City slip, call letter and CBAT documents
The schedule provides city/date information ten days before the final exam date and e-call letters about four days before the date shown. As of this review, these are future release rules, not a claim of an active download. A city slip does not replace the call letter.
For this 2025-cycle CBAT, the notice requires the same original photo identity document entered in the application and the original prescribed vision certificate under Annexure VI A of CEN 01/2025. Read the official identity and Aadhaar instructions before attendance. Do not substitute the newer cycle’s medical-annexure numbering.
Official reference: 1 October CBAT instructions.

Result and next stage
Chandigarh published its CBT II result and normalized cut-off for shortlisting to CBAT on 1 October 2026. The separate 1 October schedule sets CBAT tentatively for 30 October. This is CEN 01/2025 continuing into 2026; it is not the newer CEN 01/2026 CBT I.
