The fifth and final phase of the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) Group D exam has concluded on October 11. After the exam, the RRB is expected to release the answer key for the recruitment exam. While an official confirmation of the date is still awaited, previous trends suggest that the answer key can be expected to be released after two weeks, that is, by October-end. Once out, the answer key will be available at the official website at indianrailways.gov.in.
Candidates would be given 5 to 6 days to raise objections against the answer key. Previously, the RRB NTPC recruitment exam answer key was released after about 16 days. Since the railway group D exam has been conducted in multiple phases, the normalization formula will be implemented to evaluate the performance of examinees. The percentile score is based on the performance of all the candidates who appear in the examination for any one shift. Those who clear the fifth phase of the exam will next have to clear the Physical Efficiency Test or PET, followed by document verification.
