CUET UG 2026 Exam City Slip Live: How to Check, Download and Prepare After City Intimation
NTA released the CUET UG 2026 exam city intimation slip on 29 April 2026 , and it is now live on cuet.nta.nic.in.
This slip tells you the city where your exam centre will be located, not the exact centre address or the session timing. The admit card — which NTA will issue later — will include the full centre address, date, time and other exam-day details.
Quick summary: CUET UG 2026 city slip release
- The National Testing Agency (NTA) has published the CUET UG 2026 exam city intimation slip on the official portal cuet.nta.nic.in.
- Release date: 29 April 2026 . The slip displays only the exam city, not the centre address, date or session timings.
- You must use your application number and date of birth (DOB) to log in; a captcha must be filled to access the slip.
Step-by-step: How to check and download your CUET UG 2026 city intimation slip
- Open your browser and go to cuet.nta.nic.in.
- Click the link labelled "CUET UG 2026 Exam City Display" on the homepage.
- Enter your application number and your date of birth (DOB) exactly as you used during registration.
- Fill the captcha shown on the page and submit.
- Your city intimation slip will appear on screen. Download the PDF and save it.
Download tips: Save a copy on your phone and in cloud storage. Email the PDF to yourself and, if possible, print one clean copy for your records.
Login checklist and troubleshooting tips before you access the slip
- Keep your application number and DOB ready. Double-check the DOB format you used during registration before you log in.
- Enter the captcha exactly; if it is unreadable, use the reload/refresh icon to get a new one.
- Use a stable internet connection and an updated browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). A desktop often works more smoothly than a phone, but mobile access is supported.
- If login fails, clear your browser cache or try a different browser or device. Retry later if NTA servers are busy.
What the city slip shows vs what the admit card will include
| Item | City intimation slip | Admit card (later issue) |
|---|---|---|
| Exam city | Yes | Yes |
| Exact exam centre address | No | Yes |
| Exam date | No | Yes |
| Session/time (morning/afternoon) | No | Yes |
| Roll number / candidate ID | Not necessarily; slip is city-only | Yes |
| Exam-day instructions and reporting time | No | Yes |
Why two documents? The city slip gives early confirmation of the city so you can start basic planning. The admit card follows with full operational details — exact centre, timing and specific instructions.
After you download: immediate actions to take
- Save the PDF in at least two places: your device and cloud storage. Email a copy to yourself for quick access.
- Print at least one clean copy to keep with you. A printed copy helps when you compare details on the admit card later.
- Check your name, parent name, and DOB on the slip. If anything looks wrong, note the exact error and gather supporting documents (certificate, ID) so you’re ready if a correction window opens.
What’s still missing and how to prepare while you wait for the admit card
The city slip does not include the full exam centre address, date or session timing — these will appear on your admit card. Do not book non-refundable travel or accommodation until you have the admit card.
Use this waiting period productively: - Finalise the list of documents you must carry on exam day (admit card, ID proof, photographs) and arrange digital and physical copies. - Prepare a flexible travel plan — choose refundable or changeable options where possible. - Keep following cuet.nta.nic.in for the official admit card release date and any correction-window announcements.
Exam-day essentials checklist (documents, ID, and items to carry)
| Required item | Notes |
|---|---|
| CUET UG admit card | City slip alone is NOT sufficient. Admit card will be mandatory on exam day. |
| Valid photo ID | Aadhaar, passport, or any ID accepted by NTA (carry the same ID you used during registration). |
| Passport-size photograph | Keep an extra photo as per NTA guidelines. |
| Transparent ballpoint pen | If the exam is pen-and-paper, follow NTA instructions on allowed stationery. |
| Water bottle and mask | Small water bottle; follow any health instructions applicable. |
| Comfortable clothing | Check NTA's dress and prohibited items guidance before the exam. |
Carry only items allowed by NTA. The city slip itself does not replace the admit card or ID requirements.
If you find incorrect details on the slip: recommended next steps
- Do not panic. Note the exact error on the slip and capture screenshots.

- Watch cuet.nta.nic.in for announcements on correction windows or official instructions from NTA. Official channels will detail how to apply for corrections or raise queries.
- Retain copies of all communications and be ready to submit proof when the portal provides a correction facility.

Smart tips to stay organised until the admit card arrives
- Create a single folder for all CUET documents: application PDF, city slip, ID proofs, photos, and later the admit card.
- Set calendar reminders for NTA updates and for a week before the expected exam window. If you plan travel, pick refundable bookings.
- Continue regular revision and take mock tests on a timed schedule so you stay exam-ready even while administrative details are pending.
- If you need help, note that official announcements and contact details will be available on the CUET portal — avoid relying on third-party phone numbers or social posts.
Final checklist before the admit card is issued
- Keep your application number and DOB handy and confirm you can log in to cuet.nta.nic.in.
- Back up the city slip PDF and printed copy.
- Prepare ID proofs and photographs, and keep scanned copies ready for uploads if a correction process opens.
- Hold off on irreversible travel bookings until you have the admit card with the exact centre address and date/time.
