What is the difference between a city slip and an admit card?

It is important to understand that a city intimation slip is not an admit card. It only provides information about the exam city.

On the other hand, the admit card (hall ticket) contains the complete address of the exam center, reporting time, and important exam guidelines. The admit card will be released a few days before the exam.

When will the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 exam be held?

The JEE Main 2026 Session 2 exam will be held between April 2 and April 8, 2026. The exam will be conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode at various international centres, including India.

Important advice for students

Before the exam, all candidates should carefully check their city slip and plan their further preparations accordingly. Also, keep an eye on the official website until the admit card is released.

Planning ahead and having all necessary documents ready will help avoid any hassles on exam day.
