Efforts are being made by RRBs to ensure that as far as possible the candidates are accommodated in their own State so that they can reach their Exam centres by undertaking the overnight journey. Female and PWD candidates are accommodated within their home states.
However, considering the skewed distribution of candidates area-wise, there will be unavoidable interstate movements. Railways will be running special exam trains to cater to the travel requirements of the candidates, wherever required and feasible. Chief Secretaries of concerned State Governments have also been requested to extend support of local administration to RRBs for conducting CBTs in a secure and safe manner ensuring social distancing.
Candidates will be checked for the temperature at entry using Thermo guns before Railway Recruitment Exam 2020. Candidates having temperatures more than prescribed limits will not be allowed inside the exam venue. Intimation in this regard will also be sent to their registered email and mobile number regarding the rescheduling of such candidates.
The exact date of the re-scheduled exam of such candidates will be intimated subsequently. The candidate should use his/her own facemask. The candidate has to produce COVID-19 self-declaration in the prescribed format at the entry and in absence of the same he/she will not be allowed into the exam venue.
Proper arrangement of crowd management will be made as per COVID-19 protocol from the Main Gate to the Exam-Labs ahead of Railway recruitment drive. After each shift, the exam centre will be sanitized before starting another shift.
