JEE Main City Intimation Slip Details

The city intimation slip is an advance information document that informs candidates of their exam city allocation.

It helps students plan travel, accommodation, and other logistics, especially if the exam centre is outside their hometown.

It is important to note that this slip is not the admit card and cannot be used to enter the exam hall. A valid JEE Main 2026 admit card will be required for entry.

Taking past trends into account, the JEE Main 2026 admit card is expected to be released three to four days before the exam. The admit card will include full details, such as exam centre address, date, shift timing, and reporting instructions.

Importance Of The City Intimation Slip

Many aspirants are allotted exam centres away from their preferred locations. Receiving city details in advance allows candidates and families to arrange travel and stay efficiently, avoiding last-minute hassles.

However, candidates must remember to download the admit card separately once released.

Candidates are advised to regularly check jeemain.nta.nic.in and nta.ac.in for official updates on the city intimation slip, admit card, and exam schedule.

As for the Session 1results, they are scheduled to be declared on February 12, 2026.

These scores will play a key role in admissions to undergraduate engineering and architecture programmes at participating institutes. Additionally, they will determine a candidate’s eligibility for JEE Advanced 2026.

For those appearing in multiple sessions, the highest score obtained will be used for merit ranking.
