Conducted entirely in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, this examination will be held on the scheduled dates across select cities in India as well as abroad.

City Intimation Slips Released for Students in Dubai and Kuwait

The NTA has uploaded the City Intimation Slips for students who have registered for examination centers in Dubai and Kuwait. Students in these regions can download their City Intimation Slips from the official website. Through this slip, students can ascertain in advance the specific city and center where their examination will be held, thereby facilitating them in making necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance.

Once this coordination process is complete, further information—including the issuance of City Intimation Slips—will be shared with the students. Until then, candidates are advised to keep a close watch on the official website for updates. If You Wish to Change Your Examination City
