To be considered for the Station Master post, candidates must qualify in every test battery of the CBAT. There is no negative marking in this test. Candidates must also secure a minimum T-score of 42 in each test battery, regardless of their community or category.
The final merit list will be prepared from candidates who qualify in the CBAT, with 70% weightage given to CBT marks and 30% weightage to CBAT marks.
Document Verification (DV)
The final merit list will be prepared based on candidates’ performance in the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), with 70% weightage assigned to CBT marks and 30% to CBAT marks. Based on their merit position and railway preferences, candidates equal to the number of available vacancies will be called for Document Verification (DV).
If two or more candidates obtain the same marks, the tie will be resolved by giving preference to the older candidate. If their ages are also the same, the alphabetical order (A to Z) of their given names, excluding surnames, will determine the final merit position. During Document Verification, candidates will have to produce their original certificates.
