What is the difference between a city slip and an admit card?
Many students mistake the city intimation slip for the admit card, but there are significant differences between the two:
City slip: It only provides information about the exam city and date. This makes travel arrangements easier.
Admit card: It contains the name, address, shift timings, and important instructions of the JEE Main exam center. Without this, entry to the exam center will be prohibited.
Important Instructions for Students
To avoid any inconvenience at the exam center, the NTA has issued some guidelines:
Check the distance of the city allotted to you on your city slip, and if it is far away, ensure you book a bus or train now.
If you notice any discrepancies in your CT slip, immediately contact the NTA helpline number 011-40759000.
In the final stages of preparation, focus on mock tests and previous year question papers (PYQs).
The JEE Main 2026 exam is just a few days away. It's best to focus on revision rather than new reading.
