RRB CBT-I 2026 Answer Key and Response Sheets Now Accessible Online
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have officially announced the release of the answer key and candidate response sheets for the Computer Based Test-I (CBT-I) conducted for Non Technical Popular Categories (Graduate) posts under CEN No 06/2025. This move aims to enhance transparency in the recruitment process, allowing examinees to verify their performance and address any discrepancies.
Examination Details and Access Period
The CBT-I examination was administered from March 16, 2026, to March 27, 2026, across various test centers nationwide. According to the Ministry of Railways, candidates who participated in this assessment can now access their recorded responses and the provisional answer keys through a dedicated link available on the respective RRB websites.
The viewing window has been activated starting from April 6, 2026, at 16:00 hours and will remain open until April 12, 2026, at 23:55 hours. During this specified timeframe, aspirants are encouraged to log in to the official RRB portals to meticulously review their question papers, submitted answers, and the corresponding answer keys.
Objection Submission Process and Guidelines
Candidates who identify any inconsistencies in the questions, answer options, or the provided keys are permitted to raise formal objections. The objection submission window is synchronized with the viewing schedule and will conclude on April 12, 2026, at 23:55 hours. The boards have strongly advised applicants to submit their challenges well before the deadline, emphasizing that no representations will be entertained after the closing time under any circumstances.
Detailed instructions regarding the objection submission procedure are accessible via the same link used for viewing the response sheets and answer keys. It is crucial for candidates to follow these guidelines precisely to ensure their concerns are properly registered and considered.
Fee Structure and Refund Policy
A nominal fee of Rs. 50 per question, in addition to applicable bank service charges, is required for raising objections. Payments must be made exclusively through online methods, including debit cards, credit cards, UPI, or net banking. In instances where an objection is deemed valid by the reviewing authorities, the fee paid for that specific challenge will be refunded after deducting any relevant bank charges. The refund will be credited directly to the account utilized by the candidate for the original transaction.
Finality of Board Decisions
The Railway Recruitment Boards have affirmed that all submitted objections will undergo thorough examination. The decisions rendered by the boards following this review process will be final and binding. No further correspondence or appeals will be accepted once the evaluation is completed, underscoring the importance of timely and accurate objection submissions.
This initiative by the RRBs underscores their commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment mechanism, providing candidates with an opportunity to ensure the accuracy of their evaluation. Aspirants are urged to utilize the available resources promptly to avoid missing critical deadlines.
