If your roll number is on that PDF — congratulations! But the work isn't done yet. The next steps are important:
Document Verification (DV): You will need to produce all original certificates, including your graduation degree, caste certificate (if applicable), and identity proofs.
Medical Examination: Each post has a specific medical standard (A2, A3, B2, etc.). For example, the Station Master role requires very high visual standards.
Final Appointment: Once you clear the medical round, your joining letter will be dispatched by the respective Zonal Railway.

Final Result released on 07/05/2026 for 8,113 Graduate Level posts.
Normalization has been applied to all CBT scores.
