JEE Main 2026: Application Form Correction Window Opens December 1; Registration Deadline Nears

    JEE

    The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the correction facility for the JEE Main 2026 Session 1 application form will open on December 1, 2025, providing candidates a final opportunity to rectify errors in their submitted forms. The correction window will remain active until December 2, 2025 (11:50 PM).

    This facility will be available only to those candidates who complete their registration before the deadline. The registration process will close in the last week of November, and applicants are advised to complete their forms without delay to become eligible for corrections.


    What Candidates Can Edit

    NTA will allow modifications in specific fields including:

    • Category and sub-category

    • Class 10 and 12 academic details

    • Exam city preferences

    • Paper selection (B.E./B.Tech, B.Arch, B.Planning)

    • Medium of examination

    Candidates whose Aadhaar verification did not match may also be allowed to edit:

    • Date of birth

    • Gender

    • Name (only in certain cases with proof)


    Fields That Cannot Be Changed

    Some details are strictly non-editable, even during correction:

    • Mobile number

    • Email ID

    • Address

    • Uploaded photograph and signature

    Once the correction window closes, NTA will not entertain any further requests for changes under any circumstances.


    Additional Fee May Apply

    If the correction leads to a change in category or exam city, or any modification that affects the fee structure, candidates will need to pay the difference online.


    Why the Correction Window Matters

    The JEE Main form is crucial for admission to NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and acts as a qualifying exam for JEE Advanced. Any incorrect detail can affect a candidate’s exam city allocation, category benefits, eligibility, or admission process. NTA has therefore urged students to carefully review every entry in their form.


    Next Steps for Students

    • Complete registration before the November deadline.

    • Keep certificates and documents ready for correction, if required.

    • Login between December 1–2 and submit final corrections.

    • Save and download the corrected confirmation page.
