RRB Group D 2026 Answer Key and Response Sheets Released: How to Raise Objections

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially released the provisional answer key and individual response sheets for the Group D examination, conducted under CEN 09/2025. Candidates who participated in the Computer Based Test (CBT) can now access these documents through their respective regional railway websites to review their performance and verify their responses.

The release of the answer key provides candidates with an opportunity to assess their probable scores ahead of the final results. By comparing their marked responses against the official answer key, applicants can gain a clearer understanding of their standing in the recruitment process. The board has also provided a formal mechanism for candidates to challenge any discrepancies they may identify within the provisional key.

Accessing the Answer Key and Calculating Scores

To download the provisional answer key, response sheets, and the question paper, candidates must visit the official regional website of the RRB. Access to these documents requires a secure login using the candidate's unique User ID and password. Once logged in, the system will display the specific Question ID, the candidate's selected response, and the official correct answer for each item.

Candidates are encouraged to use the official marking scheme to calculate their estimated scores. According to the guidelines provided for CEN 09/2025, each correct answer carries one mark, while a penalty of 1/3 marks is applied for every incorrect response. This calculation allows candidates to estimate their performance based on the provisional data provided by the board.

Process for Challenging the Provisional Answer Key

For candidates who identify potential errors in the provisional answer key, the RRB has activated an online objection tracker. To submit a challenge, candidates must log in to the official regional portal and navigate to the link labeled 'CEN 09/2025 - CBT Objection Tracker.' From there, they can select the specific questions they wish to contest.

When raising an objection, candidates are required to select the correct answer option they believe is accurate and provide valid supporting evidence or proof to substantiate their claim. A fee of INR 50 is applicable for each objection raised. After submitting the challenge and the required documentation, candidates are advised to save and download a copy of their submission for their personal records. This window for objections is a standard part of the recruitment process, ensuring transparency and accuracy before the final results are compiled.
