NTA Issues JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Exam City Intimation for Kuwait and Dubai Candidates
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the exam city intimation slip for candidates appearing in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 2 from Kuwait and Dubai. This crucial update allows aspirants registered for these international centres to check their allotted exam city through the official NTA portal, providing advance planning information for the upcoming high-stakes engineering entrance test.
Exam City Slip Release Timeline and Bahrain Status
Earlier, on March 21, 2026, the NTA had already released the city intimation slip for other candidates across various locations. For candidates registered from Bahrain, the agency has clarified that it is currently in active coordination with the Indian Embassy to finalize arrangements. Updates regarding the exam city allocation for Bahrain-based candidates will be shared promptly as soon as the logistical details are confirmed.
JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Examination Schedule
According to the official examination schedule released by the National Testing Agency, JEE Main 2026 Session 2 will be conducted in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode on specific dates in April 2026. The detailed schedule is as follows:
- April 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8, 2026: Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech)
- April 7, 2026: Paper 2A (B.Arch), Paper 2B (B.Planning), and both papers combined
The examination will be administered at numerous centres located across various cities throughout India, as well as in 15 designated cities outside India, ensuring accessibility for international candidates.
Important Distinction: City Slip vs. Admit Card
Candidates must carefully note that the city intimation slip is not the official admit card. This slip serves solely to provide preliminary information about the city where the examination centre will be situated, allowing candidates to make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements in advance. The JEE Main 2026 Session 2 admit card, which contains specific details such as the exact centre address, reporting time, and candidate instructions, will be released separately by the NTA closer to the examination dates.
