Check Your Application Status
Log in at rrbapply.gov.in with your account details to see your status. It will be one of three:

RRB has also sent the status by SMS and email to your registered contacts. All accepted candidatures remain provisional and can be cancelled at any stage if any data is found false or inconsistent. RRB will not entertain correspondence from rejected candidates.
Aadhaar Rules for Exam Day (Very Important)
- Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is done at the centre before entry. Carry your original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar.
- If you have not yet verified your Aadhaar, log in at rrbapply.gov.in and complete Aadhaar verification before the exam.
- Make sure your Aadhaar biometrics are unlocked in the UIDAI system before you go to the centre. This applies even if you verified Aadhaar while applying.
- Your Aadhaar should show your correct name, a date of birth matching your Class 10 certificate, a recent photo, your father's name and your address. Biometrics should have been updated after age 15.
- Carry the printed e-call letter. SC/ST candidates travelling on the free pass should also carry their travel authority.
