The National Testing Agency (NTA) has sent emails to some students taking the JEE Main 2026 exam. These emails are about revised, or changed, city intimation slips. This update has caused confusion among many other students who did not receive such an email.
Students who got an email are asked to download their new city slip from the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. However, the majority of candidates have not received this email. This makes them wonder if their exam city details have also changed. The NTA has not yet put out a public notice about re-issuing city slips for all students.
Why Did Some Students Get Revised Slips?
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has not given an official reason why these revised city intimation slips were sent to only some candidates. However, there can be several reasons for such changes. These usually happen when there are unforeseen issues related to the exam centers. Possible reasons include:
- Administrative Issues: Problems that come up with managing exam centers, like a venue becoming unavailable.
- Capacity Issues: If an exam center cannot hold the planned number of students.
- Technical Errors: Small mistakes or glitches in the earlier details shared.
In such situations, the NTA typically informs only those students whose exam city or center has been directly affected. If your details remain the same, you will likely not receive a new email.
What Should Students Who Received an Email Do?
If you have received an email from the NTA about a revised city intimation slip for JEE Main 2026, it is important to act quickly and follow the instructions. Here are the steps you should take:
- Check Your Email: Open the email sent by NTA carefully. It will guide you on how to get your updated slip.
- Visit Official Website: Go to the official JEE Main website: jeemain.nta.nic.in.
- Log In: Use your application number and password to log in to your candidate dashboard.
- Download Revised Slip: Look for the link to download your revised city intimation slip. Download it and keep a copy safely.
- Verify Details: Check all the information on the new slip, especially your updated exam city and center, to make sure it is correct.
What Should Students Who Did NOT Get an Email Do?
Many students who did not receive an email are feeling worried. It is very important not to panic. The NTA has indicated that these emails were sent only to specific candidates whose details needed a change. Not all students will get a revised slip.
Here is what you should do:
- Check Your Email Inbox: Look carefully in your main email inbox, and also check your spam or junk folder. Make sure the email, if any, is officially from the NTA.
- Check Your JEE Main Login: Go to the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. Log in to your account. Look for any new notifications or updates on your personal dashboard.
- Do Not Worry If No Update: If you check both your email and your login dashboard and find no new information, it means your original exam city details, as shown on your first city intimation slip, are still correct and unchanged.
- Wait for the Admit Card: The city intimation slip is only a preview of your exam city. The most important document is the JEE Main 2026 Admit Card. This admit card will have all the final and complete details, including your exact exam center address, the date of your exam, and your shift time.
Important Points to Remember
The JEE Main 2026 Admit Card will be released soon for all eligible candidates. This admit card is compulsory for you to enter the exam hall. Make sure to download it as soon as it is available.
Always trust and follow updates only from official sources. The NTA website, jeemain.nta.nic.in, is the most reliable place for all information. Do not believe in rumours or unofficial news. Keep checking your registered email ID and the official website regularly for the latest announcements.
