City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card What’s the Difference?
Many candidates confuse the two documents.
| Feature | City Intimation Slip | Admit Card (E-Call Letter) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Tells you the exam city and date for travel planning | Your entry document for the exam hall |
| Contains exact centre address? | No | Yes |
| Contains shift timing and reporting time? | Usually not | Yes |
| Valid for entry? | No | Yes |
The city slip is only for planning and is not an entry document. You need the admit card to enter the centre.
