NIFT 2026 Admit Card vs NIFT 2026 City Intimation Slip
Here are some basic differences between the NIFT admit card and the city intimation slip.
| Particulars |
NIFT Admit Card 2026 |
NIFT City Intimation Slip |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose |
It is used as a document to enter the NIFT exam hall. |
The intimation slip only tells you about the exam city that has been allocated to you. |
| Details mentioned |
In addition to the name of the exam city and exam date, the admit card will also contain the following information:
|
The city intimation slip will contain the following information.
|
| Required on exam day |
Yes, you need to carry a printout of the admit card with you. Without the admit card, you won't be allowed to take the exam. |
No, the intimation slip is merely meant to inform you about the exam city you have been allocated. It has no use beyond that. |
| Required post-exam |
Yes, the admit card (stamped and duly signed at the exam centre) may be required even after the exam is over. So, it must be preserved. |
The exam city intimation slip is of no use once the exam is over. |
Why does NTA release NIFT city Intimation Slip?
Some candidates may be wondering whether the admit card will be released alongside the city intimation slip. The admit card for NIFT 2026 will be released after the intimation slip. Importantly, the candidate needs the admit card to take the NIFT 2026 exam. The intimation slip can't be used as an entry pass. This is because the intimation slip merely lets the candidate know about the exam city they have been allocated.
On the other hand, the NIFT 2026 admit card will contain details like the name and address of the NIFT 2026 exam center allocated to the candidate, roll number, exam date and timings, and exam-day guidelines. This information will not be available on the NIFT city intimation slip.
