How to Access Your SECL Exam City Information
The SECL CBT exam city intimation slip has not been released as a separate document yet. However, candidates can check their application status and prepare for future updates by logging into the official candidate portal:
- Visit the SECL candidate login portal.
- Enter your registered User ID (assigned during application).
- Enter your Password.
- Complete the captcha verification.
- Click Login to access your application dashboard.
- Once the city and admit card details are available, they will appear on your dashboard.
If you have forgotten your User ID or Password, click the “Forgot User ID/Password” option on the login page and verify using your registered email address or phone number.
SECL has indicated that exam city information will also be sent directly to your registered email address and mobile number via SMS. Keep these channels active and monitor them regularly rather than relying solely on the portal login. If you do not receive city information by early July, contact SECL’s recruitment helpdesk immediately.
What Is the Difference Between a City Intimation Slip and an Admit Card?
A city intimation slip is a preliminary notification informing candidates of their allotted exam city. It does not include the reporting time, exact venue address, or roll number.
An admit card (hall ticket) is the final document issued a few days before the exam. It contains complete exam-day details, including roll number, exact examination centre address, reporting time, candidate photograph, and exam instructions.
For SECL’s 2026 recruitment, the city slip process has not yet been formalised as a separate document release. Candidates should expect the admit card to be released shortly before 02/07/2026 with all necessary information included.

When you download your admit card, carefully check the following details immediately:
- Name spelling – Verify it matches exactly with your government-issued ID.
- Photograph – Check that it is the correct, recent photograph uploaded during registration.

- Exam date and time – Verify it matches the official exam date (02/07/2026) and confirm the session/shift allotted.
- Examination centre address – Locate the centre in advance on a map; do not rely on memory on exam day.

If any detail is incorrect, contact SECL’s recruitment cell immediately. Do not wait until exam day to report errors.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. When will the SECL CBT Exam City Intimation Slip 2026 be released?
Ans. As of now, SECL has not released a separately dated city intimation slip. City information will be communicated through the official candidate portal, registered email, and SMS. Monitor all three channels closely from early July onwards. The admit card, which includes city and venue details, is expected a few days before 02/07/2026.
Q2. I have not received any SMS or email about my exam city. What should I do?
Ans. First, log into the SECL candidate portal using your User ID and Password to check if city information is available there. Verify that your registered email address and mobile number are correct and active. If information is still missing a few days before the exam, contact SECL’s recruitment helpdesk or visit the official website for updates. Do not wait until exam day to clarify this.
Q3. I applied for my preferred city, but the portal shows a different exam centre. Can I request a change?
Ans. No, SECL has stated that there is no provision to request a city change once allotted. Due to the high volume of applications for the Assistant Foreman (Electrical) post, some candidates have been allotted centres outside their preferred city for administrative reasons. Accept your allotted city and plan your travel accordingly.
Q4. I forgot my User ID or Password. How do I log into the SECL portal?
Ans. On the SECL candidate login page, click “Forgot User ID/Password.” You will be asked to verify your identity using your registered email address or phone number. Once verified, your credentials will be sent to you. If you are unable to recover your credentials, contact SECL’s support team directly.
Q5. What is included in the admit card that is not in the city intimation slip?
Ans. The city slip only confirms your exam city. The admit card includes roll number, exact examination centre address and code, reporting time, candidate photograph, exam date and time, and exam-day instructions. You must carry the printed admit card to the exam centre along with a valid photo ID.
Q6. What if my name is spelled incorrectly on the admit card when I download it?
Ans. Contact SECL’s recruitment cell immediately with proof of your correct name (government-issued ID). Corrections are usually made within 24 hours if you report the error well before the exam. Do not attempt to correct it on your own. Providing false information or carrying a corrected document without official permission can lead to disqualification.
Q7. Can I take a photograph or scan of my admit card instead of printing it?
Ans. No, the admit card must be printed on paper. A digital copy on your phone is not acceptable. Print the admit card well before exam day, as portal traffic increases significantly close to the exam date. Keep the printed copy safe and bring it to the exam centre.
Q8. When will the result of the SECL CBT 2026 be declared?
Ans. The official notification does not specify a result declaration date. Results are typically declared 2-4 weeks after the exam. Once declared, results will be available on the official SECL website and communicated via registered email and SMS. Stay updated with MyNaukriAlert.com for the result announcement.
