What is the Exam City Intimation Slip (City Slip)?
The city slip is an advance notification that tells each candidate the city (or district) where their exam centre will be located. It is intentionally released before the final admit card to give candidates sufficient time to:
- confirm travel logistics (train/bus/flight bookings),
- make lodging arrangements if they must travel out of town, and
- plan local transit and time required to reach the centre on the exam day.
Importantly, the city slip does not provide the exact examination centre address or the hall entry instructions — those details are printed on the admit card, which will be released closer to the exam date. The city slip therefore functions as a planning tool and should be saved/printed for reference.
How to download your UPSSSC Junior Assistant Exam City Slip (step-by-step)
UPSSSC follows a standard login-based download process. Use the official commission website whenever possible — avoid third-party mirrors unless they simply link back to UPSSSC.
- Open a browser and go to https://upsssc.gov.in.
- Click the link titled “Download Exam City Intimation Slip for Advt. No. 12-Exam/2024” (or similar wording). The link usually opens a candidate login page.
- Enter the required credentials — typically Registration Number / Application ID, Date of Birth, Gender, and the displayed Captcha/Verification Code. Submit.
- Your city/district allotment will appear on screen. Download the PDF and take 2–3 printed copies. Save the PDF to your phone and cloud storage as a backup.
If you have difficulty locating the link on the homepage, use the site’s search or the “Latest Updates”/“Notifications” section. Several recruitment news portals mirror the official link in their articles; use those only if they redirect to the UPSSSC domain.
What information is printed on the city slip?
City slips commonly include:
- Candidate name and registration/roll number
- Allotted exam city / district (not the centre address)
- Exam date and shift/slot (e.g., 01 Feb 2026, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM)
- Reporting instructions (general guidance, though exact centre entry times appear on the admit card)
- Short instructions or disclaimers (e.g., city slip is for informational purposes only).
Because the city slip does not constitute permission to sit the exam, it will typically be labeled clearly as “City Intimation” or “District Advance Information” and will remind candidates that the actual admit card / hall ticket will be released separately.
City slip vs hall ticket card what’s the difference?
Many candidates confuse the two. Here’s a simple table:
- City slip (released now) — shows only the allotted exam city/district; used for planning travel and accommodation.
- Admit card (released later) — the official hall ticket containing exact centre name, centre address, roll number, photograph, signature and exam-day instructions. Only the admit card will permit entry to the exam hall.
Always carry the printed admit card (not just the city slip) when you go to the exam centre. The city slip is helpful in advance, but it will not be accepted as an entry document.
Common problems while downloading & how to fix them
- Forgot registration number / login details — check the confirmation email or SMS you received at the time of application. If those cannot be retrieved, use the helpline/contact options on the UPSSSC website for guidance.
- Captcha or verification failures — ensure the captcha is entered exactly as shown (case sensitive). Try clearing browser cache or switching browsers (Chrome, Firefox). Disable ad-blockers or pop-up blockers that might interfere with form submission.
- Server busy / site slow — city slip release days cause high traffic. Try during off-peak hours (early morning or late night). If the portal remains inaccessible, reputable portals (Testbook, Adda247, FreeJobAlert) will often publish the same link or direct the official URL. However, avoid uploading personal data to third-party sites.
- Data mismatch or missing slip — if your application was accepted but no city slip appears, verify your application status on UPSSSC (eligibility/shortlisting). Then contact UPSSSC helpline via the contact details on their site. Keep your application confirmation handy when contacting support.
Practical planning tips after city allotment
- Book travel and stay early. City slips enable you to reserve accommodation near likely clusters of exam centres; popular districts fill up quickly on exam weekends.
- Check local travel time. Identify multiple routes to your expected centre city and add a cushion of 60–90 minutes for day-of delays.
- Keep original IDs ready. The admit card will require a government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, Driving Licence); ensure the name on your ID matches the name on the application/admit card.
- Prepare for last-mile logistics. If you need to travel early in the morning on the exam day, check local transport schedules and pre-book a cab if necessary.
- Monitor admit card release. UPSSSC generally releases admit cards a few days to a couple of weeks before the exam — watch the site and your registered contact channels.
After the exam — what to expect
After the exam is conducted on 1 February 2026, UPSSSC will follow its standard post-exam processes: provisional answer keys, objection window (if applicable), final answer key and result declaration (cut-offs and merit list). Keep checking the official website and your registered email/phone for updates.
Where to get official help
- Official website: https://upsssc.gov.in — primary source for city slips, admit cards, notifications and contact details.
- Helpdesk / Email: The UPSSSC website lists helpline numbers and an official email for technical and registration queries — use those for account and slip-related problems.
Closing note
The release of the UPSSSC Junior Assistant Exam City Intimation Slip 2026 is a welcome early signal for candidates: it transforms uncertainty about location into concrete logistics planning. Use the slip to book travel, confirm lodging, and prepare time buffers so you can reach the exam centre relaxed and ready. Remember — the city slip is only informational; the official admit card is mandatory for entry. If you face problems downloading your city slip, contact UPSSSC immediately and keep copies of your application confirmation handy.
