The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially issued the city intimation slip for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) Undergraduate (UG) 2025. This significant update provides relief for lakhs of prospective medical candidates throughout the nation, as they are now able to obtain information regarding the city where they will be sitting for one of India’s most competitive entrance exams.

According to the intimation issued by the NTA, candidates who have already successfully registered for NEET UG 2025 can now check the official website — neet.nta.nic.in — and download their respective city intimation slips. This slip gives crucial information about the exam city that has been allotted to a candidate according to the preferences marked by them during the registration process.

The NEET UG 2025 test will be conducted on May 5, 2025. The test will be in offline mode, as per the conventional pen-and-paper mode. This mode, which is commonly known to candidates, is answering multiple-choice questions on a physical OMR sheet. Offline mode is popular among many because of its ease of access and simplicity of handling mass testing logistics across different parts of India.

The city intimation slip is a pre-requisite step in the examination process. Please do not confuse this with the admit card, which will be posted separately in due course. The intention of issuing this slip is only to communicate to the candidates the city of examination so that they can plan their travel and stay well in advance if necessary. The exam centre details, including venue and timing, will be provided later on the admit card, which candidates will have to carry along with valid identification on the exam day.

To download the city intimation slip, applicants need to log in to the official NEET portal of NTA. Applicants have to input their application number, date of birth, and captcha code visible on the screen. After logging in, applicants can see, download, and print the intimation slip. It is recommended that students take a printout of the slip for reference and planning.

NEET UG is the path to Indian undergraduate medical education. By qualifying for this exam, candidates are entitled to be admitted to many programs such as MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery), BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery), and BSMS (Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery). These courses are provided by both government and private medical schools in the nation and are governed by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and other concerned bodies.

The issuance of the city intimation slip signals the start of the last lap of preparation for the candidates. With only a few weeks remaining for the examination, students are supposed to step up their revision, mock tests, and time management techniques. Coaching institutes, schools, and online learning websites are also stepping up their assistance, providing crash courses, test series, and last-minute advice to assist students in performing their best.

Parents and guardians too are contributing their bit during this time of high stress, providing encouragement and ensuring wards maintain a well-balanced schedule of study, rest, and food. NEET UG is not a test of knowledge alone, but also of mental endurance and emotional stability.

Since NEET UG is still the only entrance exam for medical courses in India (with the exception of AIIMS and JIPMER, which were previously exceptions but now come under the same category), its significance has increased with each passing year. It provides a uniform and transparent selection process for admission to medical colleges, and its results are eagerly awaited by students and institutions alike.

Applicants are requested to visit the official NEET NTA website on a regular basis for any updates on the release of admit cards and other examination announcements. Discrepancies in the city intimation slip should be reported at once to NTA via the helpline or official email for correction.

Finally, the release of the NEET UG 2025 city intimation notice is a landmark in the exam process. Now that the exam date is fixed for May 5 and the city information is known, students can prepare themselves and concentrate on giving their best.
