The RRB Group D admit card is the e-call letter for the computer-based test (CBT) of Level 1 railway posts. You download it from the website of the Railway Recruitment Board you chose while applying. Nothing is sent by post, and you cannot enter the exam hall without a printout and an original photo ID.
In recent cycles, RRBs first opened an exam city and date slip about 10 days before each candidate's exam, and then the e-call letter about four days before. For CEN 08/2024, candidates were also told by SMS and email when the slip opened. Follow the timings in the notice for your own cycle, because they can change.
This page is only about Group D. If you applied for clerical or station posts, the RRB NTPC admit card guide covers that exam separately.
RRB Group D admit card candidate login: step by step
- Open the official website of your RRB, for example rrbcdg.gov.in for RRB Chandigarh. Any RRB site links to all 21 regional boards.
- Find the notice for CEN 08/2024 (or the CEN of your cycle) about the city slip or e-call letter for Level 1 posts.
- Click the link. It opens the candidate login page; for recent RRB exams this has been hosted on rrb.digialm.com, and some steps use your rrbapply.gov.in account.
- Type your registration number and date of birth or password, then the captcha.
- Check the details, download the PDF and print two clear copies.
Exam date and the city slip
The Group D exam date for each candidate is shown first on the city intimation slip. Because the CBT is spread over many days and shifts, two candidates from the same town can get different dates. The slip also offers a travel authority for eligible SC and ST candidates. It is not an admit card; only the e-call letter is accepted at the gate.
Why RRC Group D admit card searches still appear
Older Level 1 recruitments, such as RRC 01/2019, were notified by Railway Recruitment Cells (RRCs). Many people still search for an "RRC Group D admit card". For recent notices such as CEN 08/2024, the RRBs issue the call letters, so use your RRB website and not old RRC links.
Call letters at each stage
| Stage | Who gets a call letter | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| CBT | All candidates with valid applications | 100 questions in 90 minutes; one-third mark cut per wrong answer |
| Physical Efficiency Test (PET) | Candidates shortlisted after the CBT | Qualifying test of weight carrying and running, with separate standards for men and women |
| Document verification | Candidates who clear the PET and are shortlisted | Original certificates checked against the application |
| Medical examination | Candidates called after document verification | Fitness checked against the medical standard of the post |
The CBT covers general science, mathematics, general intelligence and reasoning, and general awareness and current affairs. To revise the stages and qualifying marks, see the railway Group D exam overview .
Details to check on your Group D call letter
- Name, father's name, date of birth and category, matching your application.
- Registration number, roll number and exam stage.
- Photo and signature, which should be clear and your own.
- Exam date, shift, reporting time and gate closing time.
- Full address of the centre and the list of accepted photo IDs.
Documents to carry
- The printed e-call letter.
- One original photo ID from the list on the call letter. Photocopies are not accepted at entry.
- Photographs if the call letter asks for them, and the travel authority if you are using it.
- For the PET, wear sports clothes and shoes, and follow any extra instructions in the PET call letter.
Recent RRB exams have used biometric and identity checks at the gate. Reach well before the reporting time and do not apply mehndi or ink on your hands. Phones and electronic watches are not allowed.
Exam-day checklist
- The day before: print the call letter, keep your original ID with it and check the route to the centre.
- On the day: reach before the reporting time. Gates close at the time printed on the letter.
- At the gate: show the call letter and ID, and go through frisking and identity checks.
- In the lab: sit at the system allotted to you, read the on-screen instructions and start only when told.
- After the test: leave only when allowed, and keep the call letter if the instructions ask you to bring it again.
Common problems and fixes
- Forgot registration number: look for the registration SMS and email. The login page has a recovery option that uses your registered mobile number or email.
- Forgot password: use "forgot password" on the login page and reset it through your registered contact details.
- Slip or call letter not visible: it opens only around the timeline for your own exam date, not for all candidates at once. Check again after the RRB notice for your phase.
- Wrong photo or detail: contact the helpdesk listed on your RRB site at once, before the exam day, and carry your original ID.
- Old link not working: links from earlier cycles or unofficial pages often fail. Go through the latest notice on your RRB site.
After the CBT
RRBs have usually released a provisional answer key with an objection window after the CBT, followed by the list of candidates shortlisted for the PET. Keep your login details safe, since you will need them again for each stage.
