• Working Mobile Number & Email ID: All one-time passwords (OTPs), verification notices, and city intimation links are dispatched exclusively to this number/email.
• Valid Category Certificates: OBC-NCL and EWS certificates must be issued in the prescribed central government format on or after April 1 of the operational financial year.

Step 1: Authentication & Account Creation

Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in and click on JEE Main 2027 Registration. Candidates must authenticate using Aadhaar / DigiLocker / ABC ID (Academic Bank of Credits) or an alternate government-issued identity (Passport, Pan Card, or Non-Aadhaar verification at the test center).

• Candidate name, parents' names, and date of birth (which must strictly match the Class 10 certificate).

• Permanent and present addresses with active email and mobile contacts.

• Academic credentials for Class 10 and Class 12 (roll numbers, school codes, and passing status).

• Exam preferences: papers selected (Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech, Paper 2A for B.Arch, Paper 2B for B.Planning) and four preferred exam city choices in order of priority.

Step 3: Document Uploads

Ensure all scanned assets meet NTA file specifications:

• Recent Passport Photograph: Color or black-and-white with 80% face visible against a white background (10 KB to 200 KB, JPG/JPEG).

• Candidate Signature: Clear signature on white paper using black/blue ink (4 KB to 30 KB, JPG/JPEG).
