The NTA has released the allotment details on its official website, and candidates can now access their exam city assignments through the dedicated portal.
A large number of foreign candidates, including those from the Gulf region, appear for the JEE Main exam every year. The exam serves as a crucial qualification test for admission to undergraduate engineering programs in top Indian institutes.
The announcement comes as a significant relief for candidates who were awaiting the allotment of exam cities in the region.
The NTA is scheduled to conduct the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 examination in January 2026. The exact dates will be announced shortly.
