NTA Launches JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Correction Facility
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially opened the correction window for the Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE) Main 2026 Session 2, starting today, February 27, 2026. This critical portal will remain accessible to candidates until February 28, 2026, at 11:50 PM, providing a limited timeframe for applicants to review and amend their registration details.
Accessing the Correction Portal
Aspirants who need to make corrections must visit the official website at jeemain.nta.nic.in. It is highly recommended that students meticulously check their application information to prevent errors that could impact exam eligibility or the allotment of exam centres. Early login is advised to avoid last-minute technical issues due to increased portal traffic as the deadline approaches.
Eligibility for Correction Facility
The correction facility is available to two distinct categories of candidates:
- Fresh Applicants: Candidates who have applied exclusively for JEE Main 2026 Session 2 can utilize the correction portal to update specific selected details in their applications.
- Repeat Applicants: This group includes candidates who appeared in JEE Main 2026 Session 1 and have re-registered for Session 2. Both categories are permitted to make corrections, but the editable fields may vary based on their registration type.
Editable Details for Current Candidates
Current candidates refer to those who initially registered for Session 1 (held from October 31 to November 27, 2025) and re-registered for Session 2 (from February 1 to February 25, 2026). These individuals can rectify the following information:
- Course or paper selection
- Mode or medium of the question paper
- State code of eligibility
- Preferred exam cities
- Academic details from class 10 and 12
- Gender and category data
- Identity information, particularly if Aadhaar was not provided during initial registration
- Payment of fees details, where applicable
Applicants may be required to pay a correction fee, depending on the nature of the changes made. It is crucial to complete all adjustments before the window closes, as no further modifications will be allowed afterward.
Post-Correction Window Procedures
Once the correction facility concludes, the NTA will proceed with the next phases of exam preparation. The agency is scheduled to release:
- Advance city intimation slip
- JEE Main 2026 Session 2 admit card
These documents will contain vital information such as the exam date, shift timing, and allocated exam centre and city. Candidates must download and verify these documents carefully to ensure all details are accurate.
Final Advisory for Candidates
Exam authorities and experts consistently emphasize the importance of cautious form correction. After February 28, 2026, no additional opportunities will be provided to modify application details. Even minor inaccuracies can lead to complications during admit card verification or entry at the exam centre.
Students are urged to log in early, double-check every entry, and finalize corrections promptly to mitigate risks associated with deadline-related portal congestion.
