Exam Schedule and Guidelines
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Group D CBT Exam (CEN 09/2025 for Level-1 posts) is set to take place over 16 days, starting from August 3 and concluding on August 25, 2026. Candidates are reminded that their exam city intimation slips were made available 10 days before the exam, while admit cards were accessible four days prior to the individual test date.
As candidates prepare for their journey, they should be aware of the exam structure. The Computer Based Test (CBT) includes a negative marking system where one-third of a mark is deducted for every incorrect answer. Additionally, all candidates must carry a valid photo identification document to their designated examination center to be permitted entry. Passengers are advised to reach the railway station well in advance and monitor the official Indian Railways website for any last-minute schedule updates.
