What's Next? Preparing for CBT 2

Candidates who have successfully cleared the CBT 1 stage are now gearing up for the next phase: the Computer-Based Test 2 (CBT 2). The CBT 2 exam is scheduled to be conducted on September 17th, 2026. To ensure candidates are well-prepared and informed, exam city slips will be released 10 days prior to the exam date, followed by admit cards made available 4 days before the examination.

The CBT 1 marks are qualifying in nature, meaning they determine eligibility for CBT 2 but do not contribute to the final merit list. The final selection will be based on the performance in CBT 2 (and Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) for specific posts).

For accessing your scorecards and other official updates, candidates can visit the official website of the RRB regions, such as https://www.rrbcdg.gov.in/, starting August 26th, 2026, at 5 PM.
