Railway Recruitment Boards declared the RRB Group D Level-1 CBT result on 12 November 2026 for candidates who appeared under CEN 09/2025. The shortlist and normalised cut-off PDFs are available through the official RRB Chandigarh website Results section. Only candidates placed in the CBT shortlist move to Physical Efficiency Test, followed by Document Verification and Medical Examination as per the official notification.
RRB Group D Level-1 Examination 2026: Short Details
This result covers the Computer-Based Test stage of the RRB Group D Level-1 Examination conducted by Railway Recruitment Boards under CEN 09/2025.
The overview table with this section summarises the organisation, examination name, advertisement number and overall vacancy position as per the official notification. It is the reference point to confirm the cycle before downloading any file, because several RRB Centralised Employment Notices remain live on regional websites at the same time. As per the official notification, this cycle accounts for 22,195 Level-1 posts.
What this result decides
The published PDFs decide who enters the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) shortlist. Shortlisting is done on normalised marks, not on raw marks obtained in a single shift, which matters because the CBT was held in multiple shifts with varying difficulty levels. A candidate who clears the minimum qualifying threshold still needs to meet the higher normalised cut-off fixed for the shortlist to progress.
Who should use this page
This page is for candidates who appeared in the CBT for CEN 09/2025, regardless of the railway zone or RRB region selected during application. Regional RRB websites host the same central result files, so a candidate who applied through another region can still use the Chandigarh portal as an entry point. Those who did not appear in the CBT have no shortlist status under this declaration.
RRB Group D Level-1 Examination 2026 Important Dates
The timeline relevant now consists of the completed CBT window and the declaration of the CBT shortlist and cut-off.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Exam Date | 3 to 25 August 2026 |
| Result | 12 November 2026 |
The Important Dates table with this section lists the CBT period and the result declaration as per the official notification. As per the official notification, the CBT was held from 3 to 25 August 2026. The November declaration noted in the introduction is the operative date for downloading the shortlist, normalised cut-off and score-related notices. Readers who need the original application schedule should refer to the official notification, since this result-stage update does not reopen any application window.
How to read this timeline
Treat the CBT window as context for normalisation and the November declaration as the action point. Normalisation was required precisely because the examination ran across many days and shifts. Once the shortlist is out, the next operative announcements are the PET schedule and call-letter notice, which the Boards issue separately through the Results and PET-related sections of the official sites.
There is no fresh form, correction or fee step attached to this declaration. Work from the shortlist PDFs forward: save your PDF copy, note your qualifying status, and follow only the PET and Document Verification instructions issued for CEN 09/2025.
How to Check RRB Group D Level-1 Examination 2026
You check this result by downloading the CEN 09/2025 shortlist PDFs from the official RRB portal and searching your roll number in the file.
Result files are large and zone-linked, so downloading on a desktop and using PDF search avoids missing your entry due to a line-break or scanned-image issue. Keep your registration number and roll number ready, because the shortlist PDF is ordered by roll number while the call-letter and score notices later use registration details.
- Go to the RRB Chandigarh official website on a browser.
- On the homepage, open the Results section or Results tab.
- Select the link marked for RRB Group D Level-1 Examination against CEN 09/2025.
- Download the result or shortlist PDF and the separate cut-off PDF for CEN 09/2025.
- Verify CEN 09/2025 on the first page or title of each PDF before searching.
- Press Ctrl+F, enter your roll number exactly as printed on the CBT admit card, and save a copy of the PDFs for PET and Document Verification use.
If the PDF does not open, try the corresponding Results link on your regional RRB website, where the same CEN 09/2025 files are mirrored. Do not rely on third-party marks calculators; the only shortlist position that counts is presence of your roll number in the official PDF read with the normalised cut-off notice.
RRB Group D Level-1 Examination 2026 Cut Off Marks
Cut-off for this examination works at two levels: a fixed minimum qualifying percentage and a higher normalised cut-off that actually controls PET shortlisting.
The Cut Off table placed with this section reflects the official cut-off notice as per the official notification. The notice must be read together with the shortlist PDF, because qualifying the minimum does not by itself place a candidate in the PET pool. As per the official notification, the minimum qualifying percentages are General (UR) 40%, EWS 40%, OBC-NCL 30%, SC 30% and ST 30%.
Minimum qualifying versus shortlisting cut-off
Minimum qualifying percentages are uniform entry filters. The normalised cut-off varies by zone, category and shift normalisation and is invariably higher than the minimum for categories and zones with heavy competition. Railway Recruitment Boards apply a normalisation formula to equate difficulty across the August shifts, then fix the PET shortlist cut-off on those normalised scores.
How to interpret your position
First confirm that you meet the minimum for your category, then compare your normalised score with the PET shortlist cut-off shown for your zone and category in the official PDF. Candidates from reserved categories who score above the unreserved normalised cut-off are adjusted per the rules stated in the centralised notice. For zone-wise normalised figures, refer to the official notification and the cut-off PDF linked under CEN 09/2025, since consolidated news summaries often mix zones.
RRB Group D Level-1 Examination 2026 Merit List and Next Stage
Merit movement after the CBT follows the sequence of PET, Document Verification and Medical Examination for shortlisted candidates.
- Computer-Based Test (CBT)
- Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
- Document Verification
- Medical Examination
The selection-stage list attached to this opportunity by code reflects that order as per the official notification. PET is qualifying in nature and tests physical suitability for Level-1 duties; it does not carry marks forward in the same way as the CBT, but absence or disqualification at PET ends the candidature for this CEN. Document Verification and Medical Examination then confirm eligibility and fitness before final empanelment.
If your roll number is in the shortlist
Preserve the downloaded shortlist PDF and your CBT registration details together, because PET call-letter notices cross-reference both. The Boards will announce the PET date, venue and call-letter download method through a separate notice linked in the Results or PET section of the official RRB sites. That notice, as per the official notification, is the only source for reporting time, dress and identity-proof instructions. For the certificate set to carry to Document Verification, refer to the official notification, since requirements differ by category, age-proof, qualification and reservation claim.
If your roll number is not in the shortlist
Non-appearance in the CBT shortlist means no PET call under CEN 09/2025, even if the minimum qualifying percentage was secured. There is no separate waiting-list action at this point for unlisted candidates. Retain your score details for personal reference and track only fresh Centralised Employment Notices for future Level-1 openings.
