The post JEE Main 2026 Session 2 City Intimation Slip Updates for Dubai, Kuwait & Bahrain appeared first on ALLEN Overseas.

For our NRI students across the Middle East, this update is very important. Some students have received centers in their home countries, while others are seeing changes. Here is a simple guide to help you understand everything step by step.

How to Download Your City Intimation Slip

Follow these simple steps to get your slip:

1. Visit the official JEE Main website: jeemain.nta.nic.in
2. Click on the link that says “Advance City Intimation Session-2”
3. Enter your Application Number and Date of Birth or Password
4. Your City Intimation Slip will appear on the screen
5. Download the slip and take a printout for your reference

Important: This is not your Admit Card. It only tells you the city of your exam center. The final Admit Card with the exact center address will be released about three days before your exam date.

What This Update Means for Middle East Students:

The official notice stated that exams will be held in 15 cities outside India. For students in the Gulf region, the situation varies by country.

Based on information shared by our students and available official updates, here is what you need to know:

• Some students have received centers in their home countries like UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait
• Students in Bahrain are facing a different situation where the Manama center is not available for Session 2
• If your slip shows a city in India, you will need to make travel plans accordingly

Read the sections below for country-specific details.

Urgent Alert for Bahrain Students: Change City Option

For students who originally selected Bahrain (Manama) as their exam center, a new alert has appeared on the NTA login portal. When you log in, you may see a red message that says:

“You have been provided a one-time opportunity to modify your choice of examination city. You can login by Clicking Here and selecting the ‘Change City’ option.”

This confirms that the Manama center is currently not available for JEE Main 2026 Session 2.

How to Change Your City:

If you see this alert on your login screen, follow these steps:

What Students Are Reporting:

Based on what our students have shared, the available options for change are mostly cities in India. Since the exam starts on April 2, we recommend booking your flights to India as soon as you confirm your new city. Airfares tend to go up quickly during early April.

Center Status Across the Middle East

For students in other Gulf countries, centers appear to be active and confirmed. Use this table to check your allotment against the official city codes on your slip.

Practical Tips for Students in the Gulf

If your center is in the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, or Kuwait, here are some tips to help you on exam day:

• Carry a Light Jacket: Exam halls in the Gulf are known for strong air conditioning. The temperature can drop to 20–22°C. Wearing a light hoodie or jacket will keep you comfortable during the three-hour exam.
• Plan for Morning Traffic: In the UAE, if you live in Dubai but your center is in Sharjah, morning traffic on the E311 or E11 can be heavy. Aim to reach near your center at least 90 minutes before reporting time.
• Keep Your Passport Ready: For international centers, your original passport is your main identity proof. Make sure the name matches your JEE application exactly.

Practical Tips for Students Traveling to India

If your slip shows a city in India or if you are a Bahrain student changing your city to India:

• Arrive Two Days Before Your Exam: Try to land in India at least 48 hours before your exam date. This gives you time to rest and adjust to the weather.
• Stay with Family if Possible: If you have relatives in your exam city, staying with them can help reduce stress. Home-cooked food and a familiar environment make a difference.
• Book Travel Early: Flight tickets to India fill up fast in early April. Book as soon as you confirm your city.

Stay Updated with Allen Overseas

The situation with exam centers can change, and new updates may come from the NTA at any time. To make sure you do not miss any important information:
