JEE Main 2026 Name Mismatch in Aadhaar and Class 10 Certificate
Issue: My name on the Aadhaar card and class 10 certificate do not match. Will this create an issue in JEE Main registration?
This may create an issue. NTA has clearly mentioned that they will verify the name and photo of the candidates from Aadhaar.
Solution: There are two ways to solve this issue:
- Candidates should get their names on the Class 10 certificate updated as per Aadhaar.
- Or they can update their name in the Aadhaar card, so that there is no mismatch.
Commonly asked questions
No. The JEE Mains admit card and city slip are very different documents.
The city slip is released earlier to inform you of the test city/date for travel planning, whereas the admit card (hall ticket) is released 3 to 4 days before the exam, containing the specific centre address, roll number, and guidelines required for entry.
The details needed to doenload the JEE Mains admit card are:
- JEE Main application number
- Password.
Yes, NTA has released the JEE Main session 1 admit card for this date.
JEE Main 2026 Mismatch in Live Photo, Uploaded Photo and Aadhaar Card Photo
Another major issue that the candidates are facing is a mismatch between the live photo and the uploaded photo. If the live photo captured by you does not match the photo you upload, then you cannot proceed to the next step of the application process.
Also, candidates have to make sure that their photo on the Aadhaar card matches the photo they have uploaded. As NTA will verify the photo of the candidates on the application form with that in the Aadhaar card.
Solution: There is only one way to solve this issue:
- Get the photo on your Aadhaar card updated as soon as possible. If the photo in your Aadhaar card is very old or you have gone through a major change in your appearance (haircut, hair colour, surgery, etc.), make sure the photo in the Aadhaar card is accordingly updated.

How to Update Name and Photo on Aadhaar Card?
To update the name and photo on the Aadhaar card, candidates have to visit an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre or Aadhaar Seva Kendra. Unfortunately, these two details cannot be changed online.
- Visit the Aadhaar Enrolment Centre or Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
- Fill the Aadhaar enrollment form.
- Submit the documents needed to change the details.
- Pay the fee and get the details updated.
- Using the enrolment number printed on the acknowledgement form given to you by the centre, you will be able to track the changes to your Aadhaar card.
| How long does it take to update Aadhaar details? |
| As per the official Aadhaar website (uidai.gov.in), it takes around 30 to 90 days, depending on the type of update and verification process. However, most people usually get their Aadhaar updated within 30 days of applying. Therefore, JEE Main 2026 candidates who have yet not updated their Aadhaar card must do so as soon as possible so that they can get their Aadhaar verified before the registrations end on November 27. |
