The Telangana High Court has disposed of the petition concerning Course Completed Act Apprentice (CCAA) weightage marks on 16th June 2026, removing the stay that had earlier delayed the result.

Why Was the RRB Group D Result Delayed?
This section explains the background of the court case that caused the delay in declaring the result.
The result was delayed due to a case filed in the Telangana High Court relating to the weightage given to Course Completed Act Apprentice (CCAA) candidates in the final merit list. The dispute arose after a 2022 policy change by the Skill Development Ministry altered the earlier exemption available to apprenticeship candidates, prompting petitioners to demand restoration of the older selection system. Since the outcome could affect zone-wise rankings and cut off marks, RRB suspended further processing of the result until the court's verdict. With the case now disposed of, the court has directed the Directorate General of Training (DGT) to examine the representations on the 2022 policy change, and has instructed Railway authorities to conduct proper scrutiny of CCAA candidates during document verification.

RRB Group D Cut Off 2026: What to Expect
This section explains how the cut off marks will be determined and where they will be published.
The RRB Group D Cut Off 2026 will be released zone-wise and category-wise (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) along with the result and merit list. Since the CBT was conducted across multiple shifts over several months, RRB applies an equi-percentile normalisation method to ensure fairness raw marks in each shift are converted to a percentile scale, and this normalised score (not the raw score) is used to prepare the final merit list. As per the official notification, the minimum qualifying marks are:
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
|---|---|
| UR / EWS | 40% |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) / SC | 30% |
| ST | 25% |
Candidates must clear both the category-wise qualifying marks and the overall zone cut off to be considered for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET).
What Happens After the RRB Group D Result 2026?
This section explains the next stages in the selection process that follow the result declaration.
Candidates who qualify in the CBT will be shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which is qualifying in nature meaning candidates only need to clear it, and PET marks are not added to the final merit. Those who clear the PET will then proceed to Document Verification, where original certificates, identity proof, and category certificates (including NCVT/CCAA documents, given the recent court directions) must be presented. CCAA candidates should particularly note that RRB will conduct proper scrutiny and eligibility verification of their certificates during this stage, as directed by the Telangana High Court.
