Candidates who applied for the SSC CHSL 2025 (Combined Higher Secondary Level) examination should note that the city intimation slip is now a key document in the lead-up to the exam. The slip informs you about the city in which your exam centre is allotted, giving you time to plan travel and logistics before the actual hall ticket/admit card is issued.
What is a City Intimation Slip?
The city intimation slip is a preliminary document released by SSC ahead of the official admit card. It contains:
The name of the exam city where your centre is located.
The exam date, shift timing, and reporting time.
Your registration number, candidate’s name, and other basic details.
Note: The city slip typically does not carry the full address of the test centre — that comes later via the admit card.

Important Dates for SSC CHSL 2025
According to multiple sources:
The Tier-1 exam for SSC CHSL 2025 is scheduled to begin from 12 November 2025 onwards.
The city intimation slip is expected to be released about 7-10 days before the exam date, which in this case would be around 3 November 2025 for the 12 Nov exam date.
The official admit card/hall ticket will be released subsequently, typically 3-4 days before the exam.
How to Download the City Slip & Admit Card
To download your city intimation slip or admit card, follow these steps:
Visit the official SSC website: ssc.gov.in
On the homepage or in the ‘Latest Notifications’/‘Admit Cards’ section, look for the link labelled “SSC CHSL 2025 – City Intimation Slip” or “Download Admit Card”.
Log in using your Registration Number / Roll Number + Date of Birth (or password) and possibly a CAPTCHA.
Once you log in, the slip/admit card appears — check all details carefully, download and take a print-out for reference.
Why This Slip Matters
Knowing your exam city early gives you time to plan travel or stay accommodation if the centre is located away from your hometown.
It reduces last-minute stress by letting you focus only on preparing, not on logistics.
It confirms your shift timing and reporting time, so you can organise your schedule accordingly.
Key Things to Check Before the Exam
Ensure your name, registration/roll number, exam city, exam date, shift/slot are all correct.
After the admit card is released, check the full address of the exam centre, which is provided in the hall ticket.
Carry a valid photo-ID proof, your city slip and/or admit card (as required) on the exam day.
Reach the centre well in advance — arrive at least 30 minutes before the reporting time.
Keep an eye on region-specific SSC websites if you’re under a particular regional jurisdiction (NR, WR, SR, etc).
In summary: If you have applied for SSC CHSL 2025, download your city intimation slip around 3 November 2025 from ssc.gov.in, check your allotted city and exam details, then wait for the admit card a few days later which will give the full centre address. Being proactive about these steps will smooth your exam day.
