Summary
- RRB Group D Exam originally scheduled for 17 Nov - 31 Dec 2025
- Delhi High Court imposed stay order after contempt petition filed
- CAT directed RRBs to withhold proceedings until final verdict

As of 4 November 2025, the fate of the RRB Group D Exam 2025 remains uncertain. The exam was originally scheduled to be held from 17 November to 31 December 2025, but a recent development has led to a delay.
A stay order was imposed by the Delhi High Court after a contempt petition was filed. This prompted the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) to direct the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) to withhold any further proceedings until a final verdict is delivered. The CAT's decision is expected on Tuesday, 7 November 2025.
In the meantime, a notice has gone viral on social media, suggesting that the RRB Group D exam date has been rescheduled to 4 January 2026 to 17 March 2026. However, the RRB has not officially confirmed this information, and candidates are advised to rely only on authentic notifications from the authorities.
The RRB Group D exam pattern for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) remains unchanged, with 100 multiple-choice questions covering Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Science, and General Awareness & Current Affairs. The exam duration is 90 minutes (120 minutes for PwBD candidates with a scribe), and there will be a one-third negative marking for every wrong answer.
