RRB Group D Exam: Court's decision on Railway Group D exam, 10th pass is eligible for the exam, will there be any change in the exam date?
An important update has arrived regarding the RRB Group D recruitment. The court has issued its verdict on the ongoing court case, clearing the way for the exam. According to the decision by the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), 10th-pass candidates will now be eligible to appear for this recruitment exam.
What was the matter?
Let us inform you that the eligibility criteria for this recruitment (RRB Group D Recruitment 2025) were changed. Previously, it was required to have passed 10th grade and an ITI, but later it was changed to simply passing 10th grade or ITI. A petition was filed in the court arguing that the eligibility criteria cannot be changed in the main notification after the short notification was issued. However, the court rejected this appeal, declaring 10th-pass candidates eligible for the exam.
Exam Date Change Possible
It should be noted that the RRB was scheduled to conduct the CBT exam for this recruitment from November 17th to the end of December 2025. For this purpose, candidates' city slips were to be issued on November 7th or 8th, while admit cards were to be issued four days before the exam. Due to the lack of city slips, the exam is unlikely to begin on the scheduled dates. Consequently, changes to the exam dates are possible. However, the department has not yet decided on the exam date; details will be updated here as soon as information is shared.
Exam to be held for over 32,000 posts
A total of 32,438 posts are to be filled through this recruitment drive. Selection will be based on a written exam and a physical test. Candidates will be asked 100 multiple-choice questions in the CBT exam. The question paper will include 30 questions from Mathematics, 30 from General Intelligence and Reasoning, 25 from General Science, and 15 from General Awareness. Candidates will be given 90 minutes to complete the question paper.
