Railway Recruitment Board NTPC Graduate Level examination  City Intimation Slip for CEN 06/2025 is now live,agar aap bhi wait kar rahe the… this is the moment you have been looking for. This update confirms your exam city and date, allowing you to plan your travel and finalize your preparation strategy. While the final admit card is still pending, this intimation is your first official confirmation that the examination process is moving forward as scheduled.

 ◾️Why City Intimation Matters

If exam city is different from home city, you need time to arrange travel and accommodation. Last-minute bookings are expensive and stressful. Some candidates get centers in nearby cities, others might get 100-200 km away depending on applicants and available infrastructure. RRB tries to allot as per preference given during application but it is not guaranteed.

◾️ What to Do After Getting City Intimation

  • Book travel tickets immediately if city is far. Train bookings fill up quickly near exam dates. Keep backup travel options ready.
  • Search for hotels or PG accommodations near major exam center areas. Many students reach exam city one day before to avoid travel stress on exam morning. 

Few more tips:

- Check Google Maps for railway station, bus stand, major landmarks

- Contact relatives or friends in that city for stay arrangements

- Join Telegram groups of candidates appearing in same city — share travel and accommodation costs

- Keep city intimation slip safe for reference

◾️Confusion Check:

Intimation Slip vs Final Admit Card

Many candidates confuse the City Intimation Slip with the final Admit Card, leading to unnecessary stress on exam day. It is vital to understand that these are two separate documents serving different purposes. The City Intimation is a preliminary notice designed to help you book travel and accommodation if your exam center is in a different city.

 : Document Type

Information: City Intimation Slip (Preliminary)

 : Content Included

Information: Exam City Name, Exam Date, Shift Timing (sometimes)

 : Missing Details

Information: Exact Center Address, Room Number, Candidate Photograph

You must remember that this slip alone will not grant you entry into the examination hall. The final Admit Card, which contains the specific center address and your photograph, will be released approximately four days before your scheduled exam. Ignore rumors suggesting otherwise and focus on downloading both documents when they become available.

◾️Access Guide:

How to Download Your City Slip

Accessing your slip is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail to avoid login errors. The links are region-specific, meaning you must visit the official website of the RRB region where you applied. If you applied through RRB Chennai, do not check the RRB Mumbai portal.

  1. Visit your respective regional RRB website
  2. Look for the notification titled CEN 06/2025 City Intimation for Exam Date 16.03.2026
  3. Enter your Registration Number and Date of Birth or Password
  4. Verify the displayed city and date on the screen
  5. Download the PDF and take a physical printout

If you face issues logging in, use the Forgot Password link available on the candidate portal. You will need your registered mobile number and email ID to recover your credentials. Do not wait until the last minute to check this, as server traffic often increases near the exam date.

 ◾️Bag Check: 

Mandatory vs Prohibited Items

Preparation is not just about studying for months. It is also about making sure you do not get disqualified at the exam center due to missing documents or carrying wrong items. Every year thousands of students face problems because of this. Security checks are strict at all centers — CCTV cameras everywhere, proper frisking before entry. If you carry any prohibited item, your candidacy can be cancelled on the spot.

Best practice? Organize your bag the night before. Morning rush leads to silly mistakes that can cost you the entire opportunity.

Mandatory Items to Carry

Admit Card Printout is the most important document. RRB releases final admit card approximately 4 days before exam. Download and take 2-3 printouts. Keep one in bag, one in pocket. Color print preferred but black and white works if details are clearly visible.

Original Photo ID Proof must match name on application. Acceptable IDs include Aadhar, Voter ID, PAN Card, Driving License, or Passport. Photocopies not accepted. If name spelling differs slightly between ID and application, carry 10th marksheet as supporting document.

