Why the City Intimation Slip is Important
Many candidates confuse the city slip with the admit card, but it is important to note the distinction. The city intimation slip is released earlier to help candidates:
- Know their exam city in advance.
- Plan travel and accommodation if the center is located far away.
- Prepare mentally for their reporting time and shift.
The admit card, on the other hand, will provide the specific exam center address and will be mandatory for entry into the examination hall.
