RRB JE Answer Key 2026 – Overview

RRB JE Answer Key 2026 – Important Dates

The notice does not state an activation time of day for 11 November 2026 — only that the link is active from that date. RRB advises candidates to raise objections well before 17 November 2026, because after the closing time no representation on the questions, options or keys is entertained.

RRB JE Answer Key 2026 – Objection Fee and Refund Rule

Pay only for genuine errors. Because every challenged question costs Rs 50 plus bank charges, first calculate the expected score from the key (see the table below) and challenge only the questions where the key is clearly wrong and the marks at stake justify the fee. A correct objection gets the fee back; a wrong one does not.

How to Download RRB JE Answer Key 2026

1. Visit the official website of the regional RRB through which you applied (all RRB websites are listed at rrb.indianrailways.gov.in), or go directly to the objection portal at rrb.digialm.com.
2. Open the link for viewing the CBT-I question paper, response and answer key for CEN 04/2026.
3. Log in with the registration details the portal asks for (registration number and date of birth).
4. View the question paper, your recorded responses and the provisional answer key.
5. Download or save the response sheet and the key for your own record before the window closes on 17 November 2026.

One login, three documents. The same link shows the question paper, the responses you marked and the provisional key — compare all three together, because an objection needs the question number, the option you chose and the key answer, and the portal asks for the justification in the same step.

5. Submit the objection and save the payment receipt and the objection acknowledgement.
6. Complete all objections before 17 November 2026 at 23:59 hrs. No objection is accepted after the window closes, and the RRBs’ decision is final and binding.

RRB JE CBT-1 Score Calculation 2026

CBT-I is common to all posts and screening in nature: 100 questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes (120 minutes for candidates using a scribe). Negative marking is one-third of the marks allotted to that question for every wrong answer.

Expected score formula. Expected score = (number of correct answers x 1) − (number of wrong answers x 1/3). Count the correct and wrong responses against the provisional key first, then decide which objections are worth the Rs 50 fee — a question that is already counted wrong costs the same fee as one that is counted right, so challenge only where the key itself is wrong.
