RRB Section Controller Result 2026: CEN 03/2026 Cut Off, CBAT

The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have not yet declared the Section Controller CBT result under CEN 03/2026. The recruitment is for 119 Section Controller posts across zonal railways. The computer-based test was held in October 2026 (12 and 13 October, as per the schedule reported at the time), and as of 3 November 2026 no result or shortlist for the next stage, the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), has been published. When it comes, each RRB will post a PDF of shortlisted roll numbers on its own website.

RRB Section Controller Recruitment 2026: Overview

When Will the Section Controller Result Be Declared?

No result date has been announced. RRBs normally publish a provisional answer key with an objection window after the CBT, and the result follows once objections are settled. Dates you may see on coaching websites are estimates. The result will appear on each regional RRB website; it is not sent by post or email.

CBT Exam Pattern Under CEN 03/2026

The official notification sets out a single-stage CBT:

• Duration: 120 minutes
• Negative marking: one-third of a mark for every wrong answer

Minimum Qualifying Marks in the CBT

The notification fixes these minimum percentages for being considered at the next stage. They are not the cut-off. The actual cut-off depends on how many candidates are shortlisted for the CBAT against the vacancies in each RRB and category, and is usually higher.

For PwBD candidates, the notification allows a relaxation of up to 2 marks if enough candidates are not available to fill their reserved vacancies.

What decides the cut-off

• Vacancies in your RRB and category
• Number of candidates who took the CBT
• Difficulty of your shift: the notification provides for normalisation of marks when the CBT is held in multiple shifts
• The number of candidates RRBs decide to call for the CBAT

Any “expected cut-off” published before the result is a guess, not an official figure.

CBAT and Final Merit

Candidates shortlisted from the CBT take the Computer Based Aptitude Test. Under the notification:

• A minimum T-score of 42 is required in each test battery. Failing any one battery means the candidate is out.
• No relaxation in the CBAT qualifying score is allowed for any category.
• There is no negative marking in the CBAT.
• The CBAT is offered in English and Hindi only.

Only candidates who qualify in the CBAT are placed in the merit list. Document verification and the medical exam follow for candidates called on merit.

Medical Standard and Document Verification

Candidates who clear the CBAT and are called for document verification need to meet the A-2 medical standard set in the notification. This includes distant vision of 6/9 in each eye without glasses, near vision of Sn 0.6 in each eye without glasses, and colour, binocular, night and myopic vision tests. Candidates who have had LASIK or any other surgery to correct refractive error are not eligible, and a medical certificate in the prescribed format has to be produced at the CBAT stage.

For document verification, keep originals of your degree certificate and mark sheets, Class 10 certificate for date of birth, and category certificates ready. OBC-NCL candidates need a certificate issued on or after 1 April 2026, and EWS candidates need an income and asset certificate for 2025-26, as specified in the notification. Missing originals on the verification date can cost a candidate the post.

How to Check the RRB Section Controller Result

1. Open the official website of the RRB you applied to (for example rrbcdg.gov.in for RRB Chandigarh).
2. Look for the CEN 03/2026 Section Controller CBT result or CBAT shortlist notice.
3. Download the PDF of shortlisted roll numbers.
4. Search for your roll number using Ctrl+F on a computer, or “Find in page” on a phone.
5. If your roll number is listed, watch the same website for the CBAT schedule and city intimation slip.

Individual scorecards, when released, are accessed through the candidate login on the RRB portal with your registration number and date of birth.

Important Points for Candidates

• Use only official RRB websites. RRBs warn candidates against touts and fake websites offering jobs or results.
• Keep your registration number and the email and mobile number used in the application handy.
• Shortlisting for the CBAT does not guarantee selection.
• Watch your RRB website for the CBAT mock test link, which RRBs have provided in earlier Section Controller recruitments.
