For the first time, Aadhaar-based authentication was done for the candidates. The second phase CBT was conducted in three shifts, two for level 6 on May 9 and one for level 4 on May 10. The scheduling was done in such a way that candidates of one RRB were given the same question paper so that there is no need for normalisation, the ministry said.
