JEE Mains 2026 Exam City Slip: With the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 1 scheduled to commence on January 21, 2026, aspirants are anxiously awaiting the release of the Exam City Intimation Slip.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the city slip in the first week of January 2026. This document is crucial as it allows candidates to plan their travel to the allotted exam city well in advance of the actual exam date.
Unlike the Admit Card, this slip will not contain the exact exam center address but will confirm the City and the Date of Examination.

City Slip vs. Admit Card: What is the Difference?
Many first-time aspirants confuse the City Slip with the Admit Card. It is important to know the difference:
-
City Intimation Slip: Released ~2 weeks before the exam. It only tells you the City and Exam Date so you can book trains/hotels. You cannot use this to enter the exam hall.
-
Admit Card: Released ~3 days before the exam. It contains the Exam Center Name, Address, Shift Timing, and Roll Number. This is mandatory for entry.
Important Instructions
-
No Changes Allowed: The city allotted in the slip is generally final. NTA rarely entertains requests to change the exam city after allotment.
