Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication will be done at the centre before entry to the exam hall: candidates must bring their original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar, should complete Aadhaar verification by logging in at www.rrbapply.gov.in if not done already, must keep their Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system, and should make sure their Aadhaar has the correct name, date of birth (as per the Class 10 certificate), latest photograph, updated biometrics, address and father's name.

What this means for you
Open the city intimation link on your RRB's official website now and note your exam city and date: the exam runs on only three days, 3 to 5 November, so book travel early, and SC/ST candidates should download their Travel Authority from the same link. Download the e-call letter about four days before your date and check every detail on it. Aadhaar-linked biometric checks happen before you enter the hall, so unlock your Aadhaar in the UIDAI system before you leave, carry the original Aadhaar card or an e-verified Aadhaar printout, and make sure the name and date of birth on your Aadhaar match your Class 10 certificate. For problems, use only the official RRB websites and the helpdesk number in the notice, and ignore anyone who promises selection for money.
