Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the merit list PDF are eligible to proceed to the next stage, which is the CBT-2 exam scheduled for 13 October 2025.
What candidates should do next after result declaration?
Candidates should take the following actions now that the result and cut-offs are out:
- Download the zone-wise merit list PDF from the respective regional RRB website and check their roll number.
- Access individual scorecards via candidate login, which include sectional marks, normalised scores and qualifying status.
- Note the schedule and exam city/intimation slip for CBT-2 (13 October 2025) and prepare accordingly.
Important reminders about cut-off and shortlisted status
- The cut-off marks vary for each RRB zone and category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) and depend on the number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam and vacancies.
- Meeting the cut-off does not guarantee appointment; shortlisting merely allows participation in the next stage.
- For Undergraduate level posts (12th standard) the result and cut-off are expected separately.
