CBT-1 answer key — not due yet
Applications for CEN 06/2026 close on 6 November 2026 and RRB hasn’t announced the CBT dates, so there is no answer key yet. For reference, in the 2025 cycle the CEN 07/2025 CBT-2 was held on 17 September 2026 and its key link opened on 24 September 2026.
When it comes, the link is posted on rrb.indianrailways.gov.in, the common website of all RRBs. Objections are accepted only inside the window RRB announces in its notice.

How to raise an objection
If you think a question, option or key is wrong, you can challenge it during the objection window. This is how it worked in the 2025 cycle:
- Spot the disputed questionNote the question and the option you believe is correct.
- Raise it on the linkFollow the procedure given on the RRB website link.
- Pay the fee₹50 plus bank service charges per question, by UPI, net banking or debit/credit card.
- Submit before the deadlineNo representation on questions, options or keys is entertained after the window closes.
- Refund if you’re rightIf your objection is found correct, the fee is refunded minus bank charges to the account you paid from.
Objections are accepted only during the official window, and the RRBs’ decision on them is final — no further correspondence is entertained. The CEN 06/2026 fee and dates will be in RRB’s own notice.
Calculate your expected score
Match your responses against the key and apply the CBT marking scheme — you’ll have a raw score well before the result.
Score = Correct − (Wrong × 1/3)
Each question carries 1 mark and one-third of a mark is deducted for every wrong answer; unattempted questions score zero. RRB shortlists on normalised marks, so treat your raw score as an estimate.
CBT-2 uses the same scheme on 120 questions. Compare your score with the minimum qualifying marks: UR/EWS 40%, OBC-NCL/SC 30%, ST 25%.

From answer key to your next stage
A raw score is only part of the story — shortlisting is on normalised marks within your RRB. Whatever your key says, the next CBT doesn’t wait: keep preparing on JobSafal.
