Railway Recruitment Boards issue Group D or Level-1 e-call letters through their official regional websites. Candidates searching for an RRB Group D Admit Card 2026 must first check the CEN number on their application because two different recruitment cycles are being discussed online.
Important correction: the official record shows that the CBT for CEN 08/2024 was held from 27 November 2025 to 10 February 2026, so its CBT admit-card phase has ended. The official page for CEN 09/2025 currently lists the recruitment notice and corrigenda, but an August 2026 CBT admit-card notice was not visible in the official indexed record checked for this update. Do not use an unofficial hall-ticket link that mixes these cycles.

How to Identify the Correct Recruitment Cycle
- Open the submitted application or registration confirmation.
- Find the Centralised Employment Notice number.
- Use the CEN 08/2024 archive only for that older application.
- Use the CEN 09/2025 page only if that number appears on your application.
- Match your selected RRB or Railway zone before opening a login link.
- Ignore messages that promise a hall ticket without checking your CEN number.
CEN 09/2025 Recruitment Facts
The official CEN 09/2025 corrigendum initially described approximately 22,000 Level-1 vacancies, initial pay of ₹18,000, and an age range of 18 to 33 years as on 1 January 2026. Vacancy/category revisions were later published, so candidates must use the latest detailed CEN and corrigenda for the final total and breakup.
The online application period was revised to 31 January through 2 March 2026. Application fees, qualification, post parameters, category rules, relaxations, and medical standards are contained in the detailed official notification and later corrigenda.
Qualification, Fee, Age, and Salary
| Item | Official Recruitment Position |
|---|---|
| Qualification | Post-wise Level-1 qualification stated in CEN 09/2025; check the detailed post-parameter table |
| Age | 18–33 years as on 1 January 2026 in the indicative corrigendum, subject to permitted relaxation |
| Initial Pay | ₹18,000 in Level 1 of the 7th CPC Pay Matrix |
| Application Fee | Check the detailed CEN and official application record |
| Vacancies | Revised through corrigenda; check the latest official vacancy table |
This is an admit-card update, not a new application notice. Fee refunds or concessions, qualification equivalence, age relaxation, and final vacancies should be verified from the CEN applicable to the candidate.
Selection Process
- Computer Based Test (CBT)
- Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
- Document Verification
- Medical Examination
- Final empanelment subject to eligibility and vacancies
RRB may add or modify stages according to the official CEN. E-call letters for CBT, PET, and document verification are downloaded separately when each stage is announced.
CBT Exam Pattern
The standard Level-1 CBT described in RRB recruitment notices contains 100 objective questions for 100 marks with a 90-minute duration for most candidates. Questions cover General Science, Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, and General Awareness/Current Affairs. A penalty of one-third mark normally applies for each wrong answer.
Candidates must compare this summary with their own CEN 09/2025 notice and call-letter instructions because RRB can revise the examination scheme or accommodations.
