The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to release the city intimation slips for JEE Main 2026 in the coming days, informing candidates about their allotted exam centers for the highly anticipated engineering entrance examination. This announcement will provide students with crucial information ahead of the exams, allowing them to make necessary travel and logistical arrangements.
The JEE Main city intimation slip, which will be available on the official NTA website, will include details such as the exam center city, reporting time, and other instructions. Candidates will need to log in using their application credentials to download the slip. NTA has advised students to verify their personal information carefully and report any discrepancies immediately through the official helpdesk.
This step is part of the agency’s ongoing preparations for the first session of JEE Main 2026, which is scheduled in multiple shifts across various cities in India. The city intimation slips do not include the exact exam hall or seating arrangement, which will be provided later in the JEE Main admit card, expected closer to the exam date.
With lakhs of students registering for engineering entrance exams this year, timely release of city details is essential to ensure smooth conduct of the examination. Education experts advise students to plan their travel and stay in advance, especially those appearing from cities other than their hometowns.
The NTA has also urged candidates to follow COVID-19 protocols, carry valid photo identification, and keep digital as well as printed copies of the slip once it is available. Any changes in exam city allocation due to unforeseen circumstances will be communicated by the agency in advance.
JEE Main, being the gateway to premier engineering institutes including the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), plays a critical role in shaping the career paths of aspiring engineers. Early city intimation helps reduce last-minute stress and ensures candidates can focus on final exam preparations.
Students are encouraged to regularly check the official JEE Main portal for updates and avoid relying on unofficial sources for information about exam centers.
