JEE Main 2026 Session 2: City Intimation Slip Released for Kuwait and Dubai Candidates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the exam city intimation slips for candidates registered for JEE Main 2026 Session 2 in Kuwait and Dubai. This development allows aspirants in these international locations to check their allocated examination city through the official portal.
Release Timeline and International Coverage
While the agency had earlier issued city intimation slips for most candidates on March 21, 2026, the recent release specifically addresses those appearing from Kuwait and Dubai. Meanwhile, NTA is actively coordinating with the Indian Embassy for candidates registered from Bahrain, and an update regarding their exam city allocation is expected shortly.
It is important to understand that the city intimation slip serves a distinct purpose—it only indicates the city where the examination centre is located. This document is not the same as the hall ticket. The actual admit card will be issued separately, and candidates will need to download it from the official website ahead of the examination.
Examination Schedule and Format
According to the examination authority, JEE Main 2026 Session 2 will be conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode. The schedule is as follows:
- Paper 1 (BE/BTech): April 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8, 2026
- Paper 2A (BArch) and Paper 2B (BPlanning): April 7, 2026
The examination will take place across multiple cities within India as well as at 15 international centres, ensuring that candidates have the flexibility to appear from a location convenient to them.
How to Access the City Intimation Slip
Candidates can follow these straightforward steps to view and download their city intimation slip:
- Visit the official NTA website dedicated to JEE Main.
- Locate and click on the link labelled “City Slip/Exam City Intimation.”
- Log in using your application or registration number along with your date of birth.
- Once logged in, your allocated exam city will be displayed on the screen.
- Download the slip in PDF format and keep a printed copy for future reference.
Important Considerations for Candidates
Candidates should note that the city slip merely provides preliminary information about the examination location. The final admit card, which will include the precise address of the test centre, will be released separately. It is advisable to regularly monitor the official website for updates regarding the admit card and any other examination-related announcements.
In case of any discrepancies in the city allocation or if assistance is needed regarding the examination, candidates can reach out to the NTA support team via phone or email. The helpline is available to address queries related to city changes and other administrative matters.
As the examination dates draw nearer, candidates are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and avoid relying on unverified sources for critical information. Keeping track of announcements will ensure that no important updates are missed in the lead-up to the examination.
