RRB Group D 2026 Vacancy Details 🔴 Expired

Railway Recruitment Board ran RRB Group D 2026 under CEN 09/2025 for 22,195 Level-1 posts. The answer-key objection window closed on 17.09.2026. Candidates who sat the computer based test could view their questions, their own recorded responses and the answer keys, and raise objections, from 20:00 on 07.09.2026 until 23:55 on 17.09.2026. On 19.09.2026 the Boards’ notice list for CEN 09/2025 had nothing newer, so the result and PET dates are still awaited. An objection costs Rs 50 per question plus bank charges, and that fee is refunded if the objection is upheld, to the account it was paid from.

Applications received, RRB by RRB

The Boards published a tentative RRB-wise count of applications received on 25.08.2026. It adds to 52,39,760 applications against 22,195 Level-1 posts, which is about 236 applicants for every vacancy. Two things stand out in it: OBC applications alone, 20,34,679, are double the unreserved count of 10,07,850; and RRB Chandigarh drew 6,40,717 applications, five times RRB Bengaluru’s 1,27,186.

The Boards note that because this is a mixed selection, a post-category-wise split of applications is not available, and the ex-servicemen, PwBD and CCAA figures carry no community-wise breakup.

Important Links

Note: The objection notice has the window, the Rs 50 fee and the refund rule. The 25.08.2026 count notice is behind the 52,39,760 total above. The exam city guide covers login steps, portal maintenance and the admit-card timeline. The login is the official Digialm route for the city slip and later updates. The notices page will carry the CBT schedule, status notice, result and cutoff.

Important dates

Note: The Boards’ own objection notice records the 25th as the closing CBT day. The 21.08.2026 end date that circulated widely, and that this page once carried, was short by four days. The viewing window covered questions, responses and the answer key. Bank service charges are extra on the objection fee. The PET follows the result.

Posts covered under Level-1

This recruitment covers Track Maintainer, Pointsman, Assistant roles in different railway departments, workshop support posts, signal and telecom support posts, operations support posts and other Level-1 posts across Indian Railways zones.

Eligibility and age limit

The minimum qualification was 10th pass or ITI in a relevant trade, depending on the post. The age limit was 18 to 36 years, with standard government relaxation for reserved categories as per the detailed CEN and corrigendum notices.

Using RRB Group D official links

1. First open the RRB application status login and confirm that your CEN 09/2025 application is accepted or provisionally accepted.
2. Next open the exam city direct link. If your CBT date is close, the city slip should appear after login; if your exam is later, it may not be live yet.
3. If the Digialm portal shows maintenance, session expired or date expired, wait for a while and reopen the link in Chrome or incognito mode.
4. Use the official CEN 09/2025 notices page for CBT schedule, corrigendum, future e-call letter notice, result and cutoff updates.
5. Before the exam, download the admit card/e-call letter when it becomes available for your exam date and match all details carefully.

RRB application status and exam city explained

Application status and exam city slip are two different candidate services. Application status helps a candidate know whether the submitted form has been accepted for the recruitment process. The exam city slip is released closer to the CBT and tells the city/date details so that the candidate can plan travel. The final admit card is still separate and is expected around four days before the candidate’s actual CBT date. Candidates should not treat the city slip as entry permission for the exam hall.

Why only official RRB links are used here

Many third-party pages provide mirror PDFs or short links, but candidates should rely on Railway Recruitment Board and Indian Railways sources for final verification. On this page, the candidate-login and portal links are official. Where a regional RRB PDF is unreliable or blocked on some networks, the official CEN 09/2025 notices page is kept as the safer fallback because it lists all current notices in one place. This avoids sending candidates to outdated copied files.
