RRC NR Group D DV Merit List 2026 Out — Complete Guide

RRC NR Group D DV Merit List 2026 — Latest Update (As on 21 October 2026)

These candidates were shortlisted on the basis of their performance in the Computer Based Test (CBT) and the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), along with the notified vacancies and community-wise cut-off marks. The DV will start on 2 November 2026, which is only about 12 days from today, and will continue up to 30 November 2026. Every candidate has a fixed date and venue in the roll list.

Please remember that this is a shortlist for document verification. It is not the final merit list and it does not give you the right to get a job. The final selection will be done after document verification and medical examination, as per railway rules. Other railway zones are also releasing their DV lists. For example, RRC Prayagraj released its DV schedule on 12 October (DV from 26 October to 23 November), and RRC Chennai released its DV list on 15 October (DV starting 4 November).

RRC NR Group D Cut Off 2026 (CEN 08/2024) — Category-wise

Why Is the CCAA Cut-off Different?

• CCAA means Course Completed Act Apprentices — candidates who have completed Act Apprenticeship in the railways
• For them, shortlisting uses 2/3 of the CBT normalized marks and 1/3 of scaled NCVT marks
• That is why the CCAA cut-off is around 68 in all categories, while the cut-off for other general candidates changes from about 65 to 76 depending on the category
• NCVT marks are added only for CCAA candidates. Everyone else is judged on CBT normalized marks
• Ex-Servicemen have a separate and much lower cut-off in this list, because they are shortlisted in their own group

DV Schedule — Date-wise and Venue-wise (As Per Roll List)

Documents to Carry for DV (General Guide)

• Printout of the DV call letter and a valid photo ID (such as Aadhaar)
• Class 10 (Matriculation) certificate or equivalent, for date of birth proof
• ITI / NCVT / NAC certificate and marksheets, wherever required as educational qualification for your post
• For CCAA candidates: Apprenticeship completion certificate and NCVT marksheet, since NCVT marks were used in your shortlisting
• Category certificate (SC / ST / OBC-NCL / EWS) in the central government format, where applicable
• Ex-Servicemen or PwBD certificates, where applicable
• Recent passport-size photographs (carry extra copies)

• Check your name, father’s name and date of birth on every document. They must match your application
• OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must be in the correct format and valid for the required period. Ask your issuing authority early if needed

What Happens After DV?

If You Miss Your DV Date

If Your Roll Number Is Not in the List

• Check that you opened the right zone. This list is only for RRC Northern Railway. Other zones have their own lists
• Search again with the full 16-digit roll number and also try the registration number
• Compare your score with the cut-off for your category. If your marks are below the cut-off, you are not shortlisted in this list
• Wait for further notices. Railways sometimes release additional or replacement lists, as per vacancies
• Keep your documents ready in case a further list comes

• Take a screenshot or PDF of the roll list page showing your roll number for your record
• Prepare for the medical standard too. Check the basic health and vision requirements for your post
• Stay in touch with official updates for your zone and also keep an eye on other zones if you had applied in more than one
