FAQs
1. When will the SSC CGL City Intimation Slip 2026 be released?
The exact release date has not yet been announced. SSC will activate the city information facility before the relevant examination stage.
2. Is the city intimation slip the same as the SSC CGL admit card?
No. The city slip gives advance exam-city and schedule information, while the admit card is the mandatory document containing detailed examination-centre instructions.
3. What should candidates carry to the examination centre?
Candidates must carry a printed admit card, an accepted original photo identity document and any additional items specified in the examination instructions. The city slip alone does not permit entry.
