South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL) has confirmed the Computer Based Test (CBT) for Mining Sirdar, Dy. Surveyor, and Assistant Foreman (Electrical) posts will be held on 2nd July 2026. This article covers confirmed details about the exam city process, login steps, and what to expect regarding admit card updates.
While SECL has not yet issued a separately dated City Intimation Slip as of this update, candidates can access their application portal for future city and admit card updates.
A city intimation slip is a preliminary document issued by recruiting bodies to inform candidates of their allotted exam city ahead of the final admit card. It typically does not include the exact venue address, reporting time, or roll number.
The purpose is to give candidates extra lead time to plan travel and accommodation. For SECL's 2026 recruitment cycle, the official exam date notice (released 19th June 2026) confirmed that exam city information will be shared through the SECL candidate portal, SMS, and registered email, but it did not specify a separate release date for a standalone city slip.
