New Delhi, November 2026 : The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Tuesday urged candidates applying for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 Session 1 to complete their online application formalities before the November 22 deadline. The agency also announced a relaxation allowing applicants to submit fresh forms to correct errors in their existing applications.
In an update posted on X, the NTA said more than 5.72 lakh candidates had registered for the examination, while over 4.07 lakh aspirants had completed their fee payments. It asked applicants to ensure that they submit their forms, pay the examination fee and download the confirmation page before the deadline.
Candidates can complete the application process through the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. The last date for submitting applications is November 22, 2026.
The NTA has also advised candidates to log in using their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials. This is intended to prevent discrepancies in identity verification and biometric data during subsequent stages of the application process.
Applicants have been advised to complete Re-KYC through DigiLocker before filling out the online application form so that their latest details are fetched. The agency has further clarified that the candidate's name and date of birth entered in the application must match the details mentioned in the Class 10 certificate or marksheet.
The NTA has asked candidates to regularly visit its official website for updates, instructions and notices relating to JEE Main 2027.
In a separate notification, the agency announced that candidates who made mistakes while filling out their Session 1 application forms would be allowed to submit fresh applications, even if they had already generated an application number or paid the examination fee.
However, the NTA clarified that only the latest application for which the examination fee has been successfully paid and a confirmation page generated will be treated as valid.
If a candidate submits a fresh form but fails to complete the fee payment and generate the confirmation page, the earlier application that fulfilled both requirements will remain valid.
The agency also stated that every fresh application will generate a new application number. Candidates will have to enter all details again and re-upload their photograph, signature and other required documents.
The relaxation follows representations received from applicants seeking an opportunity to rectify errors in their online forms.
