Frequently Asked Questions — RRB Group-D 2026 Rank Predictor

Based on previous years' trends, the expected cut-off (out of 100 raw marks) is: UR 40–45, OBC 35–40, EWS 38–42, SC 30–35, ST 28–33. Actual cut-off depends on normalization and zone-wise vacancies and will be officially declared by RRB.

RRB Group-D rank is based on normalized marks. RankGuruji estimates your overall rank, shift rank, zone rank, category rank and their normalized equivalents by comparing your score with all candidates who have shared their response data on this platform.

The CBT has 100 questions for 100 marks to be completed in 90 minutes. Each correct answer gives +1 mark, each wrong answer deducts −0.33 marks, and unattempted questions carry zero marks.

Since RRB conducts the exam in multiple shifts, normalization adjusts raw marks to account for difficulty variation across shifts. Your raw score is converted to normalized marks before the final merit list is prepared — which is why two candidates with the same raw score may have different final ranks.

Candidates who clear the CBT are called for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). After PET, shortlisted candidates go through Document Verification and Medical Examination. Start preparing for PET running and weight-lift tasks immediately after checking your rank.
