RRB Group D Admit Card 2026 Phase Wise Release Schedule

Since the CBT exam spans 19 days August 3 to August 21, 2026 RRB is not releasing all admit cards on a single date. Instead the release follows this pattern

Exam City Intimation Slip: Released roughly 10 days before a candidate’s scheduled exam date informing candidates of their allotted exam city not yet the exact centre.
Admit Card E-Call Letter: Released 4 days before each candidate’s specific exam date containing the exact exam centre shift timing and reporting time.

This means candidates scheduled for exams later in August will see their admit cards released later than those scheduled for early August. Always check your city intimation slip first to know your tentative exam window and then watch for your admit card closer to that date.

What’s Included in the RRB Group D Admit Card 2026

Once downloaded carefully verify that your admit card includes the following details correctly

Candidate’s full name and photograph
Registration number and roll number
Exam date and shift timing
Reporting time at the exam centre
Exam centre name and complete address
Candidate’s signature as uploaded during application
General instructions and exam day guidelines

Important: If you spot any discrepancy in your name photograph category or exam centre details report it to the concerned RRB immediately since corrections are unlikely to be possible at the exam centre itself on the day of the exam.

Difference Between Exam City Slip and Admit Card

Many first time candidates confuse these two documents here’s the key distinction

Document	Purpose	Released
Exam City Intimation Slip	Informs candidates of their allotted exam city only for travel planning	10 days before exam
Admit Card (E-Call Letter)	Confirms exact exam centre date, shift and reporting time required for entry	4 days before exam

The city slip is not valid for entry into the exam centre only the admit card serves that purpose. Candidates should use the city slip purely to plan travel and accommodation in advance and wait for the actual admit card to confirm their exact centre.
