The Railway Recruitment Board has released the admit card for the Group D exam under CEN 09/2025, with candidates now able to download hall tickets using their registration number and password.
Call letters for the Computer Based Test on August 3 and 4, 2026 are already available, with candidates appearing on later dates able to download theirs four days ahead of their exam.
The exam will run over August 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 25, 2026, held in three shifts each day.
The recruitment drive covers 22,195 Level-1 vacancies, with nearly 87 lakh candidates in the running for posts including Track Maintainer Grade IV, Pointsman, Assistant (S&T) and Assistant (TL & AC).
The vacancies are spread across 21 Railway Recruitment Boards nationwide, making this one of the largest active government recruitment exercises in the country.
Candidates have been told to carry a printed admit card and a valid original photo ID to their exam centre, as entry will not be permitted without both.
Candidates can check their allotted exam city and shift timing in advance through the city intimation slip, which the Railway Recruitment Board typically releases a few days before the admit card itself.
The RRB Group D exam, conducted as a Computer Based Test, is held in multiple shifts to accommodate the large number of applicants across the country’s 21 Railway Recruitment Boards.
The 22,195 vacancies span multiple technical and support roles in Indian Railways, reflecting the scale of staffing needs across the network’s maintenance and operations divisions.
Candidates are advised to carry a printed copy of their admit card along with a valid original photo ID to the examination centre, as entry is not permitted without both documents.
The high applicant-to-vacancy ratio of nearly 87 lakh candidates for just over 22,000 posts underscores the continued demand for stable government employment among job seekers across India.
