If you're appearing for NEET PG this year, today is the day you've likely been waiting for. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences is expected to put out the exam city intimation slip for NEET PG 2026, giving candidates their first real clue about where they'll need to be on exam day. It's not the admit card yet, but it's the piece of information most people actually plan their travel around.

What Exactly Is This Slip, and Why Does It Matter?

The city intimation slip does exactly what its name suggests, it tells you which city you've been allotted for the exam, based on the preferences you filled in during registration. What it won't tell you is the exact exam centre or address, that detail comes later with the admit card. Still, for anyone who needs to book a train ticket, arrange a place to stay, or simply plan the day around travel, this slip is the first concrete piece of information worth acting on.

  • City intimation slip expected: August 11, 2026
  • NEET PG 2026 exam date: August 30, 2026
  • Admit card release: August 27, 2026
  • Official portal: natboard.edu.in (also accessible via nbe.edu.in)
  • What the slip shows: Allotted exam city only, not the exact centre
  • What the admit card will show later: Exact exam centre, address and reporting instructions

How to Actually Download It

  • Go to the official NBEMS website at natboard.edu.in
  • Look for the NEET-PG link under the Examinations section
  • Click through to the Application link for the current session
  • Find and click the Login option
  • Enter your user ID and password to sign in
  • Head to your dashboard and look for the city intimation slip link
  • Click to view and download it, then save a copy for your own records

You don't necessarily have to go hunting for it either. NBEMS typically sends the slip directly to candidates' registered email addresses as well, so it's worth checking your inbox, and your spam folder, around the same time you check the portal.

A Word of Caution Before You Book Anything

It's worth mentioning, since it's happened before, that city allotment doesn't always match exactly what candidates requested. In a previous NEET PG cycle, some candidates found themselves allotted centres several hundred kilometres from their preferred city, which understandably caused a fair bit of frustration on social media. There's no guarantee this year's allotment will run into the same issue, but it's a good reason to check your slip carefully the moment it's out, rather than assuming your first-choice city automatically came through.

What to Do Once You Have It

Once your city slip is in hand, take a few minutes to double-check your name, registration number, date of birth, and the allotted city against your own records. If anything looks off, it's better to reach out to NBEMS through their official grievance channel sooner rather than later, since these things tend to get harder to sort out closer to the exam date. Assuming everything checks out, this is your cue to start locking in travel and accommodation, especially if your allotted city means an overnight trip.

Keep in mind the exact exam centre address is still a couple of weeks away, arriving with the admit card on August 27. So while the city slip lets you plan the broad strokes, hold off on anything that depends on knowing the precise venue until the admit card is out.

This is a developing update, and the exact release time for the slip hasn't been officially confirmed by NBEMS. Candidates are advised to check natboard.edu.in directly through the day rather than relying on unofficial screenshots circulating online.
