JEE Main Hall Ticket 2026 Soon: What Students and Their Parents Should Plan Right Now
JEE Main 2026 Session 1 exams are scheduled to start on January 21. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release official hall tickets within next few days. Know what students and their parents should do while waiting for the JEE Main admit card to be released.
While NTA has already released JEE Main 2026 city intimation slip on January 8, hall ticket containing specific exam centre, shift timings, and roll number is yet to be released. This is the final lap before JEE Main 2026 session 1 exam starts.
It is expected that NTA will release JEE Main admit card 2026 on January 17 or 18, as it had earlier notified that hall tickets will be out 3 to 4 days before the exam date.
As many candidates and even their parents are waiting for hall tickets, here are some things that must be taken care of.
Real time updates: JEE Main Admit Card 2026 [Live]: Release Date, Shift & Hall Ticket Soon
Do not just wait for JEE Main 2026 hall ticket to be released to start organising. Act on these things now:
- Photo Match: Find 2 to 3 copies of same photograph you used during registration. You will need to paste one on admit card when it is released.
- ID Check: Ensure your original Aadhaar card or other government ID is handy. Photocopies will not be accepted at exam centre gate.
- Dress Code Ready: NTA do not mention any strict dress code, but candidates should avoid fancy clothing at exam centre. Wear Tshirts, simple jackets with no or fewer pockets, light trousers with no big pockets, and slippers or sandals. Avoid shoes with thick soles or any jewellery/metal items.
A Note for Parents
- Parents should take care of travel and accommodation for exam day if allotted exam city as per JEE Main 2026 city slip is very far.
- Make sure the tickets and all other bookings have been finalised before exam day.
- Once hall ticket is out, check exact location of centre. If possible, do a test run and visit venue to check for traffic patterns.
- Keep atmosphere at home light. Avoid discussing mock test scores or comparing your childβs progress with others. A calm home leads to a focused mind.
JEE Main 2026 paper 1 exam will be held on January 21, 22, 23, 24, 28 and Paper 2 on January 29.
