The final result covers all seven Technician-B trades advertised by PRL. The original notification carried 10 Technician-B vacancies across reserved and unreserved categories.

Who Was Eligible for These Technician-B Posts
For Technician-B recruitment, PRL required Matric or 10th pass along with ITI, NTC, or NAC in the relevant NCVT trade. The requirement was trade-specific and tied directly to the advertised post code.
| Trade | Essential qualification in the advertisement |

| Turner | Matric plus ITI / NTC / NAC in Turner trade from NCVT |

The advertisement fixed the age limit for Technician-B at 18 to 35 years as on 31 October 2025, with category-specific relaxations as notified. The post carries Level 3 pay in the matrix, that is ₹21,700 to ₹69,100.
Selection Process and Exam Pattern for PRL Technician B
PRL used a written test followed by a skill test. The written test and the skill test were both curriculum-based. The skill test was qualifying in nature and carried 100 marks.
| Stage | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Written test | 80 MCQs in 1.5 hours with +1 for correct answer and -0.33 negative marking |
| Skill test | Qualifying nature, conducted for 100 marks |
PRL's appendix also set the pass criteria as 32 out of 80 in the written test and 50 out of 100 in the skill test for unreserved candidates, and 24 out of 80 in the written test and 40 out of 100 in the skill test for reserved candidates where the post was reserved.
After the written test, candidates were shortlisted for the skill test in a 1:5 ratio with a minimum of 10 candidates.
Written Test Cut-Offs Before the Skill Test
Before the final result was published, PRL had already declared the written test result and trade-wise qualifying thresholds. The published written result showed the following minimum qualifying marks out of 80 for the categories relevant to each trade.
| Trade | Applicable qualifying marks shown in written result |
|---|---|
| Fitter | ST: 24.00 |
| Turner | UR: 32.00, OBC: 24.00 |
| Machinist | ST: 24.00 |
| Electronic Mechanic | UR: 32.00, OBC: 24.00 |
| Electrician | UR: 32.00, EWS: 32.00 |
| Plumber | UR: 32.00 |
| Mechanic Refrigeration & Air Conditioning | SC: 24.00 |
The written test result also noted that merely qualifying the written test did not give an automatic right to appear in the skill test. Shortlisting was done separately as per the recruitment rules.
What the Final Result PDF Contains
The official PDF is structured trade-wise and category-wise. For each panel, PRL has listed the serial number, roll number, registration number, written test marks, skill test status, and final remark.
- Roll number
- Registration number
- Written test marks
- Skill test status: Qualified or Not-qualified
- Final remark: Selected, Wait-listed, or Not-selected
This means candidates can see more than just their final status. The PDF also shows how they performed in the written test and whether they cleared the qualifying skill test stage.
Trade-Wise Selected Entries Listed in the Official PDF
The first selected entry shown in each panel of the official PDF is reproduced below for quick reference. Candidates should still rely on the original PDF for the full panel, wait-list positions, and category notes.

The result PDF also carries multiple wait-listed names in several panels. In some reserved-category panels, PRL has explicitly mentioned overlap with the UR panel.
Tie-Breaker Rule Mentioned in the Final Result
PRL has added an important note at the end of the final result PDF. It says that where there is a tie in written test marks, the inter-se merit of candidates is decided by applying the academic tie-breaker rule based on marks obtained in ITI.
The advertisement appendix gives one more Technician-B specific clarification. If two or more candidates remain tied in written test scores and academic scores of the notified qualification, candidates possessing a valid NAC score get preference over candidates who do not possess NAC score.
This note matters because some panels have very close written test marks and the final order in the PDF follows PRL's notified tie-breaking method.
How to Check the Result and What Candidates Should Do Next
- Open the official PRL result PDF from the PRL website.
- Use the search option in your browser or PDF reader.
- Search by roll number first, then by registration number if needed.
- Read all three fields carefully: written test marks, skill test status, and final remark.
- Save a copy of the PDF for future reference.
If your name or number appears in the wait-list, keep checking the official PRL website and your registered email address for any further communication. The published result PDF itself does not announce a separate joining schedule or document verification calendar.
Selected candidates should keep their application details, educational certificates, caste or category documents if applicable, identity proof, and other recruitment records ready, because any next communication is expected to follow from the official side only.
