The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 city intimation slip soon. The January session of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main 2026) is scheduled to be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode from 21 January to 30 January 2026. Based on past trends, city slips are usually released about two weeks before the exam, so candidates can expect the slip in the first week of January 2026.
