Railway RRB Group D Exam City / Admit Card 2026 — Overview
Railway Recruitment Board has issued the admit card / exam-date notice for Railway RRB Group D Exam City /. The call letter is downloaded from rrbapply.gov.in using your registration number and date of birth or password.
Print the admit card on A4 paper and carry it with an original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence). Entry is refused without both. Check the reporting time carefully — most centres close the gate 30 to 60 minutes before the exam starts.
Verify every detail on the call letter — name, photograph, signature, category, exam centre and shift. If anything is wrong, contact the RRB helpdesk before the exam date rather than at the centre.
