JEE Main 2026 Session 1: City Slip Released, Dates Revised

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has dropped a big update for engineering aspirants: JEE Main 2026 Session 1 city intimation slips are now live on jeemain.nta.nic.in since January 8, 2026.

This advance slip tells candidates their allotted exam city (and sometimes date/shift), helping plan travel, stay, and prep without last-minute stress. Note: It’s NOT the admit card—full hall ticket with centre address, shift, and rules comes later.

Along with the slip, NTA revised the exam schedule: Session 1 now runs January 21 to 29, 2026 (shortened by one day from original plan ending Jan 30).

Revised Exam Schedule Breakdown

• Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech): January 21, 22, 23, 24, and 28, 2026 (two shifts: 9 AM–12 PM & 3 PM–6 PM)
• Paper 2A (B.Arch), Paper 2B (B.Planning), or both: January 29, 2026 (single shift: 9 AM–12:30 PM)

Session 2 stays April 2–9, 2026. The tweak gives clearer planning—check your slip for your specific date!

Pro tip: Book trains/hotels early if outstation—admit card drops mid-Jan (likely 3-4 days before your exam date).
