RRB Technician Grade III 2026 Exam Pattern (CEN 02/2026)
| Section | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 25 | 25 |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | 25 | 25 |
| General Science | 40 | 40 |
| General Awareness | 10 | 10 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
Marks Calculation, Normalisation and Objections
Raw score = correct answers - (wrong answers / 3). Example: 80 correct and 12 wrong = 80 - 4 = 76 / 100; 70 correct and 20 wrong = 70 - 6.67 = 63.33 / 100.
Because the exam ran over several shifts, RRB normalises marks across shifts, so your final score may differ from the raw score. Minimum qualifying marks: UR/EWS 40%, OBC-NCL/SC 30%, ST 25%.
Objection window
Objections for Grade 3 are raised only on the official RRB Grade 3 answer-key login, which went live on 15 October 2026. Use the closing time and fee printed in the Grade 3 notice on your regional RRB website.
For reference, the Grade 1 Signal notice dated 15 October 2026 keeps its window open until 22 October 2026, 11:55 PM IST, at Rs 50 per question plus bank charges, refunded if the objection is found correct.

Expected cut-off
In CEN 02/2025, the UR cut-offs published so far for Grade III trades mostly fell between about 77 and 88 normalised marks (the full range ran from about 56 to 96, depending on RRB and trade). 2026 cut-offs will depend on vacancies, the paper's difficulty and normalisation.
