Without Assistant Operations, the train operations cannot run properly. Without Assistant TRD, the overhead electric lines cannot be maintained. So every post has its own importance.
The notification number for this recruitment is CEN 09/2025. The notification was released on 30 January 2026. The apply start date was 31 January 2026. The apply end date was 9 March 2026.

PwBD candidates may get a relaxation of up to 2 marks if reserved posts would otherwise remain vacant. It is important to understand that minimum qualifying marks are not the same as cut-off marks. Minimum qualifying marks are the minimum marks you must score to be considered for the merit list. Cut-off marks are the actual marks of the last candidate who got shortlisted.

Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for RRB Group D Result is the same as the eligibility criteria mentioned in the original notification CEN 09/2025. Candidates who have applied for the exam have already fulfilled the eligibility at the time of application. But it is important to understand the eligibility again, because during Document Verification, your eligibility will be checked once more.
For educational qualification, the candidate must have passed 10th Pass / ITI / National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) granted by NCVT, or equivalent. Different posts have slightly different educational requirements. For example, for some technical posts, ITI is required. For other posts, only 10th pass is enough. Candidates should check the post wise qualification in the official notification.
For age limit, the candidate must have been between 18 to 36 years as on the cut-off date mentioned in the notification. Age relaxation is applicable for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen, and other categories as per Government of India rules. The proof of age is calculated from the Class X Admit Card, Pass Certificate, or Mark Sheet issued by a recognized Board, provided the date of birth is clearly mentioned.
For nationality, the candidate must be a citizen of India, or a subject of Nepal, Bhutan, or a Tibetan refugee who came to India before 1st January 1962, or a person of Indian origin who has migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, and other countries as mentioned in the notification. In simple language, most candidates are Indian citizens, so this condition is fulfilled.
For medical standard, the candidate must be medically fit as per the medical standard of the post. Different posts have different medical standards like A2, B1, B2, C1, etc. The medical examination will be held after Document Verification. If you are not medically fit for the post you have applied for, you may be considered for another post if you are eligible, or your candidature may be cancelled.

Selection Process
The selection process for RRB Group D Result is completed in four stages. Candidates should understand all four stages clearly.
The first stage is Computer Based Test, which is commonly known as CBT. The CBT was held from 3 to 25 August 2026. The CBT had 100 questions for 100 marks. The questions were from Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Science, and General Awareness and Current Affairs. The duration was 90 minutes. There was negative marking of 1/3 mark for each wrong answer. The result of CBT has now been declared on 12 November 2026. Candidates shortlisted in CBT will go to the next stage.
The second stage is Physical Efficiency Test, which is commonly known as PET. The PET is expected to be held in December 2026. The PET is qualifying in nature. The marks of PET are not added to the merit list. That means even if you run very fast, your marks will not increase. You just have to qualify the PET. If you fail in PET, you will be out of the recruitment, even if you have scored very high marks in CBT. So PET is very important. Candidates should start preparing for PET from now itself. Do not wait for the PET admit card.
The PET criteria are different for male and female candidates. For male candidates, they have to lift and carry 35 kg for 100 metres within 2 minutes in one attempt, and run 1000 metres in 4 minutes and 15 seconds in one attempt. For female candidates, they have to lift and carry 20 kg for 100 metres within 2 minutes in one attempt, and run 1000 metres in 5 minutes and 40 seconds in one attempt. The PET is conducted on the same day for both activities. Candidates get only one attempt for each activity. There is no second chance. So you should practice regularly.
The third stage is Document Verification, which is commonly known as DV. In DV, all your original documents will be checked. Your educational certificates, caste certificate, age proof, photo ID, and other documents will be verified. If any document is found to be fake or incorrect, your candidature will be cancelled. So keep all your documents ready and correct.
The fourth stage is Medical Examination. In Medical Examination, your eyesight, hearing, physical fitness, and general health will be checked. Different posts have different medical standards. If you are found medically unfit for the post, you may be considered for another post if you are eligible.
The final merit list will be prepared based on CBT marks, after PET, DV, and Medical Examination. The PET marks are not added. Only CBT marks are considered for final merit.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
PET Date: December 2026 (Expected)
Male Candidates: Lift and carry 35 kg for 100 metres within 2 minutes in one attempt, and run 1,000 metres in 4 minutes and 15 seconds in one attempt.
Female Candidates: Lift and carry 20 kg for 100 metres within 2 minutes in one attempt, and run 1,000 metres in 5 minutes and 40 seconds in one attempt.
Nature of PET: Qualifying only. Marks are not added to the merit list.
Exemption: PwBD candidates do not appear in PET but must clear the Medical Examination for the post.
Candidates should start running daily from now. If you have never run 1000 metres before, start slowly. First, run 200 metres, then 400 metres, then 600 metres, and slowly increase to 1000 metres. Also practice lifting weight. For male candidates, practice lifting 35 kg. For female candidates, practice lifting 20 kg. Do not lift heavy weight suddenly without practice, because it can cause injury. Practice in a ground, not on a road. Wear proper sports shoes. Drink enough water. Take proper rest.
