Important dates and exam schedule (quick table)

Quick overview: What the RRB NTPC UG Admit Card 2026 means for you

The admit card is your entry ticket and identity proof at the exam centre. Without a printed e-call letter you will not be allowed to sit for CBT-1.

It also confirms your exam city, tentative date/shift window and the link to download the final hall ticket. Treat the city intimation slip as the first official notice about where you will appear.

Step-by-step: How to download your RRB NTPC UG Admit Card 2026

1. Open the official RRB site rrbcdg.gov.in or your regional RRB website after 4 May 2026 . The admit card link becomes active from that date.
2. Look for the link titled something like “CEN 07/2025 CBT-1 City Intimation / E-Call Letter”. Click it.
3. Choose the City Intimation / E-Call Letter download option and you will be taken to the login page.
4. Enter your Registration Number , your Date of Birth (used as password) and the captcha shown on screen.
5. Click Login. The admit card will appear on screen. Download the PDF and print at least two clear copies.

Keep a soft copy on your phone, but remember the printed admit card is mandatory for entry.

Login details: what to use and what to do if something goes wrong

You must use the registration number you received at application time and your date of birth as the password. The login form also requires a captcha.

If you don’t remember your registration number, check the application confirmation SMS or email you received when you applied. If those are not available, check the regional RRB website for registration retrieval options or guidance.

If the site shows an error during download, try a different browser, clear your browser cache, or retry during off-peak hours. Many candidates successfully download using Chrome or Edge with pop-ups allowed for the PDF file.

Save the downloaded PDF in multiple places and keep printed copies for the exam day.

Understanding the city intimation slip / e-call letter

The city intimation slip, released earlier on 27 April 2026 , tells you which city you will be allocated for CBT-1. It may not show the exact centre address or shift—those are on the final e-call letter.

Use the city intimation slip to confirm your exam city and prepare travel plans well before your slot. After the city intimation, the e-call letter/admit card (issued 4 May 2026 ) will show the full exam centre address, reporting time and shift details.

Always check the e-call letter fields carefully after download: the exact reporting time and shift you must follow will be printed there.

What to carry to the exam centre (practical checklist)

• A printed copy of your RRB NTPC UG admit card / e-call letter. Carry at least two copies.
• One valid photo ID in original: Aadhaar card, passport, PAN card, driving licence or voter ID are commonly accepted. The admit card must match the ID name and details.
• One recent passport-size photograph (same as uploaded during application) for verification, if required by the centre.
• PwBD candidates: original PwBD certificate and any supporting documents you mentioned in your application form.

Do not carry mobile phones, calculators, smartwatches or any electronic devices to the exam hall. Follow the centre staff instructions for items to be kept outside the hall.

PwBD candidates: exam duration, facilities and tips

PwBD candidates are allowed 120 minutes for CBT-1, while others get 90 minutes . Ensure your admit card clearly mentions your PwBD status and extended time.

Bring the original PwBD certificate and any prescribed supporting documents to claim facilities at the centre. The certificate shown at entry must match the information in your application.

If you need special seating, scribe or other arrangements, contact your regional RRB ahead of the exam date so the centre can be informed and prepared. Do not assume arrangements will be available without prior confirmation.

Before you leave home: verification and print best practices

Check these fields on the downloaded admit card: your name, registration number, exam date or date window, exam city, exam centre address, reporting time, gender and PwBD status (if applicable).

Print on plain white A4 paper. Make sure the photograph and signature are clear and readable. Keep at least two printed copies and one digital copy accessible on your phone as backup.

If any field appears incorrect or blank, do not ignore it. Reach out to your regional RRB immediately to seek corrections.

Admit card issues, corrections and troubleshooting (what to try first)

If personal details are incorrect on the admit card, contact your regional RRB right away. Regional RRB contact information is available on official RRB websites; they will advise the correction process.

For download errors: switch browsers, disable extensions, clear cache, or use a different device. Try downloading during early morning or late evening when site traffic is lower.

If you can’t retrieve your registration number, check the SMS or email you received when you applied. If those are missing, look for the registration retrieval option on your regional RRB portal or the central site.

Do not rely on third-party sites claiming to provide the admit card link; always use official RRB portals.

Day-of-exam routine: arrival, security and do’s & don’ts

Plan to reach the centre as per the reporting time printed on your e-call letter. Do not arrive too late — entry is strictly controlled and late arrivals may be denied entry.

Carry your printed admit card, original photo ID and passport-size photo. Wear comfortable, simple clothing; avoid metallic accessories to speed up security checks.

At entry you will face biometric/photo verification. Follow the invigilator’s instructions during biometric scans and seat allocation. The online CBT will start after verification and instructions by the centre staff.

Do not bring stationery items unless specifically permitted. Do not attempt to bring any electronic device into the hall. If you have doubts, ask the centre staff — they are authorised to clarify exam rules.

After the exam: keep these documents and next steps

Keep your admit card and any sign-in slips until the recruitment process is complete. You may need them for CBT-2, document verification or final joining paperwork.

Watch official RRB announcements for CBT-1 result dates, CBT-2 notices and document verification schedules. Results and further instructions will be posted on the official regional RRB websites and the central portal.

If you qualify and move to the next stage, follow the official instructions for document verification and medicals exactly as notified.

Final tips to avoid last-minute trouble

Download the admit card as soon as it is available on 4 May 2026 . Don’t wait for your exam date to approach; server traffic can be heavy close to the exam.

Keep all original IDs and photocopies ready a day before. Double-check the name spelling and registration number on both the admit card and the ID you plan to carry.

If you are travelling to another city, plan travel and stay early. The city intimation slip from 27 April 2026 should guide your location planning; use the e-call letter for final centre details.
