Exam Day Reporting & Instructions
Biometric verification including thumb impression and photograph capture is mandatory at the exam centre. Your name on the admit card must match exactly with the name on your photo identity proof; mismatches may result in denial of entry. Arrive well before the reporting time stated on your admit card; the examination centre gate closes strictly at the time printed on your call letter, and no candidate is permitted entry after gate closure. Electronic devices including mobile phones, smartwatches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, and books are strictly prohibited inside the examination hall. Wear comfortable clothing without metal items or large buttons that could trigger security checks. The exam centre and date allotted are final; no requests for change of centre, date, or session will be entertained under any circumstances.
Admit Card Error | What to Do
If you notice any error on your admit card such as a name spelling mistake, incorrect photograph, wrong date of birth, or discrepancy in centre allocation, contact the RBI recruitment authorities immediately through the official portal or the recruitment email address provided in the notification. Do not assume the error will be corrected on exam day; errors found during centre verification delay entry and may jeopardise your examination. Report the issue as soon as the admit card is downloaded, not after reaching the exam centre.
