More about JEE Main exams 2026

Candidates can make travel and lodging arrangements in advance by using the city intimation slip, which will provide them with information about the city of the examination center they have been assigned. It will not function as the admit card, though. Three to four days before the start of the exam, the JEE Main 2026 admit cards are anticipated to be distributed.

 

The results for the January session of JEE Main 2026 will be announced on February 12, according to NTA. Candidates were permitted to choose up to four preferred exam cities within the states that corresponded to their current and permanent addresses during the JEE Main application process.

 

According to NTA, it will do all in its power to assign exam cities according to candidates' choices. However, candidates may be assigned a city that differs from their preferences due to administrative or logistical constraints. 

JEE Main City Intimation Slip 2026: What if JEE Main session 1 exam missed?

For admission to NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and JEE Advanced eligibility, the results from either attempt or the best of the two will be taken into account.
