The RRB has also emphasised the mandatory Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication process at the examination centres. Candidates will be required to undergo biometric verification before entering the exam hall. They must carry either their original Aadhaar card or a printout of their e-verified Aadhaar for identity verification purposes. Candidates who have not completed Aadhaar verification are advised to do so by logging into the official portal at www.rrbapply.gov.in
In addition, candidates are urged to ensure that their Aadhaar details remain unlocked in the UIDAI system before reaching the exam venue. They should update their Aadhaar card with accurate personal details, including name, date of birth as per Class 10 certificate, latest photograph, address, and father’s name, to prevent discrepancies during verification.
The Boards have issued a strong warning to candidates to stay away from fraudsters who may try to mislead job aspirants with false promises of railway appointments in exchange for illegal payments. The recruitment is conducted strictly on the basis of merit through the Computer Based Test (CBT) and other stages of the selection process.
