JEE Main 2026 Session 2 City Intimation Slip Release Imminent
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is poised to release the crucial city intimation slip for the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026 Session 2 in the coming days. This significant document will enable candidates to ascertain the city where their examination center will be located for the April session of this premier engineering entrance test.
Examination Schedule and City Slip Timeline
The April session of JEE Main 2026 is scheduled to be conducted from April 2 to April 9, 2026. The city intimation slip is expected to be made available in March 2026, serving as an important precursor to the official admit card. Once released, candidates will be able to download their city slip by logging into the official JEE Main portal using their application number and date of birth.
It is essential to understand that the city slip is distinct from the admit card. While the city slip informs candidates about their allotted examination city, the exact examination center address, reporting time, and shift details will be specified exclusively in the admit card, which is anticipated to be released in the final week of March 2026.
Purpose and Importance of the City Intimation Slip
The city intimation slip is issued well in advance of the admit card to assist candidates in planning their travel arrangements, particularly if their assigned examination city differs from their place of residence. This advance notification helps minimize last-minute logistical challenges and allows for better preparation.
The slip typically contains the following essential details:
- Candidate's full name
- Application number
- Paper applied for (BTech, BArch, or BPlan)
- Allotted examination city
- Medium of the question paper

JEE Main's Role in Engineering Admissions
The Joint Entrance Examination (Main) is conducted twice annually—in January and April sessions—by the National Testing Agency. Candidates have the opportunity to appear in both sessions, with their best score being considered for final ranking purposes.
Qualifying candidates become eligible to appear for the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced), which serves as the gateway for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other premier engineering institutions across the country.
All candidates are strongly advised to regularly monitor the official JEE Main website for the latest updates regarding the release of the city intimation slip and admit card, as these documents are critical for examination participation.
