New Delhi, Nov. 13: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an advisory to help JEE Main 2027 applicants select the correct nationality and Aadhaar status categories during registration.
In a message on X on Friday, the agency clarified the categories applicants must choose based on their citizenship and Aadhaar status.
The NTA provided the following guidelines:
Indian Nationals: Indian citizens, including NRIs holding an Aadhaar card.
Foreign Nationals: Foreign citizens and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) cardholders.
NRIs Without Aadhaar: NRIs holding an Indian passport but not possessing an Aadhaar card.
NTA Advises Candidates on Registration and Application Corrections
The NTA has also reminded applicants that November 22, 2026, is the deadline for JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration.
According to the agency, more than 5.72 lakh candidates had registered, while over 4.07 lakh had completed fee payment.
The agency advised candidates to use their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials. This will help avoid discrepancies during identity verification and biometric checks.
It also recommended completing re-KYC through DigiLocker before submitting the application. Candidates must ensure that their names and dates of birth match their Class 10 certificates or marksheets.
JEE Main 2027 | Fresh Application Forms Allowed After Errors
The NTA has relaxed application rules following complaints from candidates about errors in their Session 1 forms.
Applicants can now submit a fresh application even if they have already generated an application number or paid the examination fee.
However, only the latest application for which the examination fee has been successfully paid and a confirmation page generated will be considered valid.
If a candidate submits a fresh form but does not complete the payment and generate its confirmation page, the earlier completed application will remain valid.
The agency said each fresh application would receive a new application number. Candidates must re-enter all details and upload their photographs, signatures and supporting documents again.
The NTA advised applicants to regularly check the official JEE Main website for further updates and instructions.
