- Exam city and date intimation, plus SC/ST travel authority, will be issued about 10 days before each test, with e‑call letters available roughly four days prior.
- The CBT comprises 100 questions over 90 minutes covering Mathematics, General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Science, General Awareness and Current Affairs.
- A one‑third mark penalty applies for each incorrect response, with a 120‑minute duration for eligible PwBD candidates using a scribe.
- Minimum scores for shortlisting are set at 40% for UR and EWS, and 30% for OBC (non‑creamy layer), SC and ST.
- Candidates who clear the CBT proceed to a Physical Efficiency Test followed by document verification and medical examination, with RRB reserving the option to stage the CBT differently if required.
