Will normalised marks decide PET shortlisting?
Yes. According to RRB Group D notification, candidates will be shortlisted for PET based on their CBT merit, with normalisation applicable to CBTs conducted in multiple sessions. Railway/RRC-wise shortlisting is prescribed at three times the number of vacancies, although number may be increased or decreased according to requirement of Railway Administration.
For example, if a particular Railway/RRC has 1,000 vacancies, candidates may be shortlisted for PET at around three times the number of vacancies, subject to the provisions mentioned in the notification. So, meeting minimum qualifying marks does not automatically mean that a candidate will be shortlisted for the PET.
