What is an Exam City Slip?
The exam city slip is a document released by the SSC to inform candidates about the city where their examination will be conducted. It is not the final admit card. The main purpose of this slip is to help students know their exam location early so they can arrange for travel and accommodation if their exam city is far from their home. It generally does not contain the exact exam centre name, address, or reporting time. These specific details are provided later in the official admit card.
