Details Mentioned on the Admit Card
After downloading, candidates should carefully verify their name, roll number, registration number, photograph and signature, exam date, shift timing, reporting time and gate-closing time, exam centre name and address, and the instructions printed on the hall ticket. The CBT 1 is a 60-minute test held in three shifts each day: Shift 1 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM (reporting 7:30 AM, gate closes 8:30 AM), Shift 2 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM (reporting 11:00 AM, gate closes 12:00 noon), and Shift 3 from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM (reporting 3:00 PM, gate closes 4:00 PM). If any detail on the card does not match the application, candidates should contact the concerned RRB helpdesk at once rather than waiting until exam day.
