The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued the city intimation slip for JEE Main 2025 Session 2, giving important information to candidates before the engineering entrance test. The intimation slip, available from March 20, enables registered candidates to verify their respective exam city. It can be viewed using the application number and password on the official JEE Main website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.

JEE Main is a very important entrance exam for engineering students in India, and it is a key to the top institutions such as the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other centrally funded technical institutes. It is also a qualifying examination for JEE Advanced, which decides admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). As important as it is, candidates eagerly look forward to news about the examination process, such as city allotment and admit card issuance.

The city intimation slip tells candidates where their exam center is located so that they can make travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance. This allotment is done according to the choices filled by candidates at the time of application when they had to choose four desired exam cities. Though the NTA tries to assign cities as per these preferences, logistical factors at times compel it to make changes. In case fewer students have chosen a specific city, the agency may consolidate centers and place students at locations close by. But the last minute information about the exam center, including the address and reporting time, will be given only on the JEE Main admit card.

In order to download the city intimation slip, the candidates must go to the official website of JEE Main and click on the specific link for Session 2 city allotment. Entering the application number, password, and captcha code, they can download the slip for future use. The slip is required for the candidates to get acquainted with the exam city allotted to them, although it is not an admit card.

The JEE Main 2025 Session 2 test is going to be held on various dates from April 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9. The test is going to be held in two shifts: the first shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon and the second shift from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The examination will be conducted for Paper 1, for which it is intended for aspirants for B.E./B.Tech, and for Paper 2, for students aspiring to take up B.Arch and B.Planning programmes.

Although the city intimation slip is an initial notice, the admit card proper that will be required to get entry into the examination hall will be made available three days prior to the examination date. This implies that the admit cards for candidates who have been scheduled to appear on April 2 will be downloadable from March 29 onwards. The admit card will contain crucial information such as the precise exam center, reporting time, shift information, and other crucial instructions that need to be followed by candidates on exam day.

It is imperative that candidates regularly visit the official website for notifications and make sure that they download both city intimation slip as well as admit card the moment they are made available. Failing to produce these may result in unwarranted last-minute hassles. Candidates also need to check the particulars printed on their admit card and bring this to the notice of NTA at the earliest in case of any discrepancies.

As the exam dates near, candidates must also pay attention to last-minute revision and time management techniques. Getting familiar with the exam pattern, solving mock tests, and following a healthy routine can go a long way in improving performance. As JEE Main is held in a computer-based mode, candidates must also get accustomed to the online test-taking environment.

JEE Main is a competitive exam with lakhs of students competing for limited seats in the best engineering colleges. Therefore, adequate preparation, following guidelines, and punctual access to vital documents such as the city intimation slip and admit card are important for a hassle-free examination process.

With the issuing of the city intimation slip, candidates get a better idea about where they are writing the exam. With the admit card release, candidates will finally know everything that needs to be done on exam day. With the students preparing to take on one of the greatest academic tests in their life, students are warned to keep themselves updated, schedule travel in advance, and be alert to keep up their study tempo.
