🛤️ 1. 📍 What Is the City Intimation Slip?The
city intimation slip is a preliminary document released by the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) that tells candidates
which city their exam will be held in — but
not the exact exam center location. It’s different from the
admit card/hall ticket, which includes the detailed exam centre address.
🗓️ 2. 📆 When Is It Expected?According to the RRB
official notification, the city intimation slip is usually released
about 10 days before the exam. For the
ALP CBT 1 2026 exam, this means the slip was expected around
6 February 2026.
Exam dates:- RRB ALP CBT 1 is scheduled on 16, 17, and 18 February 2026.
📥 3. 🆕 Current Status — Released or Incoming?Several recent reports indicate that
city intimation slips for some exam dates have already been published on RRB regional websites (e.g., for the 13 Feb batch and others), and candidates can now
download their slips online.RRB may roll out additional slips in
phased batches leading up to the full CBT‑1 schedule so all candidates receive their city details in time for the exam.

travel and stay well ahead of exam day — even before the admit card is issued.
🪪 6. 📄 Admit Card Timeline — Important Follow‑UpThe
ALP admit card (e‑call letter) — containing detailed exam centre address — will
be released around 4 days before your scheduled exam date, as per the RRB timeline.
So if your exam is on
16 Feb, expect the admit card roughly around
12 Feb (tentative).
📌 7. 🧭 Why Get the City Slip Early?Getting the city slip
earlier than the admit card has major benefits:
- You can arrange travel & accommodation without last‑minute rush.
- It reduces exam‑day stress if your centre is in another city.
- You can prepare logistics if you’re from far away or require advance planning.
🔎 8. 📍 Tips for Candidates- Always download directly from RRB official sites — avoid unofficial sources.
- Keep your registration number and DOB ready for login.
- Carry the city slip printout when traveling; some candidates use it for ticket planning (e.g., travel authority).
