The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) have officially released the highly anticipated Answer Key and candidate response sheets for the Technician Grade III examination. This examination was recently conducted on the 6th, 9th, 10th, and 13th of March 2026 under the Centralised Employment Notification (CEN) No. 02/2025. Candidates who appeared for the Computer Based Test (CBT) can now log in to the official RRB application portal to cross-check their answers, calculate their estimated scores, and evaluate their performance. This massive recruitment drive was initiated to fill a total of 6,238 tentative vacancies, which includes 183 posts for Technician Grade I Signal and 6,055 posts for Technician Grade III across various Indian Railway zones.
The release of the provisional answer key is a crucial step towards ensuring complete transparency in the railway recruitment process. Candidates are strongly advised to download their respective response sheets and match them against the official key. If any candidate finds a discrepancy or an incorrect answer marked by the board, they will be provided a brief window to raise official objections online by paying a nominal prescribed fee per question. Once the objection window closes, the board will review the submissions and release the final answer key, which will form the basis of the upcoming final results and the subsequent Document Verification (DV) stage.
