RRC NFR Group D Cut-Off 2026
The released cut-off contains normalised marks, which are calculated to account for differences in the difficulty level of question papers used across multiple CBT shifts. Candidates should not confuse the normalised cut-off with the minimum qualifying percentage prescribed for the examination.
Separate cut-off details may be provided for UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, Ex-Servicemen and PwBD candidates, wherever applicable. Candidates must check the official PDF against their category and recruitment zone instead of relying on cut-offs published for another railway zone.
Meeting the cut-off does not constitute final selection. It makes a candidate eligible for further consideration, subject to the published shortlist, Physical Efficiency Test requirements, document verification and medical fitness standards.
