📥 What Is an FMGE Exam City Slip?
The Exam City Slip (or City Intimation Slip) is a document that tells candidates the city allotted for their FMGE examination centre. It does not show the exact exam centre address — that will be available later when the admit cardis released.
This document helps candidates:
Identify the exam city early
Arrange travel and accommodation
Plan their exam day logistics before the hall ticket is issued
Usually, the admit card with the full exam centre address and reporting time is published about a week before the exam, which this time is expected on January 14, 2026.

It’s common for aspirants to schedule trains, buses, or flights right after receiving the city slip so they don’t face crowding or high prices close to the exam date.
