The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a crucial update for students preparing for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 1 . The deadline to make corrections to the online application form is today, December 2 , at 11:50 PM . NTA has clearly stated that there will be no extension for this correction facility. All candidates who have registered for the exam and need to modify any details in their application must do so before this final closing time on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in .
JEE Main is one of India's most important entrance exams for admission to top engineering and architecture colleges. Ensuring all information in your application is correct is a critical step for your future admissions. The correction window opened on December 1 , giving candidates a short period to review and update their forms. This facility allows applicants to fix any errors they might have made during the initial registration process.
Having correct details in your JEE Main application is vital. The information you provide will be used for various later stages of the admission process. For example, it directly impacts your participation in JoSAA counselling , which is where seats are allocated in IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Incorrect data could lead to difficulties or even rejection during counselling. Furthermore, your JEE Main details are also necessary for successful registration for JEE Advanced , the next step for admission to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
Candidates are advised to use this last opportunity wisely. Any mistake, big or small, regarding personal information, academic details, or category status, should be fixed immediately. Once the correction window closes, NTA will not entertain any requests for changes, and the details submitted will be considered final for all future processes.
