RRB Group D 2026 – What Happens After the Result

Candidates who have successfully cleared the computer-based test cutoffs are officially shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET).

Qualifying the PET is mandatory to proceed to the Document Verification (DV) and Medical Examination (ME) stages.

RRB Group D 2026 – What Qualified Candidates Should Know

Appointees selected for Level 1 posts (such as Track Maintainer Grade-IV, Helper/Assistant, Assistant Pointsman, etc.) enter the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Pay Matrix at Level 1. The starting basic pay is fixed at ₹18,000 per month. When combined with current benefits like Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA—varying by X, Y, or Z class cities), and Transport Allowance (TA), the initial gross monthly salary typically ranges between ₹25,000 and ₹28,000, resulting in an in-hand salary of approximately ₹22,000 to ₹26,000 after statutory deductions.

The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) is the next rigorous hurdle. Male candidates must physically carry a 35 kg weight for a distance of 100 meters within 2 minutes without putting it down, followed by a 1,000-meter run in 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Female candidates must carry a 20 kg weight for 100 meters within 2 minutes without putting the weight down, and complete a 1,000-meter run in 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Candidates with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) and Course Completed Act Apprentices (CCAA) are exempted from the PET stage entirely.

Once final medical and document clearances are complete, candidates are deployed within the railway zones they applied for. The Group D profile involves crucial ground-level operations—from track maintenance to assisting in loco sheds and managing signaling equipment. Employees have clear career progression paths, able to move up to Level-2 posts, Technician roles, and eventually Junior Engineer (JE) through departmental examinations like GDCE and LDCE after fulfilling minimum service requirements.
