What’s out now: city intimation slip and schedule
NTA has posted the Advance City Intimation for JEE (Main) 2026 Session 1 on the official portal. The city slip tells candidates the city where their test center will be located; it is not the admit card and does not show the center address or shift. The updated Session 1 schedule runs in late January (specific session dates released by NTA).

When exactly will the admit card be released?
NTA’s information bulletin and recent official notices indicate the admit card link is activated only a few days before the exam date for each candidate. Based on the posted schedule, the admit card for most Session 1 candidates is expected roughly 3–4 days before their exam shift. News outlets and education portals reporting on NTA’s announcements are echoing the same timeline. Candidates should use their application number and password (or DOB) to log in when the admit card becomes available.
What to check on the admit card (do not ignore)
When the admit card downloads, check these fields carefully and highlight them in your blog so readers know what to verify:
- Full name and parent’s name (spelling mistakes are common).
- Application/registration number and roll number (if assigned).
- Photograph and signature (they must match the identity document).
- Exam date, shift and reporting time (very important).
- Full exam center address and any entry instructions (entry gates, items allowed).
- PwD / scribe details, if applicable.
- Important instructions such as items prohibited and COVID-related guidelines (if any).
If anything is incorrect, instruct readers to contact the NTA Helpdesk immediately and retain screenshots/logs of communications.
(Official notices advise candidates to correct mismatches before the exam; NTA lists contact details on the portal.)
Documents to carry on exam day
Candidates must carry:
- Printed JEE Main 2026 Admit Card (original printout).
- Original photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driver’s license, voter ID — whichever was used in the application). The name and photo on the ID must match the admit card.
- One recent passport-size photograph (same as uploaded, for verification/attendance sheet).
- Any other item specified on the admit card (e.g., scribe ID, PwD certificate).
- Simple transparent water bottle and hand sanitizer (check NTA instructions; items can be restricted).
- Do not carry electronic gadgets: phones, calculators, smartwatches, earphones, etc., are strictly prohibited.
If you face any problem in downloading the Admit Card?
Sometimes, candidates face technical or login issues while downloading the admit card.
- Forgot application number? Use the “Forgot application number” link on the login page.
- Forgot password? Reset from your registered mobile number/email.
- No match in details? Immediately email NTA at jeemain@nta.ac.in or call NTA helpline.
- Not downloading? Try again in a different browser or at a less busy time.
If you can’t download the admit card: troubleshooting
Common issues and fixes to include in your post:
- Forgot password / login failure: Use the “Forgot Password” workflow: answer your security question, get the OTP on your registered mobile/email, and reset your password.
- Slow site / portal busy: Try at off-peak hours, use a stable internet connection, or attempt via another browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended). Clear the cache if needed.
- Mismatch in details / wrong photograph: Contact NTA via email/helpline immediately. Keep a screenshot of the incorrect detail and your application confirmation page. The NTA site lists helpdesk contacts.
- No admit card link visible though city slip was downloaded: City slip is pre-admission information only; the admit card link is activated later, generally 3–4 days before the exam — check back then.
