The National Testing Agency (NTA) is likely to release the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 city intimation slip soon on the official website.
Once available, candidates who registered for the April session will be able to check the city allotted for their examination centre.
The Joint Entrance Examination (Main) Session 2 is scheduled to be conducted from April 2 to April 9, 2026. Candidates will be able to download the city slip by logging in to the official portal using their application number and date of birth.
The city intimation slip is released in advance to give candidates enough time to make travel arrangements if their exam city is different from their place of residence.
What are the key dates for JEE Main 2026 Session 2
Candidates appearing for the April session should keep track of the following important dates:
- Application window: February 1 to February 25, 2026
- Application correction window: Late February 2026
- City intimation slip release: Expected in March 2026
- Admit card release: Likely in the last week of March
- Examination dates: April 2 to April 9, 2026
Only candidates who completed the application process successfully will be able to access the city slip and admit card.
Is the JEE Main city slip the same as the admit card
The JEE Main city intimation slip is different from the admit card. The slip only informs candidates about the exam city allotted to them.
Details such as the exact examination centre address, reporting time, and exam shift will be mentioned in the admit card. The admit cards are expected to be released a few days before the examination begins.
Therefore, candidates must download the admit card separately once it is made available.

Candidates can follow these steps once the city slip link is activated on the official website:

Why is JEE Main important for IIT admissions
The Joint Entrance Examination (Main) is conducted twice every year, usually in January and April. Candidates are allowed to appear in both sessions, and the best score is considered for ranking.
Students who qualify in JEE Main become eligible to appear for JEE Advanced, which is required for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other top engineering institutions in India.
