Railway Group D Answer Key: Why It Matters

The answer key gives candidates an early idea of how they performed in the examination. By matching their attempted answers with the official responses, candidates can calculate an approximate score before the result is declared.

It can also help candidates identify questions where they believe the official answer may be incorrect. If the RRB opens an objection facility, eligible candidates can submit challenges within the specified period and pay the applicable fee, if required.

Railway Group D Application Fee

The application fee for the recruitment was:

• General/OBC: ₹500
• SC/ST/EBC/Female/Transgender: ₹250

Refund After Appearing in CBT

Candidates who appeared in the CBT were eligible for the applicable refund:

• General/OBC: ₹400

Railway Group D Age Limit

• Minimum Age: 18 years
• Maximum Age: 33 years

Age relaxation for reserved categories is applicable according to the rules prescribed by the Railway Recruitment Boards.

What Happens After the Answer Key?

The answer key is not the final selection list. After the answer-key and objection process, RRB will proceed with the remaining stages of recruitment.

Candidates should therefore keep checking their regional RRB portal for:

• Final answer key
• CBT result
• Cut-off marks
• Shortlisted candidate list
• Physical Efficiency Test (PET), wherever applicable
• Document Verification
• Medical Examination
• Final appointment-related updates

Important Note for Candidates

Candidates should carefully check the answer key using their own login credentials. The exam date, answer key availability and subsequent recruitment stages may vary in terms of regional notifications, so candidates should regularly monitor the official RRB website associated with their application.

Railway Recruitment Boards Group D Answer Key 2026 is now available, while the result date will be announced later.
