RRB Technician Grade 3 Result 2026: Zone Cut-offs, Merit List, Scorecard and Next Steps

Quick answer

The Railway Recruitment Boards have declared the result of the Technician Grade 3 recruitment (CEN 02/2025), with zone-wise shortlists and cut-offs. The computer-based test was held on 6, 9, 10 and 13 March 2026 for 6,055 vacancies. The result came out in the last week of May 2026. Shortlisted candidates now go to document verification and a medical examination. Each regional RRB publishes its own cut-off notice, so check the notice for your zone.

Result timeline

How cut-offs work across zones

Each railway zone sets its own cut-off, because the number of vacancies and the candidate pool differ from one zone to another. A category cut-off in one zone can be lower or higher than the same category in another. Do not compare your mark with a national figure. Use only the cut-off for your zone and category.

Reading your scorecard

The scorecard shows your marks in the CBT, your category and your zone. Check three things:

1. Your roll number and name, exactly as on the admit card.
2. Your zone and the post you applied for.
3. Your marks against the cut-off for your zone and category.

If any detail is wrong, raise it with the zone's RRB before the document stage, because a mismatch at verification can cost you the post.

What happens after the result

Document verification. You bring original certificates for education, age, category and identity. Keep photocopies of each, and carry your admit card and the result letter.

Medical examination. Railways use a standard medical test. Candidates who are not fit for the technician role can be rejected, so keep up a healthy routine before the medical.

Final appointment. Successful candidates receive an appointment letter and are posted to a unit. Keep your documents in a single folder, since they are needed again at joining.

Eligibility basics

Technician Grade 3 posts ask for a Class 10 pass with an ITI or a diploma in the trade, as set out in the notice. Age is counted as on the cut-off date in the notice, with relaxation for reserved categories. Check the notice for your trade and zone.

Documents to keep ready

• Class 10 and ITI or diploma marksheets
• Date of birth proof
• Caste certificate, if claiming reservation
• Domicile or residence proof, if the zone asks for it
• Photo identity proof
• Photographs and signature in the size the notice gives

How to check your status

Open the official website of your zone's RRB, go to the CEN 02/2025 section, and download the result notice. Use the roll number and the other details from your admit card. Do not use unofficial sites to check your status or to download a scorecard.

Common mistakes

• Comparing your mark with a national cut-off. Cut-offs are set by zone and category.
• Missing the document verification date. The zone sends the schedule, so keep your email and phone reachable.
• Carrying copies only. Bring originals and a set of photocopies.

Who this result matters to

This guide is for candidates from the Technician Grade 3 CBT who want to know where their result stands, how the zone cut-off works, and what the next stages involve. It is also useful for anyone planning to apply for the next Technician notification, since the same steps and documents apply.

Reading the merit list step by step

1. Find your zone's merit list, not the national list.
2. Find your category row, and read the cut-off for that row.
3. Check your roll number on the list, in the order the zone has printed it.
4. Note the rank or position the list gives, and compare it with the number of vacancies in your zone.
5. Keep a screenshot and a PDF of the list page, in case the page changes later.

A shortlisted candidate is one whose marks meet the cut-off for the category and zone. The final selection then depends on document verification and the medical test.

Why document verification can end a candidacy

Verification compares your original documents with the details you entered in the application form. A wrong spelling in a name, a date of birth that does not match the Class 10 certificate, or a category certificate that is not in the right format can each lead to a rejection. Check every field of your form against your certificates before the verification day.

Medical standards in brief

Technician posts require normal vision, hearing and general health, with the standards set in the railway medical rules. Candidates with a condition that could affect safe work on the railway can be found unfit. Read the medical section of the notice, and if you have a condition, carry the medical report from your doctor.

Pay and career after joining

Technician Grade 3 posts are at the entry level of the railway technical cadre, and pay follows the pay level in the notice. Promotion to higher technician grades depends on departmental rules and examinations. Check the service rules before you join if promotion matters to your plan.

Common questions candidates ask

Can I see my CBT answer sheet? Check the zone's notice. Viewing and challenge windows, where they exist, are announced by the board.

What if my name is not on the shortlist? Check the zone's notice for a revised list or a reserve list, and keep your documents ready.

Is the cut-off the same for all zones? No. Each zone sets its own cut-off by category and vacancy.

Do I need to travel to the zone for verification? Verification is done at the zone's office or the venue the notice names. Read the schedule.

Preparing for the next stage

If you are waiting for the document or medical stage, keep your certificates in order and your fitness routine going. Revise the trade basics from your ITI or diploma, since some zones ask trade questions at the interview or verification stage.
