If you have been waiting for the latest railway job updates in 2026, the big news is finally here. The Railway Recruitment Board has released the PET result for Group D Level 1 posts under CEN 08/2024. A total of 63,295 candidates have cleared the Computer Based Test and are now called for the Physical Efficiency Test starting 29 July 2026. This is a huge moment for lakhs of aspirants who sat for the exam between November 2025 and February 2026.
The Indian railway recruitment process is known for its transparency, and this time is no different. The result has been published zone-wise on all 21 regional RRB websites. If your roll number appears in the PDF, you will face the PET between 29 July and 1 August 2026. The test is qualifying in nature, which means the marks you score in PET will not be added to your final merit list. However, failing the PET means you are out of the race even if you topped the CBT.
For candidates who have passed their 10th standard and dream of a secure central government job with a starting salary of Rs 18,000 under the 7th Pay Commission, this is the most important week. Below is every single detail you need about the result, the PET schedule, physical standards, and what comes next.

Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) are exempted from PET as per railway rules. However, they must produce valid disability certificates during document verification.
What Happens After PET
Once you clear the Physical Efficiency Test, you are not done yet. The next and final major stage is Document Verification (DV).
During DV, railway officials will check your original documents against the information you provided in the online application. The documents usually required include:
10th class mark sheet and certificate (as proof of age and education)
Caste certificate (if applicable)
Income and asset certificate (for EWS candidates)
PwBD certificate (if applicable)
Ex-servicemen documents (if applicable)
NOC from current employer (if employed in government service)
Aadhaar card and recent passport-size photographs
After DV, the final merit list will be prepared based only on CBT marks. PET is purely qualifying. The 63,295 candidates who pass PET will be ranked by their CBT scores, and the top 32,438 candidates will get appointment letters.
CBT Qualifying Marks (For Reference)
If you are curious about how tough the competition was, here are the minimum qualifying marks for the CBT stage.
Category
Minimum Qualifying Marks
UR / EWS
40%
OBC
30%
SC
30%
ST
25%
These are just the minimum marks. Because the vacancies are limited, the actual cut-off to qualify for PET was much higher than these minimum percentages.
If you have qualified for PET, well done. If not, or if you want backup options, here are active railway and central government vacancies you can apply for right now.
