Showing or Has a Discrepancy

1. Confirm you opened the website of the RRB you applied to, since each PDF covers that board only.
2. Search the PDF by roll number as printed on your admit card, and try the find option again after checking each digit.
3. Open your own RRB's PDF only after confirming the link says CEN 09/2025 CBT Result and Score Card.
4. If the roll number is absent, check your marks against the cut off for your zone and category. Absence from the list can simply mean you were not shortlisted.
5. If the scorecard link does not open, wait until after 16 November 2026 and retry with the correct login credentials.
6. For a misspelt name or other mismatch, contact your RRB using the details in the official notification for CEN 09/2025 and on your RRB's website, quoting your roll number and registration details. Carry supporting documents to Document Verification.

If You Did Not Qualify

Compare your normalised score with the cut off for your zone and category. The gap tells you whether you missed the qualifying percentage or only the merit position in your RRB. Review which sections cost you marks, and note how many marks wrong answers cost you under the one-third negative marking.

The answer key objection window closed on 17 September 2026, and the result is based on normalised CBT marks. The source mentions no provision for a revised result or reconsideration. If any revision is made, it will appear on the official RRB website, so rely only on those notices. Use this result as a benchmark and plan for the next recruitment cycle.
