The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs), under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, have activated the exam city and date intimation facility for Section Controller recruitment under CEN 03/2026. Candidates scheduled to take the Computer Based Test (CBT) on 12 or 13 October 2026 can log in to check their allotted exam city; SC/ST candidates can also access the Travel Authority through the relevant RRB website.
The recruitment covers 119 Section Controller vacancies across the RRBs. Applications were accepted online from 15 July to 14 August 2026, and the current update concerns exam arrangements rather than a new application window. The CBT is scheduled for 12 and 13 October 2026, with selection based on merit in the Computer Based Test. The city intimation slip is not the E-Call Letter: it shows the allotted city and exam date, while the E-Call Letter is expected to provide the exact centre address, reporting time and other exam instructions.

The age limit and any age-relaxation provisions are not specified in the city intimation information. Refer to the original CEN 03/2026 notification for the applicable age criteria.

The exact centre address and reporting time are expected in the E-Call Letter, not the city slip.
Salary & Pay Scale
The Section Controller post is listed at Level 6, with a stated pay of INR 35,400. The city intimation notice does not provide further pay components or allowances.
Selection Process
The stated selection method is a Computer Based Test (CBT), with selection based on candidates’ merit. The exam city notice does not set out any additional selection stages. RRBs also caution candidates to rely on official RRB websites and not to trust touts or anyone promising an appointment in return for illegal consideration.
Candidates scheduled for the CBT should check their city details promptly, download the relevant documents and follow the instructions in their E-Call Letter when it becomes available. Before travelling to the exam centre, keep the required Aadhaar identification ready and ensure it is unlocked in the UIDAI system.
Exam-Day Aadhaar Instructions
Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication will take place at the examination centre before candidates enter the exam hall. Bring the original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar. Candidates are advised to complete Aadhaar verification through their account at rrbapply.gov.in if they have not already done so. Even candidates who verified Aadhaar while applying are asked to ensure it remains unlocked in the UIDAI system before arriving at the centre.
The notice advises candidates to keep Aadhaar details updated, including their name, date of birth as recorded on the Class 10 certificate, latest photograph, address and father’s name. Biometrics should also be updated if they were not updated after reaching 15 years of age. Follow official RRB websites for further updates and contact the RRB helpdesk about discrepancies in the city slip.
