NEET 2026 City Intimation Slip (Released) LIVE: Download Link, Admit Card Release Date

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the NEET UG 2026 City Intimation Slip today, April 13, 2026. This major announcement brings much-needed clarity to over 26 lakh medical aspirants who have been eagerly waiting to plan their travel. Registered candidates can now access the slip on the official NTA portal at neet.nta.nic.in.

This slip is a preliminary document that lists the city where the candidate’s exam center will be located. It is important to note that this is not the official admit card.

The city slip is designed to give students, especially those traveling from far-off districts or internationally, enough time to book trains, flights, or hotels and avoid the last-minute stress that often accompanies one of India’s most competitive exams.

NEET 2026 Admit Card: When is it Coming?

While the city slip tells you where to go, the NEET UG 2026 Admit Card is the document that tells you how to enter the hall. Based on the NTA’s consistent patterns over the last five years, the hall ticket is typically released 3 to 5 days before the examination date.

With the exam scheduled for May 3, 2026, aspirants should expect the admit card link to go live between April 29 and April 30, 2026. The admit card will contain critical information that the city slip does not, including:

• The exact address of the exam center.

• The candidate’s Roll Number.

• Specific reporting times (usually starting from 11:00 AM).

• Detailed exam-day instructions and self-declaration forms.

Strict Dress Code and Exam Day Guidelines

The NTA has reiterated its strict security protocols to ensure a fair examination. The 2026 guidelines emphasize a “less is more” approach to clothing. Candidates are advised to wear light-colored, half-sleeve clothes with simple trousers or salwars. Large buttons, heavy embroidery, and layered outfits are strictly prohibited as they hinder the frisking process.

Footwear and Accessories:

• Shoes with thick soles and high heels are not allowed; candidates must wear slippers or sandals with thin soles.

• Any form of jewelry (earrings, rings, pendants, nose pins) or metallic items are barred.

• Electronics like smartwatches, calculators, and even stationary items like pens (which NTA provides) are not permitted inside.

Religious Attire:

Candidates who wear customary or religious dress (such as a Hijab, Burqa, or Turban) must report to their assigned centers at least two hours early—by 12:30 PM—to undergo thorough manual frisking without compromising the exam start time.

Final Preparation and Strategy

With the exam city now known, the final countdown has begun. NEET 2026 will follow the established pattern: a 200-minute test featuring 200 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Candidates are required to attempt 180 of these for a total of 720 marks.

Experts suggest that this is the time to shift from learning new concepts to rigorous revision of the NCERT syllabus. Solving previous years’ question papers and taking full-length mock tests at the scheduled exam time (2:00 PM to 5:20 PM) can help tune your body clock and improve speed and accuracy.
