What details are printed on RRB Group D scorecard
The RRB Group D scorecard carries both personal and exam‑related details of the candidate. Given your writing‑style, here is a clear, exam‑oriented list of what is printed on the scorecard, with proper headings.
1. Candidate’s personal details
Candidate’s full name as entered in the application form.
Date of Birth of the candidate.
Gender and sometimes Father’s / Mother’s name.
Category (General / OBC / SC / ST / EWS, etc.).
Roll Number and Registration Number / Application Number.
2. Exam and zone‑wise information
Applied RRB Zone (name of the Railway Recruitment Board where the candidate applied).
Exam name and cycle (e.g., RRB Group D CBT – CEN 08/2024).
Exam date / shift details (where applicable).
3. Marks and score details
Total marks of the exam (maximum marks of the CBT paper).
Raw score obtained by the candidate in the exam.
Sectional / particular‑section marks, if shown.
Normalized score (interpolated marks after normalization across shifts).
4. Qualifying status and cut‑off
Qualifying status (whether the candidate is qualified for the next stage or not).
Category‑wise cut‑off marks (minimum qualifying marks for each category, if shown on the scorecard or linked PDF).
Overall cutoff and sometimes sectional cutoff for the exam.
These details collectively help candidates verify their identity, marks, ranking status, and eligibility for the upcoming stages like Document Verification or PET.
RRB Group D Passing Criteria (CBT‑1)
To qualify in the RRB Group D Computer Based Test (CBT‑1), candidates must meet the minimum qualifying marks as per their category. These are standard Railway‑set norms followed in recent cycles (including 2025–2026 patterns).
1. Minimum percentage marks (CBT‑1)
Unreserved (UR) / General: 40% of total marks
Economically Weaker Section (EWS): 40% of total marks
OBC (Non‑Creamy Layer): 30% of total marks
Scheduled Caste (SC): 30% of total marks
Scheduled Tribe (ST): 30% of total marks
For PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability) candidates, the percentage may be relaxed by about 2% if there is a shortage against reserved vacancies, as per previous RRB orders.
2. Normalization and cutoff
Marks are normalized across shifts to adjust for different difficulty levels.
Only those who score ≥ minimum qualifying percentage and lie within the zonewise / category‑wise cutoff (as per vacancies) are considered qualified for the next stage.
3. Progression to next stages
Merely meeting the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee selection; candidates must also be in the merit list as per zone‑wise cutoff.
After CBT‑1, shortlisted candidates proceed to Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Document Verification (DV), and Medical Examination.
So in short: score ≥ 40% (UR/EWS) or ≥ 30% (OBC/SC/ST) in CBT‑1 + inclusion in zone‑wise cutoff list = RRB Group D passing/qualification.
