How to Check Your RRB Clerk Result

Once the link is active, you will need your login credentials. Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the Official Site: Go to ibps.in.
2. Find the Link: Look for the scrolling notification that says “Result Status of Online Preliminary Examination for CRP-RRBs-XIV – Office Assistant (Multipurpose).”
3. Login: Enter your Registration Number/Roll Number and Password/Date of Birth (DD-MM-YY format).
4. Captcha: Enter the security code shown on the screen.
5. View Status: The screen will display whether you have “Qualified” or “Not Qualified” for the Mains.
   • Note: The actual marks (Scorecard) are usually released 5-7 days after the result status.

Why This Result is Critical (Mains Strategy)

The most shocking detail for many students is the Mains Exam Date: February 1, 2026.

Usually, there is a gap of 15-20 days between results and the Mains exam. However, this year the gap is very short (less than 10 days).

• If you qualify: Do not wait for the Scorecard. Start revising General Awareness (Current Affairs) and Computer Knowledge immediately, as these are the game-changing sections in Mains.
• Admit Cards: The Call Letters for the Mains exam will likely be released simultaneously with or within 24 hours of the prelims result.

Expected Cut-Off Trends

Since the exams were held in multiple shifts in December, Normalisation will play a huge role.

• Easy Shifts: Candidates might see a slight deduction in marks if accuracy wasn’t 100%.
• Tough Shifts: Candidates from the December 13-14 shifts (reported as slightly tougher) might get a grace of 2-3 marks.
• State-wise Variation: Remember, RRB Clerk cut-offs vary by state. High-competition states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Haryana usually see cut-offs in the range of 70-75+ (out of 80).

Important: Don’t Confuse with Railway RRB

Many students get confused between IBPS RRB (Regional Rural Banks) and Railway Recruitment Board (RRB).

• This result is for Bank Clerks (Gramin Banks).
• If you are looking for the Railway RRB NTPC (Junior Clerk) result, that process is separate. The Railway NTPC Undergraduate exams were also in the news recently, but today’s trending update is specifically for the Banking sector.
