City slip vs admit card
The city slip (exam city intimation) comes first, about a week to 10 days before the exam. It tells you the city and date so you can plan travel. It does not get you into the hall.
The admit card comes 2 to 3 days before your own exam date. It has the centre address, shift and reporting time, and you must carry it.
How to download the admit card
1. Go to ssc.gov.in and log in with your registration number and password.
2. Open the admit card link for your exam. The city slip and the admit card are separate links.
3. Check your name, date of birth, photo, centre address, shift and reporting time.
4. Print it on A4 paper. You need the paper copy at the gate; a phone screen is not accepted.
What to carry on exam day
