Cut-Off Marks, Merit List & Next Steps

The provisional merit list has been prepared strictly on the basis of the aggregate percentage of marks obtained in Class 10th and ITI examinations as entered by candidates in their online applications. SECR has not published separate trade-wise or category-wise cut-off marks in the notice; the list represents approximately six times the vacancy count per trade as per standard provisional-list practice. Since this is a provisional list, the railway administration reserves the right to modify or cancel any name found to contain typographical or factual errors. Candidates whose names appear in the list must treat their selection as tentative until document verification is successfully completed.

The immediate next step is document verification scheduled trade-wise from 3 August 2026 to 7 August 2026 at the Sr. DPO Office, DRM Complex, Bilaspur (C.G.). Candidates must report by 10:00 AM on their respective trade date with all original documents including Medical Fitness Certificate, Central Caste Certificate (if applicable), Aadhaar and PAN card photocopies, centralized bank passbook photocopy, four recent passport-size photographs, written self-declaration copy, and PWD certificate (if applicable). Missing even one document will lead to cancellation of candidature. After successful verification, training is expected to commence within a day or two, so candidates should arrange accommodation accordingly and be prepared to stay.
