Sub: Advisory for Candidates Regarding Mismatch of Photographs with the Submitted Identity Proof Documents for Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026 - Reg.
The National Testing Agency will be conducting the JEE (Main) 2026 in two sessions. The online application form registration for JEE (Main) - 2026, Session-1 was made live from 31 October 2025 to 27 November 2025.
Upon successful completion of the online application process, it was observed that certain candidates registered using identity proof documents other than the Aadhaar Card. In some cases, the live photographs captured by the candidates during the application process did not match with the photographs as per records available with UIDAI.
