The National Testing Agency (NTA) has started sending important email alerts to students who have applied for JEE Main 2026 Session 1. These emails inform some applicants about errors in their submitted documents, such as an "identity mismatch." Students must fix these issues quickly to keep their application valid. The registration window for JEE Main 2026 Session 1 is open until November 27, 2025 . All applications must be submitted online at jeemain.nta.nic.in .
Many students who have already registered for the JEE Main 2026 exam have received these emails. The NTA is asking them to correct details or re-upload documents because of problems found during the verification process. It is important to know that these emails do not mean your application is rejected. Instead, they are a chance for you to correct any mistakes. The NTA also sends a confirmation email once a form is successfully submitted, even if there is a document issue later.
What to Do if You Get an Alert Email
If you receive an email from NTA about your JEE Main 2026 application, you need to act fast. This email will tell you exactly what problem needs to be fixed. It could be:
- Your identity document is not clear.
- The wrong identity document was uploaded.
- Your photograph needs to be re-uploaded.
The NTA gives students the option to correct their identity document or change the document they selected. Always check the email carefully to understand the specific error. Then, follow the instructions provided by the NTA to fix the issue. Make sure you recheck any document or photograph before uploading it again to avoid further problems.
How to Check Your Application Status and Emails
All registered students should regularly check their email accounts for any updates from the NTA. Make sure to look in all email folders, including your Inbox , Spam , and Promotions folders. You should also check your registered mobile number for any SMS alerts. The NTA will continue the verification process in the coming days and may send more updates. It is important to keep track of your application status online as well.
Key Changes in JEE Main 2026 Application Process
For JEE Main 2026, the NTA has introduced some new rules and changes to the application process to make it more secure and efficient. Students should be aware of these updates:
- Live Photograph Upload: Candidates now need to upload a live photograph during the application process. This means you will take your picture directly through the application portal, ensuring it is recent and matches your appearance.
- No Document Correction Window: Once you upload your documents, there will be no separate correction window to change them later. This makes it very important to upload correct and clear documents the first time. The current email alerts are a special chance to fix initial errors.
- Automatic PwD Verification: Details for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) will now be checked automatically from the UDID portal. This helps speed up the verification process for eligible students.
Important Dates and Advice
The registration for JEE Main 2026 Session 1 is closing soon. The final date to submit your application form is November 27, 2025 . Students are strongly advised not to wait until the last day to apply. Submitting your form early helps you avoid any last-minute technical problems or heavy website traffic. It also gives you time to fix any errors if the NTA sends an alert email.
Make sure all your details, documents, and photograph are correct and clear when you apply. This will help ensure your application for JEE Main 2026 is accepted without any issues.
