How Are JEE Main Exam Centres Allotted?

You can select up to four exam cities in your preferred order while completing the application form. However, NTA restricts your choices to cities in the state of your present or permanent address.

In some cases, the application portal may show only one available city. If fewer than four cities are available in your address states, NTA may offer options in other states. Such options depend on availability and administrative feasibility.

NTA tries to allot a city according to your preference order. However, your first choice is not guaranteed. The agency may allot another city for administrative or logistical reasons.

NTA may also merge two or more cities if very few applicants select a particular location. Its decision regarding the city and centre allotment is final.

Important points to remember:

  • Select your preferences carefully and check the available options in your application form.
  • Your choices must follow the present or permanent address restrictions.
  • If your present or permanent address is outside India, you must select at least one Indian exam city.
  • NTA may allot a city outside your preferences due to administrative or logistical requirements.
  • Check your admit card for the final exam city, centre address, date and shift.

How to Choose the Right Exam City

Choose a city that you can reach comfortably before your examination. Consider travel time, transport availability and accommodation before filling in your preferences.

Use these tips to arrange your choices:

  1. Select the nearest available city first: Check the cities displayed in your application form and choose the most convenient option.
  2. Compare transport connections: Check train, bus and flight availability where relevant. Consider the total journey time, not just the distance.
  3. Keep practical alternatives: Select other cities that you can reach without a difficult overnight journey.
  4. Check accommodation: If a city requires an overnight stay, confirm that you have a safe and reliable place to stay.
  5. Review accessibility: If you are a Person with Disability (PwD), check the relevant accessibility and examination support provisions.
  6. Verify your address details: Your city preferences depend on the present and permanent address entered in your application.

Do not assume that your friends will receive the same city or centre. NTA allots examination cities according to its rules and administrative requirements.

Check the JEE Main Exam Centres 2027 list before selecting your city preferences. The official bulletin lists 301 Indian cities and nine international cities, but your available choices depend on your address details.

Select your preferences carefully, save your application confirmation page and track the city intimation slip and admit card. Check your centre address, plan your route and keep all required documents ready before exam day.
