What Is the NEET PG City Intimation Slip?
The NEET PG city intimation slip is a preliminary notice, not the final hall ticket. It informs a candidate which city their exam centre will be located in, so they can plan travel and accommodation ahead of exam day. It does not mention the exact exam venue address, reporting time, or seating details - that information is provided only in the admit card.

How the NEET PG 2026 Test City Is Allotted
According to the NBEMS information bulletin, test city and test centre allotment for NEET-PG 2026 is not done on a first-come-first-serve basis. Submitting the application early does not give any candidate a preferential right to a particular test state, city, or centre. Instead:
- Candidates are first arranged in a randomized sequence by the computerized allocation system.
- Allotment is then carried out based on the test-state preferences the candidate submitted at the time of registration.
- Candidates typically select up to three preferred test states during registration, with their home state usually taken as the first preference.

Important Instructions for Candidates
- The city intimation slip only confirms your allotted exam city - it is not valid for entry into the exam hall.
- Keep your login credentials (User ID and Password) safe and accessible; you will need them again to download the admit card.
- Cross-check all details on the city slip carefully; if there is a discrepancy, refer to the contact/helpdesk details provided on natboard.edu.in.
- Do not rely on unofficial websites or social media for your city allotment - always confirm through the official NBEMS login.
- Regularly check natboard.edu.in for updates on the admit card, exam-day guidelines, and any changes to the schedule.
- Certain application details - such as name, mobile number, email ID, test centre, and nationality - generally cannot be changed once submitted, so verify your test-city choice carefully at the registration/correction stage in future cycles.
