RRB Group D Exam 2022: Board withdraws changes; issues new criteria for single exam

RRB Group D criteria cancelled

RRB Group D changes introduced

To conduct exam in two stages

Discontinued two-stage CBT. Single-stage CBT exam will only be conducted

Candidates belonging to EWS category have to produce certificates issued before April 12, 2019.

Now, candidates belonging to the EWS category will be able to submit the certificates issued even after date of notification will also be considered a valid document.

The board introduced a new calculation of normalized marks for multi-session papers

Normalization of marks will now be based on the percentile-based method.

Based on the performance of candidates in CBT subject to their qualifying in PET, candidates 1.05 times (i.e. number of extra candidates to be called for document verification shall be 5% beyond the number of notified vacancies) the number of vacancies will be called for Document Verification as per their merit and options

Based on the performance of candidates in CBT subject to their qualifying in PET, the number of candidates to be called for document verification shall henceforth be equal to the number of notified vacancies (i.e. in the ratio of 1:1).

Additional candidates will, however, be considered for empanelment only if there is a shortfall in empanelment from the merit list or/and as replacement against the shortfall on account of not joining of recommended candidates in the working post or/and any other special requirements.

In case of shortfall in empanelment of candidates or other exigencies, RRB/RRC reserves the right to utilize the candidates down the merit list if required, as per the merit and option of the candidates. This however will not confer any vested right on such candidates to be considered for appointment.

In case of two or more candidates securing same marks, their merit position shall be determined by age criteria i.e., older person shall be placed at higher merit and in case age being same, then alphabetical order (A to Z) of the name shall be taken into account to break the tie

In case of two or more candidates securing same normalized percentile score , their merit position shall be determined by age criteria i.e., older person shall be placed at higher merit and in case age being same, then alphabetical order (A to Z) of the name shall be taken into account to break the tie.
