The National Testing Agency (NTA) will close registration for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main Session 2 on February 25. Candidates can apply on the official NTA website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. According to the official timetable, the JEE Main 2026 Session 2 test will take place from April 2 to April 9, 2026. Admit cards are scheduled to be released three to four days before the exam date.
JEE Main 2026 is being held in two sessions: the first in January and the second in April. Candidates seeking admission to BTech, BArch, and BPlanning programmes must submit their applications through the official portal by February 25.
Eligibility criteria state that candidates who passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination in 2024 or 2025, as well as those appearing in 2026, are eligible to apply. There is no age restriction for appearing in JEE Main 2026 Session 2
JEE Main aspirants who have applied and paid the examination fee for the January session and wish to appear for the JEE Main 2026 session 2 must log in using their previous application number and password. These students will now have to opt for the following:
i. Course (paper)
ii. Medium of the question paper
iii. State code of eligibility
iv. Examination cities as per the available options.
v. Educational qualification details (Class 10 and Class 12).
vi. Fee payment
Aspirants are not allowed to submit more than one JEE Main application form. If they do so, one JEE 2026 application number will be classified as UFM (Unfair Means), even if discovered later, and harsh action will be taken against the candidate, according to the NTA.
Furthermore, according to the official announcement, the repair window will be open from February 27, 2026 until 11:50 p.m. on February 28, 2026. Candidates are urged to submit all necessary modifications before the deadline, as the NTA has stated that no further corrections would be accepted after the window closes.
The NTA organizes the JEE Main examination to facilitate admission to prestigious universities such as NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs. Furthermore, only the top 2.5 lakh JEE Main qualified individuals would be able to take the JEE Advanced 2026 exam, which serves as a route to IIT admission based on their performance in the advanced test.
