This allows candidates to plan travel, accommodation and logistics in advance — especially important for those travelling across states.
Final admit cards, which include centre address, roll number etc., will be released after this slip.

🧠 What You Should Do Once Slip is Downloaded
Verify all details: Make sure your registration number, name, city and shift are correct. If something seems wrong, contact your regional RRB immediately.
Plan travel & stay: If you’re allotted a city far from home, book accommodation and travel early (this is especially true as the exam is in Nov-Dec when many educate may be travelling).
Relocate if needed: Make sure to reach the test city a day in advance — avoid last-minute rush.
Keep multiple copies: Print at least two copies of the slip and save a digital version.
Don’t mistake it for admit card: Remember, you’ll still need the actual admit card (hall ticket) to enter the exam hall.
Prepare for shift timing: Pay attention to the shift (morning/afternoon) and plan your day accordingly (sleep, travel, reach centre).
Check travel documents: Valid photo ID, printed slip, admit card after release — all these will be required.
