The Railway Recruitment Board has officially issued the admit cards for the Group D Level 1 Computer Based Test (CBT) for the year 2026. This phase of the examination is scheduled to commence on 3rd August 2026 and will continue through 25th August 2026. Candidates who have successfully registered for the CEN 09/2025 recruitment drive are advised to access their hall tickets via the designated digital portal. The admit card serves as a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall, containing vital information such as the candidate's roll number, specific shift timings, and the designated test center address. It is essential for all applicants to verify their details against their official identification documents to ensure accuracy. The examination process is being conducted in multiple phases, and candidates should monitor the official website regularly to stay updated on their specific exam slot. Failure to produce a printed copy of the hall ticket along with a valid photo ID will result in denial of entry to the examination venue. Candidates are encouraged to download their documents well in advance to avoid any technical issues during the final hours before their scheduled test.

The selection process for the Railway Group D Level 1 posts involves a Computer Based Test (CBT) as the primary stage. This test evaluates candidates on various subjects including general intelligence, mathematics, and general awareness. Each shift of the examination lasts for 90 minutes, during which candidates must answer objective-type questions. Following the CBT, successful candidates will proceed to subsequent stages such as the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and document verification. The final merit list is prepared based on the performance across these stages, ensuring a transparent and competitive selection procedure for all applicants.

The Computer Based Test is conducted in three daily shifts: 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM, 12:45 PM to 2:15 PM, and 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Each session has a total duration of 90 minutes. The paper consists of multiple-choice questions covering core subjects relevant to the Group D role. Candidates are advised to check their specific shift timing and reporting time printed on their individual admit cards, as these may vary based on the exam center and phase.
