What is a City Intimation Slip? (Simple Explanation)

A City Intimation Slip is a short advance notice from the Railway Recruitment Board that tells you which city your exam centre is in and on which date your exam will be held. It comes out earlier than the admit card so that candidates get enough time to book train tickets and arrange a place to stay, especially if the exam city is far from home. Important: The city slip is NOT your admit card. You cannot enter the exam centre with the city slip alone. Your actual e-call letter (admit card), which shows your exact centre address and reporting time, will be released about 4 days before your exam date.

Important Instructions for RRB Technician Candidates

  • The city slip is not your e-call letter and does not allow you to appear in the exam
  • As stated in the instructions on the slip, there will be no change of exam date, city, shift or centre under any circumstances — plan your travel carefully
  • Carry your Aadhaar card along with another valid photo ID. Aadhaar-based biometric verification will be done at the exam centre
  • Authenticate your Aadhaar in advance by logging in at rrbapply.gov.in, if you have not already done so, even if you verified it at the time of application
  • Keep your Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system before you reach the exam centre
  • Make sure your Aadhaar has the correct name, date of birth (as per Class 10 certificate), latest photograph, biometrics (if not updated after age 15), address and father’s name
  • Follow only official RRB websites for updates and stay away from touts who promise jobs for money — selection is based only on CBT merit

RRB Technician CBT — Exam Pattern & Qualifying Marks

  • Exam Type: Single-stage Computer Based Test (CBT)
  • Number of Questions and Duration: 100 questions in 90 minutes
  • Negative Marking: 1/3 mark is deducted for every wrong answer. Unattempted questions carry no penalty
  • Paper Difference: The paper differs by pay level. For Level 5 (Technician Grade I Signal), the paper is weighted more towards Basic Science and Engineering. For Level 2 (Technician Grade III), the paper follows the general pattern of Mathematics, Reasoning, General Science and General Awareness used across railway exams
  • Normalisation: If the exam runs across many shifts with different papers, marks are normalised, and shortlisting uses normalised marks, not raw marks
Category Minimum Qualifying Marks in CBT
UR / EWS 40%
OBC-NCL 30%
SC 30%
ST 25%
PwBD candidates may get a 2-mark relaxation where there is a shortage of PwBD candidates against reserved vacancies.

What Happens After the City Slip? (Step-by-Step)

  • Step 2: E-Call Letter (Admit Card) — about 4 days before your exam date
  • Step 3: Computer Based Test (CBT) — 6 to 9 October 2026
  • Step 4: Document Verification
  • Step 5: Medical Examination — most Technician posts need B1 standard, while Track Machine posts need A3 standard

Travel & Exam-Week Planning Tips

  • Book your train tickets as soon as you see your exam city, since railway exam season often fills trains quickly — and remember that the exam city and date cannot be changed
  • If your exam city is far away, try to reach there a day before the exam and stay near the exam area so you are not stressed on exam morning
  • Check your Aadhaar details and unlock biometrics well before the exam, since biometric verification is done at the centre
  • Once your e-call letter is out, download and print it immediately, and check the reporting time and gate closing time carefully
  • Use the last few days for revision and full-length mock tests instead of learning new topics — remember that wrong answers carry a 1/3 mark penalty, so attempt only questions you are reasonably sure about
  • Do not trust anyone who promises a job for money — selection is purely through CBT merit, followed by document verification and medical exam
