JEE Mains: Aadhaar Card & Live Photograph Rules

Candidates should check whether their Aadhaar details are updated before applying for JEE Main 2027. Last year, NTA released a notification on September 29 asking candidates to update relevant Aadhaar, UDID and category certificate details.

The 2026 application process also included live photograph capture and identity-verification instructions which are likely to be followed this year. Candidates should therefore ensure that their personal details match their permitted identity documents and follow the photograph instructions displayed on the application portal.

NTA also issued a separate advisory for JEE Main 2026 candidates whose photographs did not match the submitted identity proof documents. This makes it important for applicants to review their uploaded photograph and identity details carefully.
