CTET 2026 Exam City Intimation Slip: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the city intimation slip for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) February 2026 session. Candidates who have applied for the exam can now check their allotted exam city and date by downloading the slip from the official CTET website ctet.nic.in.
This release comes as a crucial step ahead of the CTET 2026 exam, which is scheduled to be held on February 7 and 8, 2026, in offline pen-and-paper mode. The city intimation slip, often referred to as the pre-admit card, is meant to help nearly 25 lakh registered candidates plan their travel and accommodation in advance.
Why the City Intimation Slip Matters
The CTET city intimation slip provides candidates with advance information about the city and state where they will appear for the exam. This allows outstation candidates to make necessary arrangements for stay and commute well before the final admit card is released.
It is important to note that the city slip does not contain the exact exam centre address that will be available only in the final admit card, expected to be issued on February 5, 2026. Without the final admit card, candidates will not be permitted to enter the examination hall.
