RRB CBT Group D Exam 2025: The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has released the schedule for the RRB Group D Recruitment Exam 2025. The Computer-Based Test (CBT) for Level-1 posts will start on November 17, 2025, and continue through December in multiple phases to manage the large number of applicants. As per the RRB notice, Aadhaar-linked biometric verification will be carried out at exam centres. Candidates are required to bring their original Aadhaar card or a printout of the e-verified Aadhaar card.
Those who have not completed Aadhaar verification earlier must log in with their credentials on rrbapply.gov.in to authenticate their identity. Applicants who have already verified their Aadhaar during the application must ensure their Aadhaar remains in an unlocked status in the UIDAI system before reaching the centre to avoid any issues. This recruitment drive is being conducted to fill a total of 32,438 vacancies across different departments of Indian Railways.

Computer-Based Test (CBT): The first stage will be the CBT, which will assess candidates’ knowledge of Mathematics, General Science, General Awareness, and Reasoning.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET): Those who qualify in the CBT will have to clear the PET to prove their physical fitness as per RRB standards.
