The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have released the RRB Group D Cut Off 2026 on 12 November 2026 along with the CBT result of CEN 09/2025. So far 6 RRBs — Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Gorakhpur, Patna, Prayagraj and Ranchi — have published their cut off marks, and 16,427 candidates have been shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). The highest UR cut off is 82.51333 for RRB Patna, while the lowest UR cut off among the six boards is 77.28827 for RRB Ahmedabad.
The cut off has been released for 22,195 Level-1 posts after the Computer Based Test held from 3 to 25 August 2026. These are normalised marks of the last candidate shortlisted for PET in each category, so they are different for every RRB and every community — UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS. Candidates can check their scorecard with percentile score and normalised marks from 16 November 2026 on their regional RRB website. The remaining RRBs will publish their cut off lists soon, so candidates of other zones should keep checking the official portal.

RRB Group D PET 2026 – Physical Standards
|
| Candidate |
Lift and Carry |
Run |
| Male |
35 kg for 100 metres in 2 minutes |
1,000 metres in 4 minutes 15 seconds |
| Female |
20 kg for 100 metres in 2 minutes |
1,000 metres in 5 minutes 40 seconds |
| The PET is qualifying in nature — no marks are awarded, so a strong CBT score cannot offset a PET failure. The PET date, venue and reporting time are announced by the RRC on its own website, and shortlisted candidates also get an SMS and email to download the e-call letter for PET. |
What Happens After the RRB Group D Cut Off
|
| Stage 1 — PET: Shortlisted candidates appear for the Physical Efficiency Test conducted by their RRC. PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and CCAA candidates skip this stage and go straight to document verification. |
| Stage 2 — Document Verification: Candidates who clear PET are called for document verification by the RRC, with original certificates and the documents specified in the CEN. |
| Stage 3 — Medical Examination: Candidates who clear document verification undergo the medical examination as per the medical standards for Level-1 posts. |
| Final Panel: The RRC prepares the final panel after all three stages. Being called for PET does not entitle a candidate to an appointment — the candidature is purely provisional and can be cancelled at any stage for any inconsistency in the application data or for malpractice. |
| Keep your documents ready: Keep your registration number, admit card, photo ID, Class 10 certificate and other educational certificates ready for the next stages of the recruitment. |
