RRB NTPC UG city intimation slip 2026 is live

Overview

RRB NTPC UG city intimation slip 2026 is now live for candidates under CEN 07/2025, turning the undergraduate recruitment schedule into a practical exam-day checklist. The Railway Recruitment Boards issued the city-intimation notice on April 27, 2026, and said candidates can view their exam city and date through the official RRB websites.

This is a new checkpoint after the earlier tentative CBT 1 schedule. Candidates no longer need only the broad May and June exam calendar. They now need to log in, check the city assigned for their own exam date, note the travel authority rules where applicable, and prepare for e-call-letter download four days before the date shown in the city-intimation link.

The April 27 notice says the link for viewing the exam city and date, along with the travel authority download for eligible SC/ST candidates, is live on the official websites of all Railway Recruitment Boards. It also says candidates can view their exam city 10 days before the exam date assigned to them. That line is important because the city slip does not function like a single one-time mass release for every candidate at once.

For candidates, the city slip is not the final admit card. It is an advance intimation tool. It helps candidates plan travel, lodging, reporting logistics and document readiness before the e-call letter becomes available. Candidates should use only the official RRB website or the linked candidate login page. Forwarded links, screenshots and social-media claims are not reliable enough for a recruitment exam that requires login credentials and identity checks.

The city-intimation stage also gives candidates a chance to catch practical problems early. If the assigned city requires train travel, an overnight stay or a change in local transport, the candidate has more room to plan before the final e-call letter arrives. That matters for students and working candidates who may need leave, family coordination or budget planning before exam week.

Exam dates now listed by RRB

The notice repeats the CBT 1 dates for CEN 07/2025 NTPC Undergraduate posts. The exam is scheduled on May 7, May 8, May 9, June 13, June 14, June 16, June 17, June 18, June 19, June 20 and June 21, 2026. The split schedule means candidates should not assume that a friend's exam city, date or admit-card timing will match their own.

This is especially relevant for candidates in the first May phase. For a May 7 exam date, the 10-day city-slip window already matters in late April. For June dates, candidates may need to wait until their own date falls inside the 10-day window. The right approach is steady checking, not panic refreshing. Keep registration details ready and verify the official notice before acting on any claim that a city or shift has changed.

Candidates should also remember that the schedule covers undergraduate NTPC posts under CEN 07/2025, not every railway recruitment running at the same time. RRB websites often carry multiple CEN notices, answer-key links, city slips and e-call-letter links together. Pick the correct CEN and post level before entering credentials, because using the wrong login flow wastes time and can create unnecessary confusion close to the exam.

What candidates can download

The city-intimation flow lets candidates view the exam city and date. The same notice also refers to travel authority for SC/ST candidates. That travel authority can matter for eligible candidates who need to plan railway travel under the recruitment rules, so it should be downloaded and saved when available. Candidates should read the exact instructions attached to the login page because travel authority and e-call letter are not the same document.

RRB also states that e-call letters will start four days before the exam date mentioned in the city and date intimation link. That gives candidates two separate checkpoints: first, the city slip around 10 days before the exam; second, the e-call letter four days before the exam. The e-call letter is the document candidates must treat as the main entry paper once it is released. Print it clearly and keep the photo identity proof ready with matching details.

A careful candidate should save both digital and printed copies after download, but the exam-centre entry process should be planned around printed documents. If the login page is slow on the first day of a release window, wait and retry through the official link rather than searching for unofficial mirrors. The recruitment notice itself tells candidates to use official RRB websites for updates, and that is the safest rule for this stage.

How to check RRB NTPC UG city intimation slip 2026

1. Step 1: Open the official website of your Railway Recruitment Board or use the current candidate login link shown on the official RRB notice.
2. Step 2: Choose the CEN 07/2025 NTPC Undergraduate city-intimation or candidate-login option.
3. Step 3: Enter your registration number and date of birth or password exactly as required on the login page.
4. Step 4: View the exam city and date shown for your application, then save the details for travel planning.
5. Step 5: If you are eligible for SC/ST travel authority, download that document separately and read the conditions printed with it.
6. Step 6: Return four days before your exam date to download the e-call letter when the admit-card link becomes active.

Do not treat the city slip as permission to enter the exam hall by itself. It is an advance planning document. The e-call letter, original identity proof and exam-day instructions remain central. Candidates should also avoid third-party pages that ask for credentials outside the official login path. If login fails, use the helpdesk details from the official notice rather than sharing registration information in public groups.

Before logging in, keep the same registration details used during the application process. If you are helping a family member, do not guess the date-of-birth format or password after repeated failed attempts. Slow, accurate entry is better than locking yourself into a support problem. Once the city slip is visible, write down the exam city, date and any travel-authority status in one place so later admit-card planning is easier.

Documents and Aadhaar checks

The April 27 RRB notice says Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication will be done at the exam centre before entry into the exam hall. Candidates are required to bring their original Aadhaar card or a printout of e-verified Aadhaar. The notice also advises candidates to authenticate identification through Aadhaar verification at rrbapply.gov.in if they have not already done it, so that centre entry is smoother.

Another instruction deserves attention. Candidates, including those who verified Aadhaar during application submission, are asked to ensure that Aadhaar remains unlocked in the UIDAI system before coming to the exam centre. If Aadhaar is locked or details are outdated, entry formalities can become stressful. Candidates who enrolled before the age of 15 should also note the RRB reference to UIDAI instructions on biometric updates after attaining age 15. This is not a preparation-topic detail; it is an exam-entry detail.

Candidates should check these identity items before travel day, not on the morning of the exam. The name, date of birth and photograph on identity documents should be consistent with the application and e-call-letter details. If there is a known mismatch, candidates should read the e-call-letter instructions carefully and contact the official helpdesk where needed. Exam centres usually have little flexibility for identity problems at the gate.

What candidates should do now

The useful move now is to turn the notice into a short action list. First, confirm whether your exam date is close enough for the city slip to appear. Second, save the official login page and do not rely on screenshots. Third, check Aadhaar status, original ID availability and printed-document readiness well before travel. Fourth, plan travel only after checking your own city and date through the official login.

Candidates should also keep the RRB helpdesk number from the notice handy. RRB lists 9513166169 and says helpdesk timings are Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Use that route for login or clarification issues. The notice also warns candidates to refer only to official RRB websites and to avoid unauthenticated sources. That warning is not routine filler in this context; city slips and admit cards are common targets for fake-link circulation during large railway exams.

The preparation plan should now be tied to the candidate's own exam date. A May 7 candidate needs final revision, document printing and travel planning immediately. A June 20 candidate has more time, but should still use the city-intimation and e-call-letter schedule to build a realistic calendar. In both cases, the official notice has moved the process from general waiting to date-specific action.
