About the City Intimation Slip
The city intimation slip specifies the city where a candidate’s exam center will be located. It does not provide the precise address of the examination venue. The NTA releases this slip in advance to allow candidates sufficient time to make necessary travel arrangements to their respective exam cities.
The actual admit card will contain full details, including the specific exam center address, reporting time, and candidate instructions. This admit card is a mandatory document for entry to the examination hall.
