Details to Check on Your Admit Card
Don’t just download it and leave it in your folder. Read it line by line. Check:
- Your name, roll/registration number, photograph and signature
- Exam name and CEN number
- Post name
- Exam date and shift
- Reporting time and gate closing time
- Exam centre name and full address
- CBT instructions
- Biometric and identity verification details
If anything looks wrong, such as a name spelling, a blurry photo or a missing field, contact your regional RRB right away instead of waiting for exam day.
Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre
- Printed copy of the RRB Section Controller Admit Card
- Valid original photo ID proof
- A copy of the photo ID proof (as per admit card instructions)
- Passport-size photographs
Keep everything together in one folder so you don’t scramble at the gate.
Aadhaar-Linked Biometric Authentication
RRB has made Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication mandatory for candidates in the Section Controller CBAT stage. Keep your Aadhaar in one of these accepted formats:
- Original Aadhaar card
- Valid e-Aadhaar
- DigiLocker Aadhaar
Photocopies and scanned copies are not accepted. We recommend carrying one of the accepted formats to the CBT as well, and checking your admit card for any specific instruction.
Having Trouble Downloading Your Admit Card?
Don’t panic. Most issues have simple fixes:
- Re-check your registration number, password or date of birth, and CAPTCHA
- Confirm that you are on the correct regional RRB website
- Try again later. Traffic usually drops at off-peak hours, and the site may load faster
Exam Day Tips
- Reach the centre before the reporting time, not at it
- Carry only permitted items. Electronic gadgets are strictly prohibited
- Follow all instructions given by the exam staff and printed on your admit card
- Keep your admit card safe until the entire recruitment process is over, because you may need it again at later stages
- Sleep well the night before. Last-minute revision won’t help as much as a calm mind
