What is the JEE Main City Intimation Slip?
The JEE Main City Intimation Slip for 2026 is a helpful document for candidates taking the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) exam. The JEE Main is a national-level test. It has exam centers in many cities across India. This slip helps students to know their exam city well in advance.
Knowing the exam city 10 to 12 days before the exam date is very useful. It allows students and their families enough time to plan their travel. They can arrange for transportation to the exam city and book accommodation if needed. This helps to reduce stress on the day of the exam.
It is important to understand that the City Intimation Slip is not the Admit Card. The Admit Card is a different document. The city slip will only show the name of the exam city and the specific date of the exam for each candidate. It will not have the exact address of the exam center. It will also not show the exact timing (shift) of the exam. The Admit Card, which comes later, will contain all these specific details.
