What is exam city intimation slip? How is it beneficial for the students?


An exam city intimation slip is a document that contains details of the exam city where the candidates will appear for the exam. It is released by the examination conducting authority for the convenience of the candidates. Intimation slip generally includes detail such as the candidate’s name, date of birth, photograph, signature, roll number/registration number, and address of the exam centre.
Typically, the examination authorities issue the exam slip before the release of the admit card. It is made available on the official portal of the conducting authority. It is an important document for the candidates as it serves as proof of the exam centre allotted to them.
In India, one of the largest examination conducting bodies, NTA releases exam city sleep for various academic and recruitment exams before the release of the admit card. The intimation slip is helpful for the candidates as it allows them to plan their travel arrangements and reach the exam centre on time. A piece of prior knowledge about the examination centre helps the students tackle the last-minute rush.
Usually, the examination authorities try to allocate exam centres in the city opted for by the candidates. However, due to administrative/logistic reasons, a different city can be allotted.
NTA JEE/NEET Intimation Slip
The National Testing Agency conducts the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for candidates who wish to pursue engineering and medicinal science respectively. Millions of students register for these entrance examinations every year. At the time of the registration, candidates are required to fill in their preference of examination city. As stated earlier, NTA takes every possible effort to allot a centre in one of the cities selected by the candidate. However, the testing agency reserves the right to allot a centre in a city other than the candidate’s choice. Therefore, before the release of the JEE and NEET Admit Cards, the NTA issues the exam city intimation slip for the candidates to become familiar with the examination city.
