The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) are preparing to release the provisional answer key for the Group D Level-1 recruitment examination under CEN 08/2024. The computer-based test (CBT), conducted for thousands of candidates across multiple shifts, concluded on February 10, 2026, marking the end of the first stage in the selection process for various Level-1 posts in Indian Railways for the ongoing recruitment cycle.

Current Status of RRB JE Answer Key Release

According to updates from reliable education portals tracking Railway Recruitment Board activities, the provisional RRB Group D answer key 2026, along with candidates’ response sheets and question papers, is anticipated to be published shortly on the respective regional RRB websites. As of mid-February 2026, the key has not yet been released, but sources indicate it is expected in the coming days or within the third week of February 2026, following standard post-examination procedures.

Examination Overview and Jurisdiction

The RRB Group D CBT for CEN 08/2024 was held from November 27, 2025, to February 10, 2026, in multiple phases nationwide. This recruitment drive targets Level-1 posts such as Track Maintainer Grade-IV, Helper/Assistant, Pointsman, and others in various zones under Indian Railways. The examination serves as the initial qualifying stage, with subsequent phases including Physical Efficiency Test (PET), document verification, and medical examination for shortlisted candidates.

How to Access the Provisional Answer Key and Raise Objections

Once released by the respective Railway Recruitment Boards, candidates can download the provisional answer key, their recorded responses, and the question paper through the official regional portals. The process typically involves:

Visiting the official website of the concerned RRB (e.g., rrbcdg.gov.in or regional equivalents).
Navigating to the CEN 08/2024 section.
Locating the link for RRB Group D Answer Key, Response Sheet, and Objection Tracker.
Logging in using registration number/user ID and password/date of birth.
Downloading the relevant documents and viewing responses.

An objection window will open concurrently, allowing candidates to challenge any provisional answers. Objections must be submitted online with a prescribed fee per question (commonly INR 50 in previous cycles, subject to confirmation), and only through the official tracker portal. The last date for raising objections will be specified on the website upon activation.

Next Steps in the Recruitment Process

After reviewing objections, the RRBs will publish the final answer key, followed by normalisation of marks (if applicable across shifts) and declaration of CBT results. Shortlisted candidates will then proceed to the Physical Efficiency Test and further stages. The authority has not announced further details yet on the exact release date of the provisional key, objection fee confirmation, or result timeline beyond preliminary expectations.

Candidates are advised to regularly check their respective regional RRB websites and the central portal at indianrailways.gov.in for official notifications and updates. The recruitment applies pan-India under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Railways, with ranks valid for the current notification cycle only.
