The National Testing Agency has released the preliminary exam city notification slip for candidates enrolled for NEET UG 2026. This was communicated through an official public announcement, notifying applicants about the city where their exam centres will be situated.
Candidates can now retrieve the slip by signing in with their application number and date of birth. The agency emphasised that this document serves solely to inform candidates in advance of their assigned exam city and is not the official admit card.
