For candidates belonging to SC/ST categories, this link will also allow you to download your Travel Authority to facilitate your journey to the exam center.
The Golden Ticket: Downloading Your E-Call Letter
Your Admit Card, or E-Call Letter, is the most vital document for entering the examination hall. You will be able to download your E-Call Letter 4 days prior to your specific exam date mentioned in the Exam City and Date intimation link. Ensure you download it as soon as it’s available, check all the details for accuracy, and take multiple printouts.
Exam Day Essentials: Don’t Forget These Crucial Details!
The RRB has laid out specific instructions to ensure a smooth and transparent examination process. Ignoring these can lead to unnecessary stress or even prevent you from taking the test.
Aadhaar Biometric Verification: Your Entry Pass
To prevent impersonation and ensure fairness, Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is mandatory for all candidates at the exam center.
- What to Bring: You must carry your original Aadhaar card or a clear, printout of your e-verified Aadhaar.
- Action Required: It is highly recommended to log in to the RRB portal with your credentials and complete your Aadhaar verification beforehand, if you haven’t already.
- Crucial Tip: Before leaving for the exam, ensure your Aadhaar is in an unlocked condition in the UIDAI system. A locked Aadhaar can cause issues during the biometric verification process.
Steer Clear of Misinformation and Scams
In the run-up to the exam, many unverified sources and fraudulent individuals become active. The RRB has issued a stern warning:
- Trust Only Official Sources: For all latest updates, refer only to the official websites of the Railway Recruitment Boards.
- Beware of Touts: Do not fall for fake promises from touts who claim they can get you a job for illegal consideration. RRB selections are purely based on your performance in the Computer Based Tests (CBT) and your merit ranking.
Candidates are advised to rely only on official sources for information. You can view and download the original notice directly from the link below to verify the details for yourself.
