The dates come from the RRB notice of 11 September 2026, which calls them tentative. The Exam City & Date intimation opens about 10 days before your exam date. The e-call letter opens about 4 days before the date on that intimation. For 12 October candidates, that puts the city slip around 2 October and the e-call letter around 8 October. ### Key dates | Event | Date | | --- | --- | | CBT schedule notice | 11 September 2026 | | Exam City & Date intimation, SC/ST Travel Authority | About 10 days before your exam date | | e-Call letter download | About 4 days before your exam date | | **CBT** | **12 – 13 October 2026** | ### CBT pattern | Section | Questions | | --- | --- | | Analytical and Mathematical Capability | 60 | | Logical Capability | 20 | | Mental Reasoning | 20 | | **Total** | **100** | Each question carries 1 mark, and you get 120 minutes. One-third of a mark is deducted for each wrong answer, and marks are normalised across shifts. RRB says the section split is indicative. The CBT is a screening stage. Candidates shortlisted on their normalised CBT score go on to the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), which has no negative marking. The minimum marks to be eligible are 40% for UR and EWS, 30% for OBC (NCL) and SC, and 25% for ST. ### After the CBT: aptitude test (CBAT) From the CBT, RRBs shortlist candidates equal to **8 times the vacancies** in each community (UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST and EWS, including ExSM) for the Computer Based Aptitude Test. You need a **T-score of at least 42 in every test battery**; there is no relaxation for any category and no negative marking in the CBAT. The merit list gives **70% weight to CBT marks and 30% to CBAT marks**, and only candidates who qualify in the CBAT are considered. Bring the vision certificate (Annexure VI or VI-A) in original to the CBAT, or you will not be allowed to take it. ### Exam day rules - Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is done at the centre before you enter the exam hall. - Bring your **original Aadhaar card** or a printout of your **e-verified Aadhaar**. - If you have not verified your Aadhaar yet, log in at [rrbapply.gov.in](https://www.rrbapply.gov.in/) and complete it before the exam. - Keep your Aadhaar **unlocked** in the UIDAI system before exam day, even if you verified it while applying. - Your Aadhaar should show the correct name, date of birth (as per your Class 10 certificate), a recent photograph, address and father’s name. - Read the instructions printed on the e-call letter and follow them exactly. ### Official sources - [RRB notice: tentative CBT schedule, CEN 03/2026 (11 September 2026)](https://aijobalert.com/documents/rrb/section-controller-cbt-tentitive-notice-cen-03-2026-13501efa.pdf) - [CEN 03/2026 (Section Controller) notification](https://aijobalert.com/documents/rrb/final-cen-03-2026-section-controller-18e60947.pdf) ## Important Dates | Event | Date | | --- | --- | | Exam date | 12 – 13 October 2026 | ## How to download the RRB Section Controller e-call letter 1. **Open your RRB’s official website** — Use rrb.indianrailways.gov.in and pick the RRB you applied to.
