In a timely update for aspirants navigating the competitive landscape of government job exams, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the City Intimation Slip for the SSC CGL 2025 Re-Exam. This comes as welcome relief for thousands of candidates whose Tier-1 exams, originally held between September 12 and 26, 2025, were disrupted due to technical glitches and other issues at select centers. With numerous feedback submissions highlighting these problems, SSC’s swift action underscores their commitment to a fair process.
Why the Re-Exam?
The SSC CGL 2025 Tier-1 exam saw massive participation—around 13.5 lakh candidates appeared across 255 centers in 126 cities over 45 shifts. Unfortunately, technical hiccups affected a subset of examinees, prompting SSC to reschedule their sessions. Shortlisted candidates have been notified via SMS and email, ensuring no one misses out on their opportunity. The re-exam is set for October 14, 2025, giving affected folks just under two weeks to prepare and plan.
Key Dates at a Glance
- City Intimation Slip Release: October 5, 2025 (that’s today!)
- Admit Card Download: Starting October 9, 2025
- Re-Exam Date: October 14, 2025
- Provisional Answer Key: October 15, 2025 (with objection window)
These timelines are designed to minimize last-minute stress, allowing you to focus on revision rather than logistics.
How to Download Your City Intimation Slip
Downloading the slip is straightforward—head over to the official SSC website (ssc.gov.in) and follow these steps:
- Visit the Site: Go to www.ssc.gov.in and click on the “Login” button on the homepage.
- Enter Credentials: Use your Registration Number and Password to log in.
- Select the Link: Look for the “SSC CGL 2025 Re-Exam City Intimation Slip” option under the relevant exam section.
- Download and Print: Verify your details (exam city, date, and shift), then download the PDF. Keep a printed copy handy.
Pro Tip: The city slip only reveals your exam location—full venue details will appear on your admit card. If you haven’t received an SMS/email confirmation, double-check your eligibility by logging in; only officially rescheduled candidates will see the link.
A Silver Lining for SSC Aspirants
While disruptions are never ideal, SSC’s proactive response—releasing slips right on schedule—shows they’re listening to candidate concerns. Use this time to brush up on weak areas, practice mocks, and arrange travel early. Remember, the road to a Group B or C post in ministries like Income Tax or CBI is paved with persistence.
