HOW TO APPEAR IN INDIAN RAILWAY EXAM

• In the event of fulfilling the conditions of eligibility led down for the post, you will be issued a call letter well in advance of the day of examination. 
• The call letter will also have a set of guidelines (enclosed) on to how to answer a question paper of multiple choice objective type. You must read these instructions carefully so that you have a good idea of the nature of the written examination before you actually appear for it.  
• If you do not receive your call letter within a reasonable time before the date of examination, you can obtain a duplicate one only from RRB/RRC premises on specified dates which shall be notified in the Employment News. Remember, you shall be given a duplicate call letter only if you are eligible in all respects and had originally been sent a call letter which did not reach you or contained errors. 
•  You should examine the call letter to ensure all details pertaining to your candidature, identity, address etc. have been correctly depicted. If any modifications are required, a duplicate call letter will be issued as stated above. 
• Please ensure that you preserve your call letter carefully, and bring it along with you for appearing in the examination. Remember, unless you have the original call letter with you, you will not be admitted to the examination premises.
• Please ensure that you arrive at the examination venue well in time. Read the name of the venue and its full address carefully, and report only to that venue. RRB may select venues for the examination which have similar sounding names and located close to each other.

• The answer sheet is a thicker sheet to which a thinner carbonless copy is firmly attached. Do not remove or tamper with the carbonless copy or make any separate entries in it.  
• The answer script known as OMR (Optical Mark Reader) sheet will generally be found inside the question paper booklet. However, it could also be supplied separately. On receipt of the question papers and OMR sheets, ensure the following:
  
  a) Open the seal(s) only as directed in the question paper booklet.
  
  b) Read all the instructions on the face of the question paper booklet and its reverse very carefully. Similarly, read the instructions given on the face of the OMR sheets or its reverse carefully. Ensure full compliance of these instructions.
•  The q
• uestion paper booklet and OMR answer sheet will require you to make entries with regard to your candidature. Some of these data must be entered in format readable by a computer scanner. Make sure that such entries are made very carefully. Any mistake may render your answer sheet invalid for evaluation.
•  If the questions require some rough work, you will generally find provision for rough work made at the bottom of each page of the question paper and the inside sheet of the last page. Do not use any other space for doing the rough work except this space.
•  Select your answer to each question carefully and then darken the appropriate circle against each question number. Remember, once you have darkened an answer circle it is final and no change of answer is possible.
• At present all RRB examinations require a passage to be written in one's own running handwriting in the question paper booklet or OMR answer sheet. Such passage is given in the question paper booklet with clear instructions that reproduction of the same in one's own hand writing is compulsory. Make sure you do so in the space provided. Failure to do so will render your candidature liable for rejection.
•  At the end of the examination do not leave the hall without handing over the question paper booklet issued to you and the OMR sheet along with its carbonless copy undisturbed. Remember, if you do not return these documents intact to the invigilators at the end of the examination, your candidature will be rejected and you may also become liable for further punitive action as may be deemed fit by the RRB.
•  Above all , ensure that the selected answers are not marked in any way in the question paper. Remember any kind of mark including tick marks, circles, dots etc. against the answers may render your candidature liable for rejection.
