Railway job aspirants can now plan their travel: the Railway Recruitment Boards have released the RRB Paramedical Exam City Slip 2026 for the computer based test under CEN 05/2026. The slip went live on 13-11-2026 for candidates whose exam falls on 23-11-2026, and candidates with the 25-11-2026 exam get theirs on 15-11-2026. The CBT covers 590 paramedical posts, with Nursing Superintendent (365) and Pharmacist (118) accounting for most of them. Remember, the city slip is not your admit card — it only tells you the city, date and shift. The e-call letter arrives separately, about four days before your exam.
