3. City Intimation Slip vs. E-Call Letter: What’s the Difference?
Many candidates confuse the City
Intimation Slip with the final Admit Card. Here is the exact difference:
- City Intimation Slip: This is simply an advance notice
that tells you the Date, Shift, and City of your exam. It is
released early so you can book your train or bus tickets and plan your
travel. You cannot use this slip to enter the exam hall.
- E-Call Letter (Admit Card): This is your official entry
pass. It contains the exact name and address of your exam center, your
Roll Number, and detailed exam day instructions. You must print this
document and carry it to the exam center.
4.
How to Check the City Intimation Slip (Step-by-Step)
Checking your exam city is quick and

the captcha.

Your official E-Call Letter will be

printout to carry to the exam center along with a valid Original Photo
ID (Aadhaar, PAN Card, Voter ID) and two passport-size photos.

8. Important
Note: Exam Fee Refund
Did you know that you can get your application fee
refunded? The RRB has a strict policy regarding the refund of the examination
fee, and it completely depends on your attendance.
·
For General / OBC Candidates: You paid an application
fee of ₹500. Out of this, ₹400
(minus bank charges) will be refunded to your bank account.
·
For SC / ST / Female / Ex-Servicemen / EBC Candidates:
You paid an application fee of ₹250. The entire ₹250 (minus bank charges) will be refunded to
your bank account.
·
The Golden Rule: You MUST attend the CBT exam to get this refund. If
you are marked absent on the day of the exam, the RRB will not refund your
money. So, make sure you show up!
9. CRITICAL ALERT: Unlock Your Aadhaar Biometrics Before the Exam!
The RRB has issued a strict notice regarding Aadhaar-linked
Biometric Authentication at the exam centers. If your Aadhaar biometrics (fingerprints/iris) are
locked in the UIDAI system, your authentication will fail, and you could be
denied entry to the exam hall.
What you
must do before exam day:
·
Check Your Status: Log in to the official myAadhaar
portal (myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in) or use the mAadhaar mobile app to check if your
biometrics are currently locked.
·
Disable the Lock: If they are locked, you must unlock
them before reaching the exam center. It is highly recommended to select "Disable Biometric
Lock" rather than just "Unlock".
·
Why Disable? The standard "Unlock" button is
only temporary and automatically locks your biometrics again after just 10
minutes! By completely disabling the lock, you ensure a smooth, stress-free
attendance process at the exam center. You can easily lock your biometrics
again once your exam is successfully completed.
