JEE Main 2026: City slips out
Candidates can use their application number and password to get their JEE Main 2026 Session 2 city notification slip from the official website at jeemain.nta.nic.in. The slip enables candidates to arrange travel and lodging by confirming the city, not the precise location, where their exam will take place. Students can download the city slip by following these steps:
- Step 1: Go to jeemain.nta.nic.in, the official JEE Main portal.
- Step 2: Select the link for the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 City Intimation Slip.
- Step 3: Input your password and application number.
- Step 4: Download and save the PDF of your city slip when it appears on the screen.
It is crucial to remember that the city slip is not a legitimate entry document for the examination center and is simply for reference. On exam day, the official JEE Main hall ticket—which will be provided separately—must be brought to the location.
The candidate’s name, birthdate, exam date and time, designated center address, and exam-day instructions will all be on the admit card. The date of the hall ticket’s release has not yet been disclosed by NTA, but it is anticipated soon. One of the more extensive abroad testing deployments for a domestic admission exam is the session 2 exam, which will take place in several Indian cities as well as fifteen foreign countries.
