The Railway Recruitment Boards declared the RRB Group D Result 2026 for CEN 09/2025 on 12-11-2026. The result is being released board by board on the regional RRB websites.
There are 22,195 Level-1 posts under CEN 09/2025 across railway zones.
Each regional board publishes a list of candidates shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), along with normalised cut-off marks. Roll numbers appear in ascending order, not in merit order.
The scorecard and percentile score link goes live on or before 16-11-2026 at 5:00 PM and stays open till 01-12-2026 at 11:55 PM. You will need your registration number and date of birth to log in.
Bhopal, Gorakhpur, Patna, Prayagraj and Ranchi have released their lists so far, shortlisting 10,475 candidates between them. The remaining boards will follow on their own websites.
Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), Ex-Servicemen (ExSM) and Course Completed Act Apprentices (CCAA) are exempt from the PET, so their roll numbers do not appear in the PET shortlist.
Candidates who clear the PET move on to Document Verification and then a Medical Examination before final appointment.
