The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the city intimation slip for the 2026 Group A, B and C Direct Recruitment Quota (DRQ) Tier‑II examination. The Tier‑II exam is going to be held on April 18, 19, 25 and 26, 2026. The slip is intended to help aspirants plan their travel and accommodation well ahead of time. This city intimation slip does not serve as an admit card; the full admit card with centre address, reporting time and roll number will be issued closer to the exam date. Candidates can download their city slip from the official CBSE portal by logging in with their registered credentials.
What the CBSE DRQ city intimation slip contains
The city intimation slip provides candidates with advance information about the exam city where their Tier‑II recruitment test will be conducted. It typically includes the candidate’s name, application/registration number, allotted city, exam date and session details — but does not include the exact exam centre address or roll number. Those crucial details will be available only on the admit card released later.

What candidates must know before the Tier‑II exam
Experts advise candidates to treat the city intimation slip purely as a logistics tool — useful for travel and accommodation planning, especially for those allocated cities distant from their residence. The actual admit card, which will state the precise exam venue, timings, roll number and guidelines, should be downloaded and printed before the exam date. CBSE has reiterated that the city slip alone is not valid for entry into the exam hall.The CBSE Tier‑II exam is a step in the recruitment process for various Group A, B and C posts under the DRQ‑2026 drive, and timely checking of updates on the official portal is recommended.
