The Ministry of Railways has issued a notice outlining the tentative schedule for the Computer Based Test (CBT-1) under CEN 07/2025 for Non-Technical Popular Categories (Under Graduate). The recruitment process will be conducted by the Railway Recruitment Boards across multiple centres.
According to the notification, the CBT-1 examination for undergraduate-level posts will be held in multiple phases across May and June. The examination is part of the ongoing recruitment drive for various non-technical positions within Indian Railways.
Exam dates and access to city details
The schedule indicates that the CBT-1 will take place on May 07, 08 and 09, followed by additional dates on June 13, 14 and from June 16 to June 21. Candidates will be able to check their allotted exam city and date through a link that will be activated 10 days before their respective examination dates.
The same portal will also allow eligible SC and ST candidates to download their travel authority documents. The Railway Recruitment Boards have stated that this information will be available only through official websites.
E-call letters for the examination will be released four days prior to the candidate’s scheduled exam date. Candidates must download and carry the call letter along with valid identification documents to gain entry into the examination centre.
Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication will be conducted at the test venue before candidates are allowed into the examination hall. Individuals are required to carry either their original Aadhaar card or a printout of an e-verified Aadhaar document.
Aadhaar compliance and verification process Candidates have been advised to ensure that their Aadhaar details are accurate and updated. This includes correct name, date of birth as per Class 10 certificate, latest photograph, address and father’s name. Authorities have also instructed candidates to keep their Aadhaar status unlocked in the UIDAI system on the day of the examination.
Even those who completed Aadhaar verification during the application process have been asked to recheck their status to avoid delays during entry and registration procedures at the exam centre.
Advisory against misinformation The Railway Recruitment Boards have cautioned candidates to rely solely on official websites for updates related to the recruitment process. The notice also warns against fraudulent agents or touts offering job assurances in exchange for money.
Officials reiterated that the selection process is strictly based on the Computer Based Test, with no alternative methods of recruitment being followed.
