Difference Between City Slip and Admit Card
Many candidates get confused between the Intimation Slip and the Admit Card. It is important to know the difference:
- City Intimation Slip: Released 10 days before the exam. It only tells you the City (e.g., Bhopal, New Delhi) and the Date. You cannot enter the exam hall with this slip.
- Admit Card (E-Call Letter): Released 4 days before your exam date. This document contains the actual Exam Center Name and Address. You must carry the printed Admit Card to the center.
When will the Admit Card come?
Since the exam starts on February 11, 2026, you can expect the final Admit Card download link to activate around February 7, 2026.
Exam Pattern and Shift Timings
The RRB Section Controller exam (CEN 04/2025) is a Computer Based Test (CBT).
- Vacancies: 368 Posts
