🗓 Key Context & Important Dates
The RSMSSB VDO Recruitment 2025 offers 850 vacancies (683 in Non-TSP areas + 167 in TSP areas) for the post of Village Development Officer.
The exam is scheduled for 2 November 2025 (Sunday) in offline (OMR) mode.
On 28 October 2025, RSMSSB issued the city-intimation slip (also called exam city slip) for all candidates.
This slip informs you about which city your exam will be held in — the exact venue and room will come in the admit card.
📍 What Exactly is the City-Intimation Slip & How Does District-Wise Allocation Work?
The city slip essentially tells you which city you’ll appear in — for example, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner etc. The board assigns test cities based on your choices at application stage + availability of seats/venues.
Though the board hasn’t released a full district-wise centre list publicly by all districts, it is known that RSMSSB tries to allocate centres within the candidate’s home district or a neighbouring city. Previously the board stated that exam centres will be within a 150 km radius from home district where feasible.
The actual venue (school/college/hall) will be visible on your admit card, closer to the exam date.
🖥 How to Check Your Allocated Test City – Step by Step
Here’s what you should do now that the city slip is released:
Visit the official RSMSSB website: rsmssb.rajasthan.gov.in. RSMSSB
Look for the notification/link labelled “VDO 2025 City Intimation Slip / Exam City Allocation”. (As per media, link launched 28 Oct)
Login with your Registration Number, Date of Birth, and any other credentials required.
Download and print the slip. It will show:
Your name and registration details
The city allotted for your test
Possibly the exam date/shift and other instructions
Once you receive your admit card later, check the precise venue address, room number and shift.
Important: If the city slip shows a city far from your district and you feel logistics will be impossible, check if the board offers helpdesk contact or change request (rare but sometimes allowed before final allotment).
🧳 Planning Travel & Logistics: District-Wise Tips
Since you now know your test city, use the remaining time to plan:
If you are allotted your home district or a nearby city:
Great — travel time will be minimal. Still it’s wise to visit the venue the evening before if possible, to avoid surprises.If the city is neighbouring or a different district:
Book your travel ahead of time (bus/train) because 2 Nov weekend may have heavy traffic.
Consider staying in a nearby hotel/guest-house the night before especially if the venue is far.
Leave early from home on exam day—aim to reach 60-90 minutes before shift start to complete entry formalities.
If you are in very remote district and city allocation is far:
Factor in road conditions, route, lodging costs.
Identify alternate travel routes in case of delays (weather/traffic).
Keep time buffer for unexpected delays.
District-wise volume: Although a full list isn’t published, RSMSSB covers all districts with centre allocations. Planning assumes that almost every applicant is allotted some city.
Venue information: Venue will be on admit card but you can mark major hubs (Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Ajmer etc.) on map and estimate travel/refreshment time ahead of time.
✅ What You Should Do Immediately
Print a copy of the city slip and stick it in your study spot so you don’t forget which city you’re going to.
Write down the city name and approximate travel time from your home.
Finalise lodging/travel if required (book now to avoid last-minute surge).
Double-check you have correct identity proofs, exam supplies, and sleep plan to arrive ready.
Continue your revision plan uninterrupted—don’t let commute worry distract you.
Monitor the board’s website for the admit card release, which will give the exact venue.
🧾 Why This Stage Matters
Having the city slip means the exam is very close — likely 1–2 weeks away (2 November 2025).
Knowing the city early reduces logistic stress and prevents disruptions on exam day.
Errors in city slip or mismatches must be corrected now, not at the last minute.
Your mindset is crucial: logistics done = focus returns fully to exam preparation.
