Beware of Fake Notices
Recently, unverified notices have circulated on social media and Telegram, claiming that the exam will now take place from 4th January to 17th March 2026.
This information is not available on any official RRB website. Aspirants should treat such news as false and rely only on official RRB sources for accurate updates.
Why the RRB Group D Exam 2025 Has Been Postponed
The exam, originally scheduled from 17th November to 31st December 2025, was put on hold after the Delhi High Court issued a stay order following a contempt petition. The case was then transferred to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), which instructed RRBs to suspend all exam-related activities until the final verdict.
The CAT’s decision, initially expected on 30th October 2025, has now been rescheduled for 4th November 2025. Candidates are advised to follow official RRB updates only and avoid misinformation from unofficial sources. Once the legal matter is resolved, the final exam dates will be announced on the official portal.
Is the RRB Group D Exam Postponed Again?
Yes, the exam has been postponed due to the ongoing court case. The exam will only be conducted after the CAT issues its final verdict regarding the schedule.
Aspirants should frequently check the official RRB website for verified information and updates on the exam dates.
