If you’re one of the lakhs of candidates preparing for the RRB NTPC Undergraduate exam this year, here’s some important news: the Exam City Intimation Slip is already out, and your admit card will follow shortly before your exam date. Let’s walk you through everything step by step so you don’t miss a thing.
The Basics First
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) are conducting the RRB NTPC UG CBT-1 2026 under CEN No. 07/2025 for a total of 3,058 undergraduate-level vacancies. The exam is spread across multiple dates:
- May: 7th, 8th, and 9th
- June: 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st
The City Intimation Slip was released on 27th April 2026 — about 10 days before the first exam date. The actual E-Call Letter (Admit Card) will be made available 4 days before your individual exam date, so keep an eye on the official RRB website of your zone.

Why Your Admit Card Matters
Think of your admit card as your entry pass — without it, you won’t be allowed into the exam hall. It carries your name, roll number, exam date, shift timing, and the full address of your exam centre. Print it out and keep it safe. Losing it or forgetting it on exam day is a headache you really don’t want.
How to Download Your Admit Card
It’s a fairly straightforward process. Here’s what you need to do:
- Head over to the official RRB website of your zone (or the common portal at rrb.digialm.com).
- Look for the link that says “CEN 07/2025 – NTPC Undergraduate” on the homepage.
- Click on “View Exam City & Date Intimation” if you’re downloading the city slip, or “Download E-Call Letter” once the admit card is live.
- Enter your Registration Number, Date of Birth, and the security captcha.
- Your admit card will appear on the screen — download it as a PDF.
- Print 2 to 3 copies, because it’s always better to have a spare.

What to Carry on Exam Day
Don’t rush through this checklist the morning of your exam. Prepare everything the night before:
- ✅ Printed Admit Card (E-Call Letter)
- ✅ Original Aadhaar Card or a printout of your e-verified Aadhaar — biometric verification will happen at the centre
- ✅ One passport-size photograph matching the one you uploaded in your application
- ✅ Another valid photo ID (Voter ID, PAN Card, Passport, or Driving Licence) — only needed if you’re not using Aadhaar
What’s on the Admit Card?
Once you download it, give every detail a careful look. The admit card will mention:
- Your full name, roll number, and registration number
- Your photograph and signature
- Exam date, shift timing, and reporting time
- Complete exam centre address
- Important instructions and a list of items you can and cannot carry inside
If anything looks wrong, contact your RRB helpdesk immediately — don’t wait until exam day.
Trouble Downloading the Admit Card?
Server issues are common right after admit cards go live — everyone tries to download at the same time. If you’re stuck, try these:
- Use the “Forgot Registration Number/Password” option if you’ve lost your login details.
- Try logging in late at night or early in the morning when traffic is lower.
- Switch browsers — Chrome, Firefox, and Edge all work. Clearing your browser cache also helps.
- Check your internet connection.
- Still stuck? Call the RRB Helpdesk: 9513166169 (Monday to Saturday, 9 AM – 6 PM).
Quick Look at the Exam Pattern
The CBT-1 is a 90-minute objective test with 100 questions worth 100 marks. One thing to keep in mind — wrong answers cost you 1/3rd of a mark, so don’t guess blindly.
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| General Awareness | Part of 100 |
| Mathematics | Part of 100 |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | Part of 100 |
| Total | 100 questions / 100 marks |
The exam is available in English, Hindi, and several regional languages.
Practice Before You Go
Along with the city intimation slip, the RRB has also activated an official mock test link so you can get a feel for the interface and question format before exam day. Make the most of it — it’s free, it’s official, and it genuinely helps calm pre-exam nerves.
Common Questions Answered
