RRBs have advised candidates to verify their primary details using Aadhaar while filling out the application.

The notice states that the candidate's name and date of birth in Aadhaar should match 100% with the full name and date of birth mentioned in the Class 10 certificate.

Candidates are also advised to ensure that their Aadhaar has their latest photograph and updated biometric details, including fingerprints and iris, before submitting the application.

The verification is intended to help avoid inconvenience and delays during scrutiny for applications that are not Aadhaar-verified.

RRB NTPC 2026 CBT Exam Date

The RRB NTPC 2026 Computer-Based Test (CBT) dates have not been announced in the indicative notices.

RRBs will announce the examination schedule separately through the official recruitment channels. Candidates should rely on the official RRB websites and notifications for updates regarding the CBT, city intimation slip and admit card.

The notices for CEN 06/2026 and CEN 07/2026 are specifically described as indicative in nature.

They have been issued to inform prospective candidates about the upcoming NTPC recruitment and allow them to prepare the necessary certificates and documents in advance.

The notices do not replace the detailed CEN. RRB has stated that the terms and conditions, eligibility criteria, recruitment procedure and other requirements will be governed by the respective detailed notifications and any subsequent corrigenda.
