RRB Group D Court Case 2025 Final Verdict Out, Latest News

The CAT Delhi has ruled in favor of Railways in the RRB Group D eligibility case, confirming that 10th Pass candidates remain eligible. Exam dates are likely to be announced soon. Read this full article to understand the complete court decision and what it means for upcoming exams.

The long-awaited decision in the RRB Group D educational qualification case has finally been delivered, bringing relief and clarity to lakhs of candidates across the country. For months, both 10th pass and ITI pass candidates were eagerly waiting to know whether they would be eligible for the Railway Group D exam. Now, the final verdict has made it clear — both 10th pass and ITI qualified candidates are eligible for RRB Group D recruitment.

CAT Judgment Favors Railway

The final decision has gone in favor of the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB). The court said that Railways have the full right to decide what qualifications are needed for their recruitment. This means all 10th Pass candidates are now officially eligible to apply for Group D posts. This is a big relief for lakhs of students who were waiting for the court’s decision before starting or continuing their preparation.

Background of the Case

The dispute began when the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) released a short notice on their website making ITI candidates eligible for Group D posts. However, when the detailed notification was officially published, only Class 10th pass candidates were declared eligible.

This difference led to objections and legal action from ITI-qualified candidates, who argued that the earlier notice should also be considered valid. The case was first heard in CAT, which dismissed it in February 2025, but the matter later reached the High Court.

The High Court directed that the final decision must come from CAT, returning the case to the Tribunal for detailed hearing and final disposal.

Exam Dates to Be Announced Soon

Now that the case is closed, the Railways will soon move forward with the Group D exam process. The department is expected to release the exam city information and exam dates shortly.

However, reports say that the ITI side may file an appeal in the High Court after receiving the official written order from CAT. But even if they do, the Railways are expected to continue with the exam process and may request the court to lift the stay order quickly.

What This Means for Aspirants

This decision confirms that all 10th Pass candidates are eligible for the RRB Group D recruitment. With the legal issue now solved, Railways are likely to release the exam dates very soon. Candidates should stay focused on their preparation, as the exam can be announced at any time once the official order copy is shared and the stay is removed.

Message for Both 10th and ITI Candidates

This judgment is not a victory for one group over another — it is a win for all aspirants. Both 10th and ITI candidates have an equal chance to prove their capability. Instead of feeling disappointed, this is the right time to focus on preparation.

The court case has delayed the process for months, creating mental pressure and uncertainty. But now, with the decision out, candidates should shift their focus completely toward mock tests, revision, and full-length practice.
