Candidates will undergo this biometric authentication—linked to their Aadhaar—before entering the examination hall. Candidates must carry their original Aadhaar card or a printout of their e-verified Aadhaar to the exam center.
Candidates who have not yet verified their identity using Aadhaar are advised to complete this process by logging into the RRB application website. Doing so will help avoid difficulties during entry to the exam center and other necessary procedures.
**Unlock Aadhaar Before the Exam**
The RRB has also issued specific advice to candidates who had already completed Aadhaar verification at the time of application. Such candidates must ensure that their Aadhaar is unlocked in the UIDAI system before heading to the exam center.
According to the Board, keeping the Aadhaar unlocked will help avoid complications during registration and other exam-related procedures on the day of the examination.
**Accuracy of Aadhaar Card Details is Essential**
The RRB has advised candidates to verify the details on their Aadhaar cards. The following information on the Aadhaar card must be accurate and up-to-date:
Name
Date of Birth
Latest Photograph
Address
Father's Name
The date of birth must match the details on the Class 10 certificate. Therefore, candidates should verify the information recorded in their Aadhaar before the exam.
