RRB notice of 8 October 2026, CEN 01/2025 (ALP): candidates must produce the vision certificate in original, in the prescribed format (Annexure VI-A), at the time of entry for the Computer Based Aptitude Test. A candidate without it is not allowed to attend the exam.
The psycho test has a gate before the screen. On the day of the CBAT, before you reach the computer, you hand over a vision certificate: a one-page form, Annexure VI-A of CEN 01/2025, filled and signed by an eye specialist, with your photograph on it. The RRB's notice of 8 October 2026 says in plain words that without this certificate, in original and in this format, you are not allowed into the exam. Months of preparation for the five tests can end at the gate over a missing seal.
This article gives the format in Hindi and English, exactly as the RRB published it, explains every box, says who may sign it and what the seal must show, and walks through getting it made, step by step, so that nothing is left for the gate to find. The five tests themselves are in the complete guide to the RRB ALP psycho test; the day of the exam is in exam day in the ALP psycho test.
Print the page you will use on A4 paper, full size, with nothing cut off at the edges. The notice carries the format in both languages; the English one (page 4) is the Annexure as it stands in the CEN, so print that one unless your eye specialist prefers to fill the Hindi one (page 3). Print two copies, so that a slip of the pen does not cost you a second visit.
Point 5 is the one that catches candidates. A signature and a round stamp with a name on it are not enough. The seal has to say what the doctor studied in ophthalmology and what post they hold at that hospital.
The English page, as the RRB published it:
The Hindi page of the same notice:
Government or private? The notice names no kind of hospital; it names the doctor. The surest places are the eye department of a government or district hospital, a medical college hospital, or a railway hospital, because their specialists' seals carry the designation as a matter of routine. A private eye hospital's ophthalmologist is acceptable when the seal carries the qualification and the position. Pindel Sir's rule for his batches: read the seal before you leave the hospital, with the notice's point 5 in your hand.
The schedule came on 1 October 2026 and the notice on the certificate on 8 October 2026, so the window is now. The notice gives no validity period for the certificate, so a certificate made today serves for the CBAT; do not wait for the admit card to be released before you go to the hospital. When your CBAT call letter arrives, read it for anything more it asks you to bring, and carry that too.
The standard on the certificate is the medical standard of the Assistant Loco Pilot post, and the railway tests the same eyes again at its own medical examination after selection. A certificate that says "does not conform" cannot be mended by another doctor's pen, and a candidate who has had LASIK or any surgery to correct refractive error cannot be certified on this form. If you wear glasses for distance, have your unaided vision read before you worry; many candidates who wear glasses for comfort still read 6/6 without them. Talk to the eye specialist plainly. It is better to know now than at the gate.
The certificate gets you to the screen. What happens on the screen is the five tests, and a T-Score of 42 or more in each.

Yes. The RRB notice of 8 October 2026 for CEN 01/2025 says the vision certificate must be produced in original, in the prescribed format (Annexure VI-A), at the time of entry for the CBAT, failing which the candidate is not allowed to attend the exam.
Annexure VI-A of CEN 01/2025. The RRB reproduced it with clarity in its notice of 8 October 2026 because some words overlapped in the earlier print, and it states there is no change in the format. The notice carries it in English and in Hindi.
An eye specialist (ophthalmologist). The notice requires that the specialist's seal clearly shows their ophthalmology-related education and their position in that hospital as eye specialist. The certificate also has a box for the specialist's registration number, and it must carry their signature and seal.
The notice names no type of hospital; it names the doctor. What is checked is the eye specialist's qualification and position on the seal, the registration number, the signature and the format. A government hospital or a medical college's eye department is the surest choice; a private eye hospital's ophthalmologist is acceptable when the seal meets the notice's requirement.
No. The standard printed on the certificate is 6/6 in each eye without glasses for distant vision, with a fogging test, and Sn. 0.6 in each eye without glasses for near vision. The specialist records what your eyes read unaided.
The certificate carries the line that the candidate has not undergone LASIK surgery or any surgery to correct refractive error, and the specialist signs it. A candidate who has had such surgery cannot be given this certificate.
No. The notice says the certificate must be produced in original. Keep photocopies for your own record, and carry the original.
A colour passport-size photograph of 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm, the same one you used when registering the online application, pasted in the box on the certificate and attested by the eye specialist. You sign under it.
Now. The CBAT schedule was published on 1 October 2026 and the notice on the certificate on 8 October 2026; the notice gives no validity period. Get it made at once, keep the original safe, and read your CBAT call letter for anything more it asks for.
