Sourced from 2026-cycle secondary aggregators reporting the CRP RRB XV 2026 notification; the Mains section-wise mark split (50/50/40/40/20) is the commonly reported approximate distribution across sources but exact per-section figures were not independently cross-verified against the official PDF, so treat those as moderate-confidence.Fee and overall Prelims/Mains totals (80/80 and 200/200) were consistent across all sources checked.
