The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the crucial JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Exam City Intimation Slip. All registered candidates can now check and download their allotted examination city online at the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.
This release marks an important preparatory step for the upcoming Joint Entrance Examination (Main) for B.E./B.Tech programs, which is scheduled to be held from January 21 to January 30, 2026.
The JEE Main City Intimation Slip is not the admit card. It is an advance notification that informs candidates of the city or town where their examination centre will be located. This allows aspirants ample time to plan their travel and accommodation logistics well before the actual exam dates.
The official admit card, containing the exact venue address, seat number, and detailed instructions, will be released separately by the NTA typically 4-5 days prior to the candidate’s specific exam date. However, the exact date and time is not announced yet.
