In the FAQs, NTA has confirmed that the JEE Main 2026 session 1 exam will be held between January 21-30, 2026, while the session 2 exam is scheduled between April 2-9, 2026. Students must apply separately for each session, and the form for Session 1 is open till November 27.

It also said that documents from DigiLocker are valid. Students can also upload any registration or roll number issued by their respective boards. For Aadhaar verification, the OTP will be sent to the number linked with Aadhaar. A mismatch in name between the Class 10 marksheet and Aadhaar will not affect candidature.

Uploading a category certificate is not mandatory. Students only need to enter the certificate number, issuing authority and date. If the certificate is not yet issued, they must enter the receipt or application details. Moreover, the agency clearly mentions that the use of calculators is strictly not allowed. The exam city choices depend on the options filled during the form process. However, once allotted, the exam centre cannot be changed.

The JEE Main 2026 form correction date is December 1 to 2, 2025. Candidates who wish to make corrections to their forms can do so by visiting jeemain.nta.nic.in and logging in with their details.
