RRBs also provide a timeline for exam-related documents. According to the notices cited by outlets, the exam city and date intimation (city slip) and related information are made available about 10 days before the exam, and the SC/ST travel authority/pass can be downloaded through the same link. E-call letters (admit cards) are expected to start downloading about four days before the exam date. Times of India also reports the CBT-II targets 45,898 shortlisted candidates for 3,058 undergraduate vacancies.
Outlets further highlight exam-day requirements and structure. The RRBs reiterate that Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is conducted at the venue, and candidates must have an original Aadhaar or e-verified Aadhaar printout. Times of India adds that CBT-II includes 120 questions (120 marks) across General Awareness, Mathematics, and General Intelligence/Reasoning, with one-third negative marking. Both sources advise candidates to rely on official RRB websites for updates and avoid unofficial claims.
