FAQ's

The CMAT City Intimation Slip is a document released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) that tells candidates the city where their CMAT 2026 exam centre has been allotted. It helps candidates plan travel and stay before the exam day.

No. The city slip only shows the allotted exam city, whereas the CMAT admit card (released later) contains full details including the actual centre address, exam timings, reporting instructions, and entry requirements.

You can download it from the official CMAT website at cmat.nta.nic.in by logging in using your application number and date of birth (or password) once the city slip link is active.

No. Once the city is allotted and shown on the city slip, you cannot change it later. Any changes must have been done during the application or correction window before the city slip was released.

Note your allotted city and prepare travel plans if required.
