RRB JE 2026 – What Happens After the Result
Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the CBT 1 shortlist must immediately transition their focus to the CBT 2 examination. It is vital to note that CBT 1 serves purely as a screening test; marks obtained in this phase are used only to filter candidates and do not contribute to the final merit list.
RRB JE 2026 – What Qualified Candidates Should Know
Selected Junior Engineers under CEN 05/2025 are placed in Pay Level-6 of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), starting at a robust basic pay of ₹35,400. Along with standard Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Transport Allowance (TA), railway engineers receive field-specific allowances such as Night Duty Allowance (NDA) and National Holiday Allowance (NHA). This pushes the initial monthly in-hand salary significantly higher, often reaching ₹50,000 to ₹55,000 depending on the posting zone and city classification.
The upcoming CBT 2 examination will carry 150 marks over 120 minutes. Unlike CBT 1, this phase rigorously tests technical proficiency (100 questions specific to the candidate's engineering discipline—Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.), alongside General Awareness, Physics, Chemistry, and Basics of Computers. Final merit is drawn exclusively from your CBT 2 performance.
Candidates should also be aware that final deployment relies on a stringent Document Verification (DV) process and the notorious Railway Medical Examination. Engineering staff must pass uncompromising vision standards (such as A3, B1, or B2 depending on the specific post). A candidate holding a top CBT 2 score can still be rejected if they fail to meet the exact medical and visual acuity standards defined for their allocated post.
