Why is the city intimation slip released before the admit card?

The National Testing Agency releases the JEE Main 2026 city intimation slip in advance to help candidates plan travel and accommodation. This is particularly useful for candidates appearing in cities other than their home location. The admit card is released later, closer to the exam date, and serves as the mandatory document for entry into the examination hall.