Other mandatory items:

- Recent passport-size photographs (same as uploaded) — carry 2-3 extra with registration number written on back

- Black or blue ballpoint pen — carry two as backup

- Transparent water bottle

Strictly Prohibited Items

These items can lead to immediate disqualification:

- Electronic devices — mobile phones, smartwatches, fitness bands, Bluetooth earphones (even switched off phones not allowed)

- Calculators or digital computing devices — on-screen calculator provided if needed

- Paper notes, books, chits, formula sheets — security checks pockets and wallets thoroughly

- Bags, pouches, wallets with multiple compartments, pencil boxes

- Food items, cigarettes, tobacco products

Leave your phone at home or in vehicle. Some centers have lockers but they are not responsible for lost items. Not worth the risk.

 ◾️Quick Tips:

For Document Management

Keep ID proof in front pocket for easy access — you will show it multiple times from gate entry to seat allocation. Reach center 60-90 minutes before reporting time. This gives buffer for security queues. Wear simple clothes without too many pockets or metallic items — speeds up frisking process.

 ◾️Last 48 Hours Strategy:

What to Do and What to Avoid

  • With exam date confirmed, these final two days are critical. But here is the truth that toppers understand — these 48 hours are not for studying hard. They are for staying calm and mentally stable.
  • Whatever you have studied in past months is your actual preparation. Your goal now is to maintain accuracy, keep speed intact, and let your mind stay fresh. Cramming at last moment creates confusion and anxiety which directly impacts performance.
  • Many students make the mistake of studying 12-14 hours in last two days. It does the opposite of helping. Tired mind makes silly mistakes even in easy questions.

Do This in Last 48 Hours

  • Fix your sleep cycle to match exam timings. If morning shift, sleep by 10 PM and wake by 6 AM. Your brain should be most alert during exam window. Start this 2 days before, not on exam day.
  • Do light revision only — formulas, shortcuts, static GK notes, last 6 months current affairs. Spend 2-3 hours maximum. Go through previous mock test mistakes but do not solve them again. Just understand why you got them wrong.
  • Keep documents ready in transparent folder the night before. Check admit card, ID, photographs, pen. Keep folder near your bed.

Other basics:

- Eat light and healthy — avoid oily food that makes you sleepy

- Stay hydrated but control water intake 2 hours before exam

- Light walking or exercise helps reduce anxiety

Avoid This in Last 48 Hours

  • Do not touch new topics or difficult chapters. If you do not know something by now, trying to learn in 48 hours will only confuse you. Accept your preparation level.
  • Avoid late night studying. Sleep deprivation reduces brain function significantly. Eight hours sleep before exam day is non-negotiable.
  • Stay away from social media exam discussions — paper leak rumors, difficulty predictions, all create unnecessary panic. Focus on your own preparation.
  • Do not change attempt strategy suddenly. If you have been attempting reasoning first in mocks, continue same. Sudden changes waste precious time.
  • Avoid energy drinks or new food experiments. Stick to regular diet. Some students try caffeine pills thinking it helps — often causes stomach issues or over-alertness leading to careless errors.

Frequently Asked Questions 

1. Is the city intimation slip the same as the admit card?

No, it is not the same. The city intimation only informs you about the city and date of your exam. The final admit card, which includes the exact center address and your photograph, will be released separately. You must download both.

2. I applied for RRB NTPC Graduate, but I haven't received the city intimation. What should I do?

The city intimation is released region-wise and may be uploaded in batches. Keep refreshing your respective RRB region's official website. If you still cannot see it by 14 March, contact the RRB helpdesk for your region.

3. Can I change my exam city after seeing the intimation?

No, the exam city allotted to you is final. Requests for a change of city are generally not accepted due to administrative and logistical constraints.

4. What should I carry to the exam center?

You must carry a printed copy of the final admit card (once released), a valid original photo ID (like Aadhar or Voter ID), and a passport-size photo (if not printed on the admit card). The city intimation slip alone will not allow you to enter the exam hall.

5. I forgot my registration number. How can I download the city intimation?

You can usually retrieve your registration number using the "Forgot Registration Number" or "Forgot Password" link on the candidate login page. You will need your date of birth, mobile number, and registered email ID to recover it.

FINAL WORDS 

Stay focused and trust your preparation. Reach center well before reporting time mentioned on admit card. Keep all documents handy and follow instructions given by exam staff.
