JEE Main 2027 City Intimation Slip Timeline
The JEE Main 2027 Session 1 city intimation slip is expected to release around January 8–14, 2027 — approximately 12–15 days before the exam starts. This document tells students their assigned exam city and shift number. The specific exam centre address is only revealed on the admit card.
- Download the city intimation slip on jeemain.nta.ac.in using your application number and date of birth.
- The slip shows only the exam city and shift — the full centre address appears on the admit card.
- The city intimation slip is not an entry document — you cannot use it to enter the exam hall.
- Students assigned a far-off city can use the slip to book travel and accommodation in advance.
