The National Testing Agency (NTA) will soon release the City Intimation Slip for the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) 2026. This slip will inform students about the city where their exam centre will be located. The CMAT 2026 exam is scheduled for January 25, 2026 . Students who have applied for the exam must download this slip to check their allotted exam city.
The CMAT City Intimation Slip is a preliminary document. It is not the Admit Card. The Admit Card is the final document that provides the exact address of the exam centre, the date, and the specific time of the exam. The City Intimation Slip is shared earlier to help candidates prepare for their travel and stay arrangements.
NTA plans to release the CMAT 2026 city intimation slip in the coming days. Following its release, the Admit Card (hall ticket) for CMAT 2026 will be available within 2 to 3 days . This means the Admit Card can be expected around January 20, 2026 , well before the exam date.
How Your Exam City is Decided
When students fill out the CMAT application form, they provide a list of preferred cities for their exam centre. NTA aims to allot an exam centre in the student's first preferred city . This is usually the city mentioned as the top choice in the application.
However, the allotment of exam centres works on a "first-come, first-served" basis. If all seats in the centres of a student's first preferred city are already full, NTA will then allot a centre in the student's second preferred city . Students must check their City Intimation Slip carefully to confirm their allotted exam city.
