Candidates taking the JEE Main 2026 exam in Nanded on January 24, 2026, should plan to arrive at their exam centers early. This is because a large event called the “Hind Di Chadar” Samagam is happening on the same day. This event might cause traffic delays in the city.
Traffic Advisory Issued for Nanded
The National Testing Agency (NTA), which manages the JEE Main exam, has released an important advisory. The advisory is specifically for students appearing for JEE Main 2026 in Nanded. The "Hind Di Chadar" Samagam is an event organized by the Government of Maharashtra to honor Guru Tej Bahadur Ji. It is expected to attract many people, which could slow down traffic in Nanded on January 24, 2026. This date is one of the days for the JEE Main 2026 exam session 1.
What Candidates Should Do
To make sure students have a smooth experience and reach their exam centers on time, the NTA advises them to:
- Leave Early: Plan to leave home much earlier than usual. Expect possible traffic jams due to the samagam.
- Carry Important Documents: Always bring your JEE Main admit card. Also, carry a valid government-issued photo ID like an Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or driving license. These might be checked by security or traffic police.
- Follow Centre Instructions: Listen carefully to all instructions given by NTA officials at the exam center. This is for your safety and to ensure the exam runs smoothly.
The NTA has stressed that arriving late for the exam could lead to disqualification. Therefore, careful planning is very important. Students should check the exact location of their exam centers beforehand and decide the best route to take.
