What to take to the centre

From para 20.0 and 21.0 of CEN 09/2025 and the RRBs’ CBT schedule notices. Also carry anything else your e-call letter asks for.

✓
Printed e-call letterWrite the self-declaration and sign it, with your thumb impression, only at the venue in front of the invigilator
✓
Two original photo IDsOne must be the same ID you gave in your application — e.g. Aadhaar / e-Aadhaar printout, Voter ID, DL, PAN, Passport
✓
Colour passport photoNot older than two months from the date of the CBT, PET, DV or medical
✓
Community certificateSC/ST candidates using the travel authority must carry the original while travelling
✓

⚠ Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is done at the centre before you enter the hall, so keep your Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system. Without the required original ID proofs you won’t be allowed to take the exam. Don’t write the self-declaration in advance or sign in capital letters — the e-call letter will be rejected.

Leave at home

Prohibited at the exam centre

Only the e-call letter (with the IDs and photo you are asked to bring) is allowed inside the test centre, and a pen is provided there. If you are found with a mobile phone, Bluetooth or any other wireless device, working or switched off, your candidature is cancelled and you can be debarred from RRB exams. Using unfair means, such as impersonation, leads to a lifetime ban from all RRB and RRC exams. Cloak rooms may not be available, so leave valuables at home, and avoid henna on your hands and feet because it blocks biometric capture.
