Selection / Merit List Details
The RRB Group D Merit List 2026 is prepared based on the performance of candidates in the Computer Based Test (CBT). The process involves normalization of marks across different shifts and sets to ensure fairness. The merit list is drawn up separately for each railway zone/region. Only those candidates who score above the category-wise cut off marks for their respective zones are included in the merit list and become eligible for the next stage – the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). In case of a tie (equal marks), the candidate with the earlier date of birth (older age) gets priority, and if still tied, alphabetical order is used.
The zone-wise result PDFs contain roll numbers of shortlisted candidates. These PDFs are expected to be released for all 16 railway zones:
- Western Railway (Mumbai) – WR
- North Western Railway (Jaipur) – NWR
- South Western Railway (Hubli) – SWR
- West Central Railway (Jabalpur) – WCR
