JEE Main 2026: City slips out
Candidates can download their JEE Main 2026 Session 2 city intimation slip from the official portal at jeemain.nta.nic.in using their application number and password. The slip confirms the city — not the specific centre — where a candidate’s examination will be held, allowing them to plan travel and accommodation. Here is how students can download the city slip:
Step 1: Visit the official JEE Main portal at jeemain.nta.nic.in
Step 2: Click on the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 City Intimation Slip link
Step 3: Enter your application number and password
Step 4: Your city slip will appear on screen — download and save the PDF
It is important to note that the city slip is for reference only and is not a valid entry document at the examination centre. The official JEE Main hall ticket, which will be issued separately, must be carried to the venue on exam day.
