Overview
- As of December 31, the National Testing Agency has not issued city intimation slips, which reports expect in the first week of January or roughly ten days before the exams.
- City slips will be available only on jeemain.nta.nic.in and can be downloaded using the candidate’s application number and date of birth.
- Session 1 of JEE Main 2026 is scheduled from January 21 to 31 across multiple centres in India and abroad.
- The city slip confirms only the allotted city, while the admit card will later provide the exact centre address, date and time, with release timelines reported between three and seven days before the exams.
- Candidates could choose up to four cities; NTA says it will try to honor preferences but may merge or change cities for logistical reasons, with efforts to accommodate PwD candidates and address-based allotment for foreign applicants.
