How to View CBT Questions, Answer Keys & Raise Objections?

Follow these straightforward steps to access your CBT sheet and lodge any grievance:

  1. Open the official RRB portal – the link is active from 17 Feb 2026:
    RRB Answer‑Key & Objection Portal (CEN 08/2024)
  2. On the landing page, locate the “View Questions & Answer Key” button.
  3. Enter your Roll Number and Date of Birth exactly as mentioned in the CBT confirmation email.
  4. After the system displays your question paper, click “Download PDF” to keep a local copy.
  5. If you spot an error (question, option or answer key), click “Raise Objection”.
  6. Pay the ₹50 per objection using any of the accepted modes (Debit/Credit Card, UPI, Net‑Banking, Wallet).
  7. Submit the objection form. The board will review and, if the claim is valid, refund the fee (minus bank charges).
