RRB JE CBT-1 Answer Key 2026 — objection window 11 to 17 November 2026

The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have released the provisional answer key for the Junior Engineer (JE), Depot Material Superintendent (DMS) and Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant (CMA) recruitment under Centralised Employment Notice (CEN) No. 04/2026. Candidates can view their question papers, recorded responses and the provisional answer keys, and raise objections, through the link on the RRB websites from 11 November 2026 to 17 November 2026. The window closes on 17 November 2026 at 11:59 PM.

Verification basis — read this first

The official RRB notice itself (CEN No. 04/2026, dated 10 November 2026, signed by the Chairpersons, Railway Recruitment Boards) was read in full from a byte-faithful mirror copy of the official PDF hosted at files.govtjobsalert.in — the document is the verbatim Government of India / Ministry of Railways / Railway Recruitment Boards notice. The dates and fee below come from that notice. Note that some aggregator articles are stale on this item and still say the key is awaited or expected by 12 November — do not use those dates.

Objection fee

The objection fee is Rs. 50 per question, plus applicable bank service charges, payable by Debit Card, Credit Card, UPI or Net Banking. The fee (after deduction of bank charges) is refunded to the payment account if the objection is found correct.

About the exam

CBT-I was held on 27 October 2026, 28 October 2026 and 2 November 2026 (the last date was the rescheduled exam for affected candidates). The recruitment covers 4,487 posts in all, revised from 4,029 by Amendment/Corrigendum No. 2 dated 4 November 2026, which added 458 JE/P.Way and JE/S&T/Signal posts. CBT-I had 100 questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes (120 minutes with a scribe), with negative marking of one-third of the marks per wrong answer. The minimum qualifying marks, as per the CEN, are UR/EWS 40%, OBC-NCL/SC 30% and ST 25% — those qualifying marks come from the CEN itself, not from the answer-key notice.

How to raise an objection

Log in through the answer-key/objection link on the RRB websites (the login is hosted on the RRB Digialm portal) with your credentials, view your question paper, recorded responses and the provisional answer key, select the question you want to challenge, state your reason and pay the fee of Rs. 50 per question plus bank charges. Submit before the window closes on 17 November 2026 at 11:59 PM — objections after that time are not accepted.
