Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can I download my admit card from a mobile phone?
Ans. Yes, you can access the login portal and download the PDF from a mobile device. However, you must print the admit card on paper before going to the exam centre – a mobile screenshot is not accepted as proof.
Q2. I forgot my password. How do I log in?
Ans. Click the “Forgot Password” link on the rrb.digialm.com login page. Enter your Registration Number and email/mobile, and RRB will send a password reset link. Follow the instructions to create a new password and log in.
Q3. My exam centre is very far. Can I request a change?
Ans. RRB assigns exam centres based on your registered district and candidate load balancing. Requests for change are not normally accepted after the exam city intimation has been released. Contact your regional RRB office with a valid reason (e.g., medical emergency) and supporting documents – approval is not guaranteed.
Q4. What is the reporting time, and when does the exam start?
Ans. The exact reporting time and exam start time are printed on your individual admit card. Arrive at least 30 minutes before the reporting time. Gates may close once the exam has started, and late arrivals are not permitted.
Q5. Can I appear for CBT 2 without a valid photo ID?
Ans. No. A valid original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving License) is mandatory. Photocopies, expired IDs, or digital copies on a phone are not accepted. Without an ID, you will be denied entry.
Q6. Is the admit card valid if it’s printed in black & white instead of colour?
Ans. Yes, a black and white printout is acceptable. Ensure the admit card is printed clearly and legibly, and that your photograph is visible (even if printed in grayscale).
Q7. What happens if my admit card does not open or the portal shows an error?
Ans. Clear your browser cache and cookies, try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), or use a mobile browser. If the error persists, try accessing the portal at a different time – the server may be congested on release day. Contact your regional RRB office if the issue continues.
Q8. Can I take a printed copy of the official notification to the exam centre instead of the admit card?
Ans. No. The admit card is the only document RRB accepts as proof of eligibility. The official notification is not a substitute.
