Anxious candidates express unhappiness over delay in declaration of RRB JE Result 2019

RRB JE Result 2019 update: Lakhs of candidates who have appeared in the RRB JE CBT 2019 first stage exam are anxiously waiting for their results . A number of them have requested the Indian railways to declare the results as early as possible through social media.

The RRB had issued a notice on July 30 saying that the results will be declared shortly. Since then the students have been waiting for their results and the Railways has not given any further update.
