You must bring their Aadhaar card to the Group D examination center, as it is mandatory for biometric verification. If you have not yet completed your Aadhaar verification, you can do so by logging onto the official website, rrbapply.gov.in. Additionally, candidates who have already authenticated their Aadhaar must ensure that it is unlocked in the UIDAI system before the exam day. The CBT itself will be conducted for a duration of 90 minutes and will comprise a total of 100 questions. For the marking scheme, candidates will receive one mark for every correct answer and a one-third (1/3) mark will be deducted for each incorrect response.
To proceed to the document verification stage of the RRB Group D selection process, candidates who clear the CBT must pass the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). The PET involves two mandatory physical tasks. Both male and female candidates must successfully complete these tasks to qualify. The specific physical standards are given below:
| Task | Male Candidates | Female Candidates |
| Weight Carrying (in one attempt) | Carry 35 kg of weight for 100 meters in 2 minutes. | Carry 20 kg of weight for 100 meters in 2 minutes. |
| Running 1000 meters (in one attempt) | In 4 minutes and 15 seconds. | In 5 minutes and 40 seconds. |
Over 1.08 crore candidates waited for clarity, and the timeline now offers a clear picture of the recruitment process. The RRBs initially updated the process in August with a tentative Computer-Based Test (CBT) schedule set between November 17 and the end of December 2025. However, the exam preparations were halted due to a legal challenge concerning the eligibility criteria, which was initially filed in the Delhi High Court and subsequently transferred to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT). After all these RRB finally set the final date for Group D which is officially to be held between November 27 to December 16, 2025.
