City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card – understand the difference
Many students get confused between the two. Here is the clear difference:
| Point | City Intimation Slip | Admit Card |
|---|---|---|
| When it arrives | ~1 week before exam | 3–4 days before exam |
| What it shows | Exam city only | Full centre address + timing |
| Required in exam hall? | No | Yes, no entry without it |
| Purpose | Travel / hotel planning | Entry pass to the exam hall |
What if you can’t log in?
- Check your Registration Number: make sure you are not entering the wrong number or a typo.
- Try both Password and DOB: login often works with Date of Birth as well.
- If the website is slow: traffic is very high on release day – try again after some time or late at night.
- Forgot password: use “Forgot Password” to reset, or use your OTR (One Time Registration) credentials.
What should you actually do while waiting for the slip?
Refreshing the website again and again will not make the slip arrive faster. These final days are your most valuable time for practice and revision. The biggest change in SSC CGL 2026 is Sectional Timing – a separate 15 minutes for each section, with no going back. If you have not practised in this new pattern, your time management can collapse inside the exam hall.
So until the slip arrives, make sure you solve real PYQ papers in the new 2026 sectional format – this sets your speed, accuracy and section-wise time control before exam day.
