A new update is expected soon for students preparing for JEE Main 2026 (Session 1). The National Testing Agency (NTA) will shortly make available the city intimation slip on its official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. This slip helps candidates know which city has been allotted for their exam centre.
The JEE Main January session exam is scheduled to begin from 21 January 2026.
What Is the JEE Main City Intimation Slip?
The city intimation slip is an advance information document. It tells candidates only the exam city, not the exact centre address. This early update allows students to plan travel and accommodation in advance.
The full exam centre details will be mentioned later on the admit card.
