The Indian Air Force has released the Agniveer City Intimation Slip 2026 for candidates registered for Intake 01/2027. This release is a crucial step in the exam process, allowing candidates to prepare logistically for the upcoming examination.

Candidates can download their allocated examination city slip from the official website. The examination will take place on March 30th and 31st, 2026. The city slip contains essential information such as the candidate’s name, registration number, exam city, exam date, shift timings, reporting time, and gate closing time.

However, it’s important to note that the city slip will not be accepted as a legitimate document for entry into the examination hall. An admit card, which will be sent separately, is mandatory for entry to the examination center.

The admit card will be issued about four days prior to the exam date, providing candidates with ample time to prepare. To download the city slip, candidates must log in with their registered email ID, password, and captcha.

The city slip serves to provide advance information about the examination centers, allowing candidates to check their exam city and timing schedule well in advance. This preparation is vital as the selection process consists of three stages: Phase I (Computer Based Test), Phase II (Physical Fitness Test and adaptability tests), and Phase III (Medical Examination).

As the exam dates approach, candidates are urged to ensure they have all necessary documents ready. The release of the city intimation slip is expected to streamline the process and reduce last-minute confusion.

Observers note that this step is essential for maintaining organization and efficiency in the recruitment process. Candidates should remain vigilant for further updates regarding the admit card and other examination details.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any changes to the examination format or additional requirements. Candidates are advised to stay informed through official channels.
