The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the correction window dates for JEE Main 2026 Session 1, providing candidates a limited chance to rectify errors in their application forms.
The correction facility will be available from December 1 to December 2, and all changes made during this period will be considered final once submitted.
Candidates appearing for JEE Main 2026 Session 1 can make corrections to their application forms only between December 1 and December 2.
This will be the sole opportunity to fix any mistakes, as the form will be locked after submission of corrections. If any modifications impact the fee amount, candidates must pay the revised fee.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE WILL NOT BE EXTENDED
The application process for the January session is currently ongoing and will close on November 27. The NTA has clarified that it will not extend the last date to register for the exam.
Candidates wishing to make edits can log in using their application number and password on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
However, the correction facility is limited, and certain fields cannot be modified.
DETAILS THAT CANNOT BE ALTERED
Candidates will not be allowed to change their registered mobile number, email address, permanent and present residential addresses, emergency contact details, or uploaded photograph. These fields will remain locked to maintain data authenticity.
