The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has officially released the RRB Group D Exam Date 2025 for Level 1 posts under CEN 08/2024. According to the schedule available on the RRB Bhubaneswar official website, the RRB Group D CBT Exam 2025 is expected to take place in multiple phases from 17th November to 31st December 2025.
However, the final confirmation of the exam dates depends on the court case hearing scheduled for 4th November 2025, and the official decision is likely to be announced soon.
RRB Group D Exam Date 2025
The RRB Group D Exam 2025 was initially scheduled to take place from 17th November to 31st December 2025. However, the Delhi High Court issued a stay order following a contempt petition, pausing all related activities. The case was then transferred to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), which instructed the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) to suspend further actions until a final judgment is declared.
Candidates across the country are eagerly waiting for the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) to announce its decision regarding the RRB Group D Exam 2025. The verdict, earlier expected on 30th October 2025, has now been postponed to 4th November 2025 (Tuesday).
Aspirants are strongly advised to follow only official RRB updates and avoid misinformation spread through social media or unofficial channels. Once the legal matter concludes, the Railway Recruitment Board will release the final confirmed exam dates on its official website. Candidates preparing for the RRB Group D 2025 exam should regularly check the official portal for the latest and most accurate updates.
Is the RRB Group D Exam Postponed Again?
Yes, the RRB Group D Exam 2025 has been postponed once again due to the ongoing RRB Group D court case. The exam, which was earlier planned to take place between 17th November and December 2025, will now be conducted only after the CAT (Central Administrative Tribunal) announces its verdict regarding the exam schedule.
Candidates are strongly advised to keep visiting the official Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) website for verified information and the updated RRB Group D 2025 exam dates once they are released.
