New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 City Intimation Slip today, January 8, 2026. This slip is now available for all students who registered for the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) January session. Students can download it from the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.
The city intimation slip helps students know their exam city and date well in advance. This allows them to make travel plans and arrange accommodation if their exam city is far from their home. It is important to remember that this slip is not the admit card. Students will still need to download their official admit card closer to the exam date to enter the examination hall. The admit card will have the full exam centre address and exact shift timings.
Candidates can get their city slip using their application number and password. The NTA aims to conduct the JEE Main Session 1 exams smoothly, and releasing this slip early is a step to ensure students are prepared. The exams for Session 1 are scheduled to take place from January 21 to January 30, 2026.
