The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) have released the RRB Group D City Intimation Slip 2026 under CEN 08/2024, which informs candidates of their allotted exam city and date for the upcoming Group D Computer-Based Test (CBT). This slip is an important logistics document issued ahead of the final admit card to help candidates plan travel and accommodation well in advance. The Group D recruitment drives one of the largest government hiring efforts, attracting millions of applications for Level-1 posts such as Track Maintainer Grade-4, Assistant Pointsman, Helper/Assistant and other support roles in Indian Railways. By releasing the city intimation slip ahead of time, RRB enables aspirants to organise their schedule and transportation for exam day
What the City Intimation Slip Includes?
The RRB Group D City Intimation Slip 2026 provides the following key information:
- The assigned exam city where the candidate will appear for the CBT.
- The scheduled exam date for the allotted city and batch.
- The shift timing for the computer-based test.
This slip does not contain the detailed exam centre address, which will be available later in the admit card issued a few days before the test day. Candidates must check their slip carefully to avoid confusion.
Why City Intimation Slips Matter?
City intimation slips are released phase-wise, typically around 9–10 days before each exam date, giving candidates early visibility of where and when they need to appear for their tests. This advance notice is especially helpful for those whose exam city is different from their hometown, as it allows planning for travel and accommodation.Because the RRB Group D recruitment spans several CBT dates across November 2025 into early 2026, slips continue to go live in batches according to the schedule. Candidates whose notifications are not yet visible are advised to check again closer to their specific exam dates.
What’s Next After City Intimation?
Once a candidate’s city intimation slip is available:
- Plan travel arrangements based on the allotted city and date.
- Monitor updates for the admit card, which will include the exact exam centre address and reporting time.

- Ensure to follow any reporting and exam-day instructions issued by RRB
The Group D CBT phases under CEN 08/2024 will be held on scheduled dates into early 2026, with exact timings and slots released along with the respective city intimation slips.Preparation and timely planning can help candidates minimise last-minute stress ahead of the examination.
