The city intimation slip shows your allotted exam city and your exact exam date (17 or 18 November), so you can finalise travel and stay in advance. It is strictly for advance planning and cannot be used as an entry pass to the examination centre — the formal e-admit card, released 2 to 3 days before the test, is the document you must carry.
Navik (General Duty) requires 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics. Yantrik requires Class 10 plus a Diploma in the relevant engineering discipline (Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics or Telecommunication). Navik (Domestic Branch) requires Class 10 pass, and Hygienist-I requires Class 10 or an ITI certificate. Trade-wise eligibility details are given in the official notification.
