Aadhaar biometric authentication at the exam centre
The RRBs will do Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication at the exam centre before candidates enter the exam hall. Candidates must carry one of these documents.
- Original Aadhaar card
- Printout of e-verified Aadhaar
Keep Aadhaar unlocked and updated
Candidates, including those who verified Aadhaar at the application stage, are requested to keep Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system before coming to the exam centre. This avoids inconvenience and helps registration and exam-related processes on the exam day.
The notice says Aadhaar should be updated with these details.
- Correct name
- Date of birth, as per the Class 10 certificate
- Latest photograph
- Biometrics, if not updated upon reaching the age of 15 years
- Address

Candidates who have not verified Aadhaar yet should log in with their credentials at rrbapply.gov.in and complete Aadhaar verification. This helps smooth entry into the examination centre.

FAQs
Is the RRB Section Controller city slip the same as the admit card?
No. The city slip shows the exam city and date, while the E-Call letter is a separate download. The notice says E-Call letters start 4 days (tentatively) before the exam dates mentioned in the exam city and date link.
What if I do not have my original Aadhaar card for the RRB Section Controller exam?
The notice allows a printout of e-verified Aadhaar in place of the original card. Candidates must bring one of the two, because Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication happens at the exam centre before entry into the exam hall.
Where do SC/ST candidates download the RRB Section Controller Travel Authority?
SC/ST candidates download the Travel Authority from the same link that shows the exam city and date. That link is live on the official websites of all RRBs.
