JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Application Correction Window Closes Tonight
The crucial application correction window for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 2 is set to close today, February 28, 2026, at 11:50 PM. Candidates who need to make any modifications to their submitted application forms must complete the process before this strict deadline on the official National Testing Agency (NTA) website. Once the window closes, no further changes will be permitted under any circumstances.
Correction Window Timeline and Next Steps
The correction facility was activated by the NTA on February 27, 2026, providing a limited opportunity for applicants to rectify errors or update information. After the closure of this window, the agency will proceed to release the advance city intimation slip, followed by the official admit card for Session 2 of the examination. These documents are essential for candidates to plan their travel and appear for the test.
Eligibility for Using the Correction Window
The correction window is accessible to two specific categories of candidates:
- Fresh Applicants: Candidates who applied as new registrants for JEE Main 2026 Session 2.
- Existing Candidates: Candidates who appeared in JEE Main 2026 Session 1 and have also registered for Session 2.
It is important to note that the fields available for editing vary significantly between these two groups, as outlined below.

Existing candidates are defined as those who:
- Registered during the Session 1 application period from October 31 to November 27, 2025.
