The Indian Coast Guard has released the ICG CGEPT Exam City Slip 2026 for the Coast Guard Enrolled Personnel Test (CGEPT) for Batches 01/2027 and 02/2027. The exam city intimation slip was released on 6 November 2026, and candidates can now check the city of their examination centre through the candidate login portal. The Stage-I Computer Based Test (CBT) will be held on 17 and 18 November 2026 for 365 Navik and Yantrik posts. Candidates should check their exam city immediately so that they can plan their travel and reach the centre on time.
The exam city slip is not the admit card. It only tells the candidate the city in which the examination centre is located, so that travel and stay can be arranged in advance. The e-admit card, which carries the exact examination centre, the reporting time and the shift, will be released separately, 48 to 72 hours before the examination. Candidates should therefore check the city slip now and download the e-admit card as soon as it is released.

Age Limit
The age limit for the Navik and Yantrik posts is prescribed in the official CGEPT notification. The notification states the minimum and maximum age for each post, the date with reference to which age is calculated, and the age relaxation available to reserved categories as per the rules. Candidates should verify their eligibility against the notification, because the age conditions in the notification are final.
Salary / Pay Scale
The pay scale for the Navik and Yantrik posts is prescribed in the official CGEPT notification. The notification states the pay level and the pay scale applicable to each post, along with the allowances admissible to Indian Coast Guard personnel.

Eligibility Criteria
Only candidates who applied successfully for the CGEPT Batches 01/2027 and 02/2027 can check the exam city slip. The eligibility conditions for the Navik and Yantrik posts — educational qualification, age limit and any other requirements — are prescribed in the official notification, and candidates must satisfy those conditions as on the dates given in the notification. The exam city slip is issued to candidates whose applications were accepted; it does not by itself confirm final eligibility, which is verified by the authorities at the later stages of the selection process. Candidates should read the notification carefully and keep their educational certificates and other documents ready.
Selection Process
- Stage-I — Computer Based Test (CBT) on 17 and 18 November 2026.
- Stage-II — further tests as prescribed in the official notification, for candidates who qualify in Stage-I.
- Stage-III and subsequent stages, including document verification and medical examination, as prescribed in the official notification.
- Final merit list and appointment, subject to verification of eligibility and other conditions in the notification.
The Stage-I CBT is the first stage of the CGEPT selection process. Candidates who qualify in Stage-I will be called for the later stages, and separate notices will be published for each stage. Candidates should follow only the official notices published on joinindiancoastguard.cdac.in and ssc.gov.in.
