The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) will soon release the City Intimation Slip for the Group D 2025 exam. This slip tells candidates their exam city, helping them plan travel early. While the exact date for the slip and new exam schedule is not yet out, it is expected very soon. The exams were delayed because of a court case, which has now been settled.
More than 10 million students applied for a total of 32,438 job positions in RRB Group D. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) recently decided in favor of the Railways, clearing the way for the recruitment process to move forward. This decision ends the uncertainty that had stopped the exams.
What is the City Intimation Slip?
The City Intimation Slip is an important document for candidates. It shows which city a candidate will take their exam in. This helps students make their travel arrangements, like booking tickets or accommodation, well in advance. Usually, this slip is released about 10 days before the exam date . After the City Intimation Slip, the official admit card for the exam will be released, which candidates must carry to the exam hall.
Why Were the Exams Delayed?
The RRB Group D exams were put on hold due to a court case. A petition was filed to challenge the eligibility rules for the recruitment. The main argument was about who could apply for these jobs. Initially, a short notice released on December 28, 2024 , said that only candidates with an ITI (Industrial Training Institute) qualification were eligible.
However, the eligibility rules were later changed on January 2, 2025 . This new rule allowed candidates who had passed Class 10th along with ITI holders to apply. The petitioner argued that changing the rules so quickly was not fair. The court case created confusion and delayed the whole recruitment process. Now, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has supported the Railways' decision on eligibility, meaning both Class 10th pass candidates and ITI holders can appear for the exam.
