The Big Dates: When is the Battle?

In a slight twist to the previous notice, the RRB has streamlined the Computer Based Test (CBT) dates. Mark your calendars and set your alarms for these four crucial days:

  • February 13, 2026
  • February 16, 2026
  • February 17, 2026
  • February 18, 2026

Whether you are scheduled for the first day or the last, the intensity remains the same. The exam will be conducted in multiple shifts across the country.

 

Exam City, Travel, and Admit Cards

The RRB has made sure that candidates have enough time to plan their logistics. Here’s the timeline for your essentials:

  • Exam City & Date View: The link to check your allotted city and exam date will go live 10 days before your specific exam date.
  • SC/ST Travel Authority: Candidates from SC/ST categories can download their free travel authority along with the city intimation.
  • The E-Call Letter: Your actual Admit Card (E-Call Letter) will be available for download exactly 4 days prior to your exam date. Don’t go looking for it a month early!

 

Critical Instructions: Don’t Get Disqualified!

Even the best preparation can fail if you ignore the “fine print.” The RRB has laid down strict rules for the exam day:

  1. Original ID is Mandatory: You must bring the same original Photo Identity Document that you mentioned in your application. No photocopies, no digital versions—Original only!
  2. The Aadhaar Requirement: If you verified your Aadhaar during application, ensure your Aadhaar account is UNLOCKED in the UIDAI system before reaching the center. This is vital for smooth biometric registration.
  3. Merit is King: Beware of touts and “job fixers.” RRB selections are 100% based on your performance in the CBT. If someone promises a job for money, they are lying.

 

Pro-Tips for the Final Stretch

With the exams starting on February 13th, you have no time to waste.

  • Mock Tests: Focus on speed and accuracy. The CBT format rewards those who can manage time under pressure.
  • Official Sources Only: For any last-minute changes or updates, keep refreshing the official RRB websites. Avoid rumors circulating on unverified social media groups.

Final Verdict

The Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) role is the backbone of Indian Railways. It demands technical precision and mental alertness. With the revised schedule out, the “signal” is green. Prepare well, verify your documents, and get ready to lead the Indian Railways into the future!

Good luck, Aspirants! The tracks are waiting.
