Share

Overview

Key Highlights

  • Exam Event: Advance Intimation for Allotment of Examination City.
  • Exam Name: Joint Entrance Examination (Main) – 2026 Session 1.
  • Notification Date: 08 January 2026.
  • Purpose: To help students plan logistics well in advance.
  • Important Note: This is NOT the final Admit Card.

Understanding the Advance City Intimation

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the Advance Intimation for Allotment of Examination City to the Applicants of Joint Entrance Examination (Main) – 2026 Session 1. This is a crucial step for aspirants to organize their travel and accommodation arrangements well ahead of the actual exam dates.

By providing this information early, the NTA ensures that candidates, especially those traveling from remote areas, can manage their schedules efficiently. It is important to emphasize that this intimation slip is strictly for the purpose of planning and does not serve as your entry pass to the examination hall.

Why This Exam Matters for Your Career

JEE Main is the gateway to India’s premier technical institutions, including NITs, IIITs, and Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). Scoring well in Session 1 provides a significant psychological advantage, allowing you to gauge your preparation level against lakhs of other students across the country.

Securing a high percentile in Session 1 can reduce the pressure for the second session, allowing you to focus on board exams or other competitive entrance tests. Your journey toward becoming a successful engineer begins with the discipline and planning you demonstrate today.

  • Verify Your Details: Ensure that your name, category, and subject details mentioned in the intimation slip match your original records. If you notice any discrepancy, contact the NTA helpdesk immediately via 011-40759000 or email.
  • Keep Credentials Secure: Do not share your application number or password with unauthorized third parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the City Intimation Slip the same as the Admit Card?

No, it is not. The City Intimation Slip is an advance notice for travel planning, whereas the Admit Card is the mandatory document required to enter the examination centre on the day of the exam.

What should I do if I find a discrepancy in my slip?

If you notice any incorrect information, you should immediately contact the NTA helpdesk via phone at 011-40759000 or send an email to jeemain@nta.ac.in for a swift resolution.

Can I request a change of exam city after getting the intimation?

Usually, the exam cities are allotted based on the preferences submitted during the application process. NTA does not typically entertain requests for changes after the intimation has been released.

When will the final Admit Card be released?

The NTA has mentioned that the final Admit Card will be released at a later date. Keep checking the official NTA website (www.nta.ac.in) for further announcements.
