Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has finally announced the result for Railway Police Force (RPF) Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment test in 2025. It is a critical move in recruiting 450 open posts of Sub-Inspectors for the Railway Police Force. Those who gave this exam are now able to see the result from the website of RRB.

The RPF SI examination was conducted in the Computer-Based Test (CBT) format, and the exam was conducted on multiple days, i.e., December 2, 3, 9, 12, and 13, 2024. The test was attended by a huge number of candidates, i.e., 15,35,635 aspirants appeared for the examination, all aiming to secure the much-desired Sub-Inspector post in the RPF. The test was intended to evaluate the knowledge, abilities, and suitability of the candidates for the job, and the results have now been released, which show that 4,527 candidates have cleared the next rounds of the recruitment process.

For the shortlisted candidates at this stage, the second round will comprise the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Measurement Test (PMT). These are important tests because they test the physical fitness, strength, and endurance necessary for the strenuous nature of the job. The Sub-Inspector position in the RPF requires individuals with high-pressure tolerance and ability to work in harsh environments, and therefore physical fitness becomes an important criterion in the selection process.

The criteria for passing the CBT test were determined in relation to the category of candidates. Candidates of the Unreserved (UR), Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), and Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) had to obtain at least 35% in the test to be considered qualified. On the other hand, SC and ST category candidates had to obtain at least 30% to pass the CBT. These minimum marks required were set so that candidates from different backgrounds get an equal chance to move ahead in the selection process without compromising on the required standards for the job.

The candidates who are waiting anxiously to check their results can now do so by logging on to the official RRB website or the respective zonal RRB portal through which they had applied. On the home page, they will have a tab for “Recruitment” or “Results.” Clicking on this tab, they will be taken to the notice named “RPF SI Result 2025” or something like that. The result will be in PDF format, and the candidates can look for their roll number among the list of pass candidates. If the roll number of a candidate is in the list, they have passed the CBT and are eligible to proceed further in the recruitment process.

The declaration of the RPF SI results is a critical juncture for both the candidates and the RRB, as it paves the way for the following stages of physical testing, which will play a pivotal role in finalizing the selection for the Sub-Inspector posts. Those who have been selected will now have to prepare for the PET and PMT, making sure they are up to the physical standards of the job. The Railway Recruitment Board has requested candidates to keep themselves posted on the official website for any additional notifications on the dates of these physical tests, along with any other updates concerning the recruitment process.

Meanwhile, those candidates who failed to qualify for this level of the hiring process can already start preparing themselves for future hires with the RPF or any other department of the Indian Railways. The RRB continually holds a number of recruitment campaigns for different positions in the organization, giving different job applicants many options. Those who failed this time can hope for future exams or try other positions that suit their skills and qualifications.

The RPF SI recruitment drive is a part of the Indian Railways’ constant attempt to beef up its security and make travel safer for passengers. The RPF is responsible for ensuring law and order throughout the railway system, and the recruitment of competent personnel to man Sub-Inspector positions is an important factor in ensuring the force is able to continue its work effectively. As the candidates who cleared the CBT wait to go for the next round, the RPF will continue with its role of protecting the railway infrastructure and millions of passengers using it on a daily basis.

The candidates who have been able to clear the next round should start preparing for the physical fitness tests, keeping in mind the exact requirements as laid down by the RRB. They are advised to keep a constant watch on the official RRB website for information regarding the exact dates of the PET and PMT, along with any other instructions that may be released during the course of the remaining selection process.

Finally, the declaration of the RPF SI results sets the stage for the ultimate selection process for the highly sought-after post of Sub-Inspector in the Railway Police Force. With 4,527 candidates advancing to the subsequent stages, competition will only increase as they are put through intensive physical testing. The Railway Recruitment Board continues to open doors to job seekers as an opportunity for candidates to vie for jobs with the Indian Railways, this recruitment exercise being just one among many significant moves toward the realization of a talent pool and professional team to support the country.
