RRB JE Answer Key 2026 Released: Check and Raise Objections Before Deadline
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially published the answer key and response sheets for the Junior Engineer (JE) CBT-1 examination 2026. This release is a crucial development for the thousands of candidates who appeared for this recruitment drive, which aims to fill 2,585 vacancies. With the answer key now available, applicants can verify their responses and, if needed, challenge any answers they believe to be incorrect.
Exam Overview and Key Dates
The CBT-1 written examination for the Railway Junior Engineer posts was conducted successfully on 19, 20, and 25 February 2026. Candidates who participated in the exam can now access their question papers, recorded responses, and the official answer key online. The viewing window opened on 5 March 2026 at 4:00 PM and will remain active until 11 March 2026 at 11:59 PM.
During this period, candidates have the opportunity to review each question and compare their answers against the officially released key. If discrepancies are found, objections can be submitted through the online portal within the same timeframe.
Objection Submission Fee
To file an objection against any question in the answer key, candidates are required to pay a nominal fee of ₹50 per question, along with applicable bank charges. The payment can be made using various digital modes, including RuPay cards, credit cards, UPI, and net banking facilities.
It is important to note that if a candidate’s objection is found to be valid after thorough review, the fee paid for that particular question will be refunded. This ensures that genuine concerns raised by candidates are addressed without financial burden.
Important Deadline for Objections
The final date for submitting objections is 11 March 2026, until 11:59 PM. Any objections received after this deadline will not be entertained under any circumstances. Candidates are strongly advised to complete their review of the answer key and submit their objections well before the cutoff time to avoid last-minute technical issues or delays.
