🛑 BIG UPDATE: RRB Group D Exam Postponed
Here is the most current information as of November 4, 2025:
The RRB Group D Computer-Based Test (CBT), which was officially scheduled to be held from November 17, 2025, to December 31, 2025, has been put on hold.
Why is the Exam on Hold?
The exam process has been paused due to a legal matter.
* A contempt petition was filed regarding the recruitment process.
* The case was moved from the Delhi High Court to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).
* The CAT has instructed the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) to suspend further proceedings until a final verdict is declared.
A crucial hearing and final verdict from the CAT are expected today, November 4, 2025. The final exam dates—whether they proceed as planned or are postponed—depend entirely on this court decision.
❓ What Happens Next? (New Exam Date)
As of now, the exam is officially postponed until the CAT gives its final decision.
* If the verdict is in favor of the RRB: The board might try to stick to the original schedule of November 17, or they may release a slightly delayed schedule.
* If the verdict requires changes: The RRB will announce a completely new exam schedule.
Candidates are advised to stop relying on the old "November 17" date and wait for a fresh, official notice from the RRB.
