Heads up, future engineers and architects! The National Testing Agency (NTA) has just announced a major update for the upcoming JEE Main 2026 Session 2 exams, altering the schedule and releasing a crucial document for all candidates.
- Revised Exam Dates: A new schedule has been confirmed for the April session.
- City Slips Live: You can now download your advance city intimation slip to plan your travel.
- Admit Card Next: The official hall ticket is expected to be released shortly after the city slip.
The NTA has officially revised the dates for the second session of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026. This last-minute change affects thousands of students across the country, making it essential to check the new schedule immediately. Alongside this announcement, the much-awaited advance intimation slip, which informs you of your examination city, has also been made available for download. This allows you to make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance.
JEE Main 2026: The New Exam Schedule
Mark your calendars with the updated dates. The examinations for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech) are now scheduled to take place on April 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8, 2026. For those appearing for Paper 2A (B.Arch) and Paper 2B (B.Planning), the exam will be conducted on a single day, April 7, 2026. All exams will be held in two shifts across various centers in India and 15 cities abroad, as per the NTA’s notification.
How to Access Your Exam City Slip
Downloading your city intimation slip is a straightforward process. Simply visit the official JEE Main website and log in using your application number and password or date of birth. This document will clearly state the city allocated to you for the exam. If you encounter any issues while downloading the slip, you can contact the NTA helpdesk at 011-40759000 or email them at jeemain@nta.ac.in for assistance.
City Slip vs. Admit Card: Know the Difference
It’s crucial to understand that the city intimation slip is not your admit card. The slip is an advance notification for planning purposes only and will not grant you entry into the examination hall. The official JEE Main 2026 Admit Card, containing the exact exam center address, date, shift timing, and important instructions, will be released separately in the coming days. At StudyHub, we urge all aspirants to download their city slip now and keep a close watch for the admit card release.
