JEE Main 2026 Session 2 city: What the city slip tells you, and what it doesn’t

The city intimation slip works like an early heads-up. It informs candidates about the city where their exam centre will be located. However, students should not confuse this with the admit card. The hall ticket, which carries full exam details like centre address and timing, will come separately closer to the exam date.

As per the official update, the exam will be conducted across multiple centres in India and also in 15 cities abroad.
