City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card: What's the Difference
These are two separate documents released roughly two weeks apart, and candidates commonly confuse the two.

| Can it be carried to the exam? | No, it is not valid for entry | Yes, a coloured printout is mandatory for entry |

In short, the city intimation slip tells you which city to book travel and stay for, while the admit card, released later, tells you the precise venue and the time you need to report.
What Information the City Intimation Slip Shows
- Candidate's name and NEET PG registration number
- Date of birth, as recorded during registration
- Allotted test city for NEET PG 2026
- Exam date, August 30, 2026
- No exam centre address, room number, or reporting time; these appear only on the admit card
How Test City Allocation Actually Works This Year
NEET PG 2026 introduced a state-based selection system rather than a direct city-choice system. At the time of application, every candidate had to select three preferred test states, with the first mandatorily being the state of their correspondence address, and the remaining two ideally from neighbouring states.
- NBEMS attempts to allot a test city within the candidate's correspondence state first
- If unavailable, a test city in one of the two other preferred (neighbouring) states is allotted instead
- Allocation is not first-come-first-served; NBEMS has explicitly clarified this
- The methodology involves a computerised, randomised sequencing of candidates, followed by allotment based on preferences, subject to seat availability and administrative feasibility
- Test state and city preferences, once submitted, cannot be changed during the correction window
The allocation of the Test City/Test Centre for NEET PG shall not be based on a 'First Come, First Served' basis.
How to Download the NEET PG 2026 City Intimation Slip
- Visit the official NBEMS website at natboard.edu.in (also accessible via nbe.edu.in)
- Navigate to the NEET PG 2026 examination section
- Click on the link for the city intimation slip once it goes live
- Log in using your application number and password, or date of birth as required
- Submit your login details to access the slip
- The city intimation slip will appear on screen with your allotted exam city
- Verify your name, registration number, date of birth, and allotted city carefully
- Download and save the slip for your own reference and travel planning
Some past cycles have also seen NBEMS email the city intimation details directly to the registered email ID, in addition to making the slip downloadable on the portal. Keep an eye on your registered email inbox and spam folder around the expected release date as well.
What If Your Allotted City Isn't What You Expected
- Since test state and city preferences were locked at the application and correction stage, there is generally no further request window to change the allotted city after the intimation slip is released
- Start planning travel and accommodation immediately once your city is confirmed, particularly if it falls outside your home city or state
- Double-check the exact centre address and reporting time only once the admit card is released on August 27; the city slip alone is not sufficient for exam-day planning
- If you notice a factual error in your personal details (name, date of birth) on the slip, reach out to NBEMS through the official grievance or helpdesk channel listed on the website rather than assuming it will self-correct
What Comes Next After the City Intimation Slip
- Admit card release: August 27, 2026, with the exact test centre, address, and reporting time
- NEET PG 2026 exam: August 30, 2026, in a single shift from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, computer-based, in English
- Result: expected by September 30, 2026, based on the current information bulletin timeline
- Counselling: conducted through All India Quota by the Medical Counselling Committee and through respective state authorities for state quota seats, once results are declared
Common Mistakes to Avoid Around the City Intimation Slip
- Assuming the city intimation slip is valid for exam-day entry; it is not, only the admit card is
- Booking non-refundable travel before the slip is officially released, based only on unofficial predictions
- Ignoring the registered email inbox, since NBEMS has previously sent city details by email alongside the portal release
- Panicking if the allotted city is not the first preference; remember allocation depends on seat availability and administrative feasibility, not first-come-first-served timing
- Waiting until August 27 to start travel planning, when the city itself is already known nearly two weeks earlier through this slip
