JEE Main 2026: City Intimation Slip to Be Released in Early January — What Candidates Must Know

Synopsis: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will release the 2026 Session-1 “city intimation slip” for JEE Main in the first week of January 2026. The slip will inform applicants of the allotted exam city and exam date. The exact test-centre address and reporting time will follow later, with the official admit card.

The NTA is set to issue the 2026 Session-1 city intimation slip for JEE Main in the first week of January, as confirmed by the official notification. The document will reveal the specific city allocated for each candidate’s exam centre — not the full centre address.

To download the slip, candidates must:

Visit the official portal at jeemain.nta.nic.in.
Click on the “JEE Main 2026 Session 1 City Intimation Slip” link.
Login using their application number and password, and then download the PDF.

The city slip will also mention the exam date assigned to the candidate. However, the exact exam centre name, address and shift timing will only be available via the admit card — issued a few days before the exam.

Why It Matters

The slip helps candidates finalise travel and accommodation plans early, especially if their exam city differs from their hometown.
It also gives time to organise logistics well before the actual admit card release.

What Candidates Should Do After Downloading

Verify the allotted city and exam date.
Check distance from home and make transport or stay arrangements as needed.
Keep printed/digital copy of the slip for reference — though it’s not valid for exam entry.
Wait for the admit card to get a detailed centre address and timing.

With JEE Main 2026 on the horizon, the early release of the city intimation slip is a welcome step to help candidates — especially those travelling across states — manage preparations without last-minute hassle.
