Railway paramedical recruitment exam date announced! The exam will be held on November 23 and 25..

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has announced tentative dates for the recruitment examination for paramedical posts. According to a notice issued by the Board on October 18, 2026, the computer-based test (CBT) under CEN 05/2026 is scheduled to be held on November 23 and 25, 2026. Candidates appearing for the examination are advised to continue their preparations and keep a close watch on the official website of the Railway Recruitment Board. Please note that these dates are tentative; any changes or new instructions will be communicated via the Board's website.

According to the Railway Recruitment Board, a link to view the examination city and date will be activated approximately 10 days before the exam. This link will be available on the official websites of the respective Railway Recruitment Boards as well as on the central portal for Indian Railway recruitment. Through this, candidates will be able to determine the city where their examination will be held. Eligible candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) will also be able to download their travel authority using this same link. Candidates are advised to check their examination city details well in advance to avoid any difficulties in planning their travel.

When can the admit card be downloaded?
The e-call letter (admit card) for the paramedical recruitment examination will be available for download approximately four days prior to the scheduled examination date—the date which will be specified in the examination city and date notification. Candidates must download it from the official website of the respective Railway Recruitment Board. The admit card will contain details regarding the examination center and essential instructions for the day of the exam. Therefore, after downloading it, candidates should carefully verify their name, the date of the examination, and other details. The examination city intimation slip alone will not be sufficient for entry into the examination center; candidates must strictly follow the instructions provided on the admit card.

Why is Aadhaar verification necessary?
The Railway Recruitment Board has clarified that, prior to entry into the examination center, candidates will undergo biometric authentication linked to their Aadhaar. For this purpose, candidates must carry their original Aadhaar card or a printout of their e-verified Aadhaar. Candidates who have not yet completed their Aadhaar verification can do so by logging into their accounts at www.rrbapply.gov.in. The Board has also advised candidates to ensure that their Aadhaar status is 'unlocked' in the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) system before arriving at the examination center. This will help avoid any difficulties during identity verification on the day of the examination.

What should candidates keep in mind before the examination?
Candidates must ensure that the details in their Aadhaar card—such as their name, date of birth, latest photograph, address, and father's name—are accurate. The date of birth must match the one recorded on their Class 10 certificate. If biometric information has not been updated since the candidate turned 15, it should be updated. Furthermore, candidates should obtain information regarding the recruitment process exclusively from the official websites of the Railway Recruitment Boards. The Board has cautioned candidates to be wary of touts and individuals who make false promises of securing jobs for them. The selection process will be based on a computer-based examination and the merit of the candidates.
