Difference Between City Intimation Slip & Admit Card
Candidates must understand the distinction between both documents:
- City Intimation Slip (Released 7 September): Informs candidates about the allotted Exam City, Date, and Shift timing to enable travel planning and train reservations (including free travel passes for SC/ST candidates). It is not an entry pass.
- e-Call Letter / Admit Card (Releasing 13 September): Contains the exact examination centre address, reporting time, gate closing time, roll number, and candidate photograph with barcode. This is the mandatory document required for examination hall entry.
