The Railway Recruitment Boards have switched on the download link for the Junior Engineer first-stage test under CEN 04/2026. Candidates who applied for the 4,029 JE, Depot Material Superintendent and Chemical & Metallurgical Assistant posts can now collect their e-call letters ahead of the computer based test on 27-10-2026 and 28-10-2026. This is a separate step from the city intimation slip issued on 17-10-2026: the hall ticket carries your centre address, shift and reporting time, so download it well before exam day and check every detail on it.
