RRB Section Controller Admit Card 2026: CEN 03/2026, CBAT

The RRB Section Controller admit card (e-call letter) for CEN 03/2026 was released on 9 October 2026, and it has now been used: the Computer Based Test (CBT) was held on 12 and 13 October 2026. The city intimation slip came first, on 2 October 2026. The next call letter is for the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT). Only candidates shortlisted on CBT merit will get it, and the CBT result had not been declared as of 27 October 2026.

How the CEN 03/2026 call letters were released

• Schedule: the tentative CBT schedule notice of 11 September 2026 fixed the exam for 12 to 13 October 2026.
• City slip: the link to view your exam city and date, and for SC/ST candidates to download the Travel Authority, went live on the official websites of all RRBs on 2 October 2026. The city slip notice said it opens about 10 days (tentatively) before the exam date.
• E-call letter: downloads start about 4 days (tentatively) before the date shown on the city slip. The link went up on 9 October 2026, along with a static mock test link.
• Login: the candidate login page asks for your Registration Number and a password that is your date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY). If you have lost the registration number, get it from rrbapply.gov.in using your credentials, or check your registered email.
• Helpdesk for the city slip stage: 9513166371, Monday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

No call letter is sent by post. Before the exam stage, the RRBs completed scrutiny of applications. A notice of 16 September 2026 told candidates to check whether their application was provisionally accepted, conditionally accepted or rejected (with reasons) by logging in at rrbapply.gov.in.

What to carry to the Section Controller CBT and CBAT

• The e-call letter and a valid original photo ID: Voter ID, Aadhaar card or printout of e-Aadhaar, driving licence, PAN card, passport, employer ID for government employees, or school/college/university ID if still studying. Without it you are not allowed to appear.
• Your original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar, for Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication before entry. Keep your Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system. Its name and date of birth should match your Class 10 certificate.
• A colour passport photograph not older than two months from the date of the CBT or CBAT.

Leave the self-declaration paragraph, signature and Left Thumb Impression boxes on the e-call letter blank. You fill them at the venue in front of the invigilator. A paragraph written in advance or a signature in CAPITAL letters is rejected.

Banned items and centre rules

Under CEN 03/2026, only the e-call letter is allowed inside the test centre. Mobile phones, watches, earphones, Bluetooth devices, health bands, calculators, pens, pencils, belts, caps, purses, water bottles and food are not allowed. A pen is provided in the hall. Do not apply henna on hands or feet, because it obstructs biometric capture. There may be no cloak room at the venue. Requests to change the exam centre, date or session are not entertained.

The next call letter: CBAT

CBT merit decides who is called for the CBAT, at 8 times the vacancies of each RRB, drawn community-wise from UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST and EWS (including ExSM). The CBAT e-call letter follows the same timing rule: about 4 days before the test, with the city intimation about 10 days ahead. Carry the Vision Certificate in the prescribed format (Annexure VI or VI A) in original. Without it you will not be permitted to take the CBAT. The CBAT has questions and options only in English and Hindi.
