RRB Isolated Categories Cut Off 2026 Details
Unlike a single overall cut off, the RRB Isolated Categories cut off is released with reference to the post, the Railway unit/RRB zone and the candidate's category. There is no single national cut off for all posts. Candidates scoring equal to or above the cut off for their post, zone and category have been shortlisted for the next stage.
The cut off covers posts such as Chief Law Assistant, Junior Translator (Hindi), Staff and Welfare Inspector and other posts under CEN 08/2025.
Cut Off Marks (RRB Ajmer)
The figures below were for the Ajmer region in a secondary source on the result day. A dash means no figure was listed for that category. The full zone-wise list is not available in the sources checked, so verify every figure against the official cut off PDF of your RRB.
| Post / Test | UR | SC | ST | OBC | EWS |

Why the RRB Isolated Categories Cut Off Varies
- Number of vacancies: posts with fewer vacancies can be more competitive.
- Number of candidates: more candidates for a post and zone can raise the shortlisting score.
- Difficulty level of the CBT: it affects the overall distribution of marks.
- Candidate performance: stronger performance in a post or zone can push the cut off up.
- Category-wise competition: the cut off is prepared separately for each applicable category.
- Normalisation: since the exam is held in shifts, normalised marks are relevant for shortlisting.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Check the cut off of your own RRB zone, post and category, not another zone's.
- Do not rely on unofficial or "expected" figures when checking your status.
- Keep your roll number, registration details and scorecard ready.
- Check your regional RRB website regularly for next-stage notices.
