Don't just not show up - that'll cause you way more hassle than it's worth. There should be contact details on your citation - use those and explain that you have an exam that day. They are usually really understanding, and they'll either move it to a later date, or excuse you from doing it entirely. (I just asked if it could be deferred because I was starting my final year of uni, and they excused me outright)

But just to clear up a few things for the future:

* At the moment, you don't actually need to go to the Odeon/jury centre, unless you're specifically called for a case. How it works is, each day you're cited, you call a number, and they'll let you know if/when you need to travel in. It's entirely possible to go through your jury duty without actually sitting on a jury.
* If you have to travel for jury duty, you'll get travel expenses covered for you, along with potentially some loss of earnings if you're missing work because of it.
* All going well with your degree, you'll soon be ineligible to serve on a jury anyway :)
