The National Testing Agency (NTA) on October 31 opened the application forms for Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026.
The last date to register for JEE Main 2026 January session is November 27 at 9 pm. The payment for the application fee can be done through credit, debit card, net banking or UP until November 27, 11.50 pm.
The official JEE Main website is jeemain.nta.nic.in.
While releasing the JEE Main 2026 information brochure on October 31, NTA said it would be providing an onscreen standard calculator throughout the computer-based test (CBT).
Candidates can use the basic calculator online for math with addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. The calculator, as per the NTA, also included functions for square root, percentage, etc.
However, in its latest notice on November 2, the agency stated that the calculator feature is a part of the ‘generic test’ conducting platform and does not apply to the JEE Main 2026 exam.
Further, continuing the trend, JEE Main in 2026, will also be held in two phases. The first session is set to be held from January 1 to 30, 2026, and the next session will be held between April 1 and 10, 2026. JEE Main is held for two papers, paper 1 (BE/ BTech) and paper 2 (BArch/ BPharm).
Candidates have an option of selecting up to four cities for exam centre from the state of their present or permanent address.
The NTA has the right to merge cities if there are few candidates and to allot a different city from the candidate’s choice for administrative reasons. Foreign candidates must select cities based on their present and permanent addresses and at least one city in India.
On September 29, the NTA urged candidates to ensure that their Aadhaar card, UDID card (for persons with disabilities), and category certificates (EWS/ SC/ ST/ OBC-NCL) are updated and valid before filling out the JEE Main 2026 application form. This step seeks to avoid discrepancies or rejection at later stages of the admission process.
In 2025, JEE Main was held in January and April. The January session exam was held from January 22 to 30 and the April session exam was conducted between April 2 to 8.
