How to download RRB Group D Sarkari Result Answer Key 2026
To download the answer key following are the steps below
- Open the regional RRB website where you submitted your application, or go directly to the official sarkari result portal sarkariresult.com.cm
- On the homepage, look for the notice titled “CEN 09/2025 – Viewing of Questions, Responses & Answer Key and Raising of Objections”.
- Click the link. You will be redirected to the login page.
- Enter your Registration Number and Date of Birth / Password, then submit.
- Your question paper, your marked responses, and the official correct answers will open shift-wise on the screen.
- Download the PDF and take a screenshot of every page. This is important — the link stays live only for about a week.
How to raise Objection
If you find an answer that you believe is not correct, RRB gives you a paid challenge option. The fee for that is ₹50 per question, plus bank charges, paid online at the time of submission.
– Upload proper supporting proof — NCERT page, standard reference book, or an official government source. A screenshot of a random Telegram post will get rejected.
– If your objection is found valid, the fee is refunded to the same account. If rejected, the money is not returned.
– RRB does not reply individually. The verdict simply shows up in the final answer key.
– Objections raised through email, post, or on X/Twitter are not entertained. Only the online window counts.
Do not raise objections in bulk just because a coaching video told you a question was “wrong”. Five casual objections cost you ₹250 and usually change nothing.
How to calculates Marks
Once you have the response sheet, scoring yourself is straightforward:
– Each correct answer carries 1 mark.
– One-third mark is deducted for every wrong answer.
– Unattempted questions carry no penalty.
Formula: Total Marks = (Correct × 1) − (Wrong × 1/3)
But here is the catch that confuses lakhs of candidates every year — your raw score is not your final score. Because the CBT was held in 16 days across multiple shifts, RRB applies normalisation to adjust for difficulty variation between shifts. Your normalised score can go slightly up or down from your raw score. This is exactly why in CEN 08/2024 the scorecard released on 1 July 2026 showed different numbers than what many candidates had calculated at home in February. You can check the last year trends on Sarkari Result 2026 website also.
Minimum Qualifying Marks (Category-Wise)
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentage |
| UR / EWS | 40% |
| OBC (NCL) | 30% |
| SC | 30% |
| ST | 25% |
Clearing the qualifying percentage only makes you eligible for evaluation — the actual shortlisting for PET happens through the zone-wise cut off, which is always higher.
Expected Cut Off Trend:
For a realistic benchmark, look at the last cycle. Under CEN 08/2024, the result and zone-wise, category-wise cut offs were declared on 1 July 2026 for 32,438 vacancies, and roughly 63,000+ candidates were shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test, with PET starting from 25 July 2026. That result was itself delayed by a Telangana High Court matter — a reminder that railway timelines can shift for reasons that have nothing to do with the exam.
Based on that pattern, subject experts generally treat 75+ normalised marks as a decent score and 85+ as reasonably safe in high-competition zones like Bihar, UP, and Bengal. Zones with fewer applicants often settle lower. With 22,195 vacancies this time against a bigger applicant base, cut offs in crowded zones may well go up.
