How to Calculate Your RRB Technician Score from the Answer Key

You can estimate your raw score using the marking scheme below.

ResponseMarks
Correct answer+1
Wrong answer-1/3 (negative marking)
Unattempted question0

Formula: Total score = (Correct answers × 1) − (Wrong answers × 1/3)

Example: A candidate who gets 65 answers right and 15 wrong scores 65 − (15 × 1/3) = 65 − 5 = 60 marks.

Because the exam ran over several days, your final marks may differ from this estimate if normalization is applied. Treat the figure as an estimate only. The qualifying marks and cut-off for CEN 02/2026 have not been published in the sources used.

RRB Technician Selection Process and What Happens After the Answer Key

The selection stages in the sources are the CBT, Document Verification and Medical Examination. After the objection window closes, subject experts review the challenges. RRB then publishes the final answer key along with the result and category-wise cut-off marks.

The official result date has not been announced. Some third-party websites expect the result in November 2026, but this is not confirmed by RRB.

Do Not Confuse CEN 02/2026 with CEN 02/2025

Search results for Technician answer keys often mix two different cycles. CEN 02/2025 had its CBT in March 2026, and its objection windows have already closed. This page covers CEN 02/2026, whose CBT was held from 6 to 9 October 2026. Check the CEN number on the login page before you compare your answers.

Important Instructions for Candidates

  • Check that the CEN number on the portal is 02/2026 and that the exam dates match yours.
  • Download and save your response sheet and question paper as soon as you log in.
  • Read the official notice for the objection fee, last date and time before you start an objection.
  • Raise objections only for questions where you can explain why another option is correct.
  • Keep the payment receipt for every objection you submit.
  • Use only official RRB websites for login and payment. RRBs do not need any payment for viewing the answer key.
  • If the login page is slow or not opening, wait and try again later or use your regional RRB website.
  • Your estimated score is not your final score. Final marks depend on the final answer key and any normalization.
