Why Was the RRB Group D Result 2026 Delayed?
The RRB Group D CBT Result 2026 was originally expected to be released in April 2026. However, on March 26, 2026, the Telangana High Court issued an interim stay order (WP No. 789/2026) directing the Railway Recruitment Board not to release the result until the next hearing, which was scheduled for April 15, 2026. The case involves a dispute related to the marking formula for apprentice candidates, where Apprentice (CCA/NAC) holders get 20% horizontal reservation and their final merit is calculated using a combined formula of CBT marks (2/3) + Apprentice marks (1/3). The petitioner raised questions about the Directorate General of Training’s (DGT) role in framing recruitment rules. If the court lifts the stay after the April 15 hearing, candidates can expect the result to be released between April 20 and April 30, 2026.
