As the examination was conducted for nearly months in multiple shifts. Hence, it is highly anticipated that the board will consider a normalization formula to ensure transparency and fairness in the result declaration process. RRB has notified approx 35,000+ vacancies in multiple categories for the Non-technical posts in 2019. However, citing some unavoidable reasons and the pandemic the examination was delayed multiple times before it commenced in 2020.
