Chennai Group D Normalised Cut-off Marks

CategoryNormalised Cut-off Marks
UR (Unreserved)80.75601
SC (Scheduled Caste)72.17547
ST (Scheduled Tribe)62.85505
OBC (Other Backward Classes)82.79168
EWS (Economically Weaker Sections)68.23448

Your own normalised marks are on your score card, not in this notice, so compare them with the cut-off for your category. Normalised marks are CBT marks adjusted so that candidates who wrote the exam on different days can be compared fairly. One thing stands out: the OBC cut-off (82.79168) is 2.03567 higher than the UR cut-off (80.75601). The notice does not say why.

Each board sets its own cut-off for its own candidates, so use this for reference only. Chennai has the highest UR cut-off and the highest OBC cut-off of the boards that printed one, and the lowest SC, ST and EWS cut-offs of the four. Figures for the other three boards come from our own posts on them.

Shortlist Details

PointDetails
Total shortlisted1,731 candidates (the notice prints this total itself)
How candidates were pickedThe board called three times the number of vacancies in each community, leaving out PwBD, ExSM and CCAA candidates. In plain words, about three candidates are called for every vacancy.
List orderRoll numbers run in ascending order across each row, not in order of merit, so a roll number that comes later in the list is not a lower rank
Who is not on this listPersons with benchmark disabilities (PwBD), ex-servicemen (ExSM) and course completed Act apprentices (CCAA, people who finished railway apprenticeship training under the Apprentices Act). They do not take the PET, so their roll numbers are not here. The Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs) of the zonal railways will publish a separate list for them.
Who runs the next stagesRRC Chennai, Southern Railway, which will send every notice about the PET, document verification, medical exam and panel for RRB Chennai candidates

  3. To see your own percentile score (your rank as a percentage of candidates) and normalised marks, log in on the score card link of the RRB website with your registration number and date of birth in DDMMYYYY form. The link goes live on or before 16.11.2026 (5:00 PM).
  4. Compare your normalised marks with the cut-off for your category in the table above.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not treat this list as a job offer. The notice says your place is provisional and can be cancelled at any stage.
  • Do not pay anyone who promises you a job. The notice warns against touts, and the whole process is computerised and based on merit.
  • Do not look for PwBD, ex-servicemen or CCAA candidates here. Their roll numbers are not on this list because they do not take the PET.
  • Do not wait for a letter by post. The e-call letter is sent by SMS and email to your registered mobile number and email address, so keep both working.
  • Check your roll number digit by digit. One wrong digit in the search box can make you think you are not on the list.
  • Save your score card before 01.12.2026 (11:55 PM), when the link closes.
