RRB Station Master Cut Off – Previous Cycle Details

RRB Station Master Minimum Qualifying Marks

Minimum qualifying marks are the lowest percentage a candidate must score to be considered at all. They are the same across every RRB zone. Actual cut offs are much higher, because shortlisting is done by merit against vacancies.

PwBD candidates may get a relaxation of 2 marks where there is a shortage of candidates.

RRB Station Master CBT 1 Cut Off (Zone-Wise) – Previous

Bhopal had the highest Station Master CBT 1 cut off at 88.22 for UR, and Guwahati the lowest at 73.42. The table shows the normalised CBT 1 marks (out of 100) of the last candidate shortlisted for CBT 2 under CEN 06/2025. These are shortlisting marks, not final selection marks.

“–” means no Station Master vacancy in that category or the figure was not published.

RRB Station Master CBT 2 Cut Off for CBAT Shortlisting – Previous

After CBT 2, Station Master candidates were shortlisted for the aptitude test (CBAT) on their normalised CBT 2 marks. UR cut offs ranged from 70.94 (Guwahati) to 81.90 (Bilaspur, CR). The CBT 2 exam was held on 10 July 2026 and its cut off was released on 27 August 2026.

CBAT has its own qualifying standard: candidates must score at least 42 in each test battery, with no relaxation for any category. Final merit for Station Master is drawn up from CBT 2 and CBAT scores together (70% and 30% weightage respectively).

RRB Thiruvananthapuram Station Master Cut Off (Kerala) – Previous

RRB Thiruvananthapuram had 27 Station Master vacancies under CEN 06/2025, and a UR candidate needed 77.80 in CBT 1 and 75.50 in CBT 2 to reach CBAT. Its cut offs sit in the lower half of all zones, especially for SC and ST.

The Thiruvananthapuram ST cut off of 60.46 was the lowest Station Master ST cut off among all zones in CBT 1.

How the Station Master Cut Off Is Decided

Station Master selection has four stages, and a separate cut off applies at each:

1. CBT 1 (screening): 100 questions in 90 minutes — General Awareness 40, Mathematics 30, Reasoning 30. Candidates are shortlisted for CBT 2 on normalised marks.
2. CBT 2 (main exam): 120 questions in 90 minutes — General Awareness 50, Mathematics 35, Reasoning 35. CBT 2 marks shortlist candidates for CBAT.
3. CBAT (aptitude test): a minimum of 42 in each test battery is required, with no category relaxation.
4. Document verification and medical examination.

The cut off at each stage depends on:

• Vacancies in your RRB: fewer Station Master posts push the cut off up. Bhopal had only 6 posts and the highest UR cut off (88.22).
• Candidates appearing: more applicants per post means stiffer competition.
• Paper difficulty and normalisation: marks are normalised across shifts, so raw scores and cut offs are not directly comparable.
• Category and reservation: each category has its own cut off.
• Post preference: Station Master, as a Level 6 post, usually needs a higher score than Level 5 posts like Goods Train Manager in the same zone.
