CBSE has issued the city intimation notice for the Direct Recruitment Quota Examination 2026 (DRQ2026) Tier-II. According to the official public notice dated 7 April 2026, candidates can download the advance information for allotment of city of examination from 8 April 2026 onwards through the online application portal. This update is for candidates appearing in CBSE DRQ2026 Tier-II after the Tier-I result declared on 2 March 2026.
Candidates should note one important distinction at the start. The city intimation slip is not the admit card. The official notice clearly says it only informs candidates about the allotted city of examination to help with advance travel and accommodation planning. The admit card, which will carry the exact examination centre, date, and time, is to be issued separately.
Another practical point is that the phrase shift details is not used in the city-slip notice itself. The session timings come from CBSE's separate Tier-II examination schedule notice dated 6 March 2026. So candidates should use the city slip for exam-city planning and the Tier-II exam notice for session-wise timing guidance until the admit card is issued.
CBSE Tier 2 City Intimation Slip 2026 release
CBSE released the public notice for DRQ2026 Tier-II city intimation on 7 April 2026. The notice states that candidates appearing for the CBSE Direct Recruitment Quota Examination 2026 Tier-II can access the advance information for allotment of city of examination from 8 April 2026 onwards.
This release follows the Tier-I result notice dated 2 March 2026 and applies to candidates moving to the Tier-II stage of the recruitment process.
What the city intimation slip is for
The city intimation slip is meant to inform candidates about the city allotted for their Tier-II examination. CBSE says this is provided to help candidates make advance travel and accommodation arrangements.
The slip is not a permission document for entry into the exam hall. It is an advance information document only.
What the city intimation slip is not
The official public notice clearly states that the city intimation slip is not the admit card. Candidates should not treat it as a substitute for the hall ticket.
CBSE has separately stated that the admit card will contain the exact examination centre, date, and time. That means the city slip helps with planning, while the admit card remains the mandatory document for the actual examination.

Posts covered under DRQ2026 Tier-II
The official Tier-II schedule covers multiple CBSE recruitment posts under DRQ2026. These include Assistant Secretary, Accounts Officer, Superintendent, Junior Translation Officer, Junior Assistant, Junior Accountant, and the common Tier-II examination for Assistant Professor and Assistant Director posts in Academics, Training, and Skill Education.
For post codes 02/25 to 04/25, CBSE has specifically stated that the level and syllabus for Tier-II are the same, so a single common Tier-II examination is being conducted for those posts.
Details candidates should expect on the city slip
The city slip is intended to show the allotted examination city through the online portal. It is meant to help candidates plan logistics in advance.
Candidates should not expect the city slip to replace the full admit card. Exact centre details and candidate-specific exam timing confirmation are reserved for the admit card stage.
