RRB Graduate Answer Key 2026 Released

The wider picture

The RRB NTPC CBT 1 exam for graduate-level posts was successfully conducted across multiple test centres nationwide from March 16 to March 27, 2026. This examination is a crucial step in the recruitment process for various positions under the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB).

In a significant development, the RRB has released the provisional answer key and candidate response sheets for the NTPC CBT 1 Graduate-level examination on April 6, 2026. Candidates can access and download their answer key from their respective official RRB regional websites starting at 4 pm.

As part of the process, candidates who identify discrepancies in the answers can challenge them until 11:55 pm on April 12, 2026. A fee of Rs 50 per question is required to submit a challenge against the answer key. Payments for objections can be made via RuPay cards, credit cards, UPI, or net banking.

The RRB strictly advises candidates to submit their challenges before the deadline, as no requests will be entertained post-April 12. If an objection is verified and found correct, the fee will be refunded to the candidate’s original payment account.

The objection period for the answer key is from April 6 to April 12, 2026. The final answer key will be prepared after reviewing all submitted objections, and the decision taken by the RRBs after considering the objections will be final.

Candidates must carry the original Aadhaar card or a printed e-verified Aadhaar for biometric verification at exam centres. The complete procedure for raising objections has been published on the official websites, ensuring transparency in the recruitment process.

The final answer key will be used to prepare the results for the next stage of the recruitment process, marking an important milestone for candidates awaiting their results.
