JEE Main 2026 Registration Live: Apply Now at jeemain.nta.nic.in
The National Testing Agency has opened up the registration window for JEE Main 2026 Session 1. Students aiming for engineering admissions through the January session can now head to jeemain.nta.nic.in to complete their forms.
The application window will stay open till November 27, 2025, after which no entries will be accepted. The first session of the exam is scheduled between January 21 and 30, 2026, while the second session will take place from April 2 to 9, 2026.
What’s New This Year
The NTA has kept the overall exam structure the same, but this time, the registration process is expected to be smoother with updated online verification. Candidates can fill out the form, upload their documents, and pay the fee directly through the official website.
Each exam day will be split into two shifts —
- Morning: 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon
- Afternoon: 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
For B.Arch and B.Planning, the duration will be 3 hours 30 minutes, with timings from 9 AM–12:30 PM and 3 PM–6:30 PM.

What Students Should Know
Only the official NTA website (jeemain.nta.nic.in) should be used for applying or downloading admit cards. Any other site claiming to host registration links isn’t authentic.
Students are also advised to keep a copy of their application and payment proof in case of any technical delays.
With less than a month before the registration window closes, it’s better to complete the process early to avoid last-minute server rush.
