🛤️ 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.

💻 4. 📥 How to Download Your City Slip

Once released, candidates can follow these steps:

Visit the official RRB regional website (such as rrbcdg.gov.in).

Look for a link like “RRB ALP City Intimation Slip 2026”.

Enter your registration number and date of birth.

View city details on screen and download/save the slip.

🧑‍🎓 5. 🧠 What the City Slip Tells You

The city slip typically lists:
✔ Your name and registration number
✔ Exam city (district) allotted
✔ Exam date and shift timing
This helps you plan travel and stay well ahead of exam day — even before the admit card is issued.

🪪 6. 📄 Admit Card Timeline — Important Follow‑Up

The 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).
  • Admit card with full exam centre details is mandatory on exam day.
