The National Testing Agency (NTA) has confirmed that the JEE Main 2026 registration process will commence in October 2025. Ahead of the official opening, the NTA has released an important advisory urging all engineering aspirants to prepare and update their required documents immediately.

This proactive step is essential to prevent application rejections and last-minute stress, ensuring a smooth registration for the two sessions (January and April) of the prestigious Joint Entrance Examination (Main).

Key Documents Aspirants Must Update Now

The NTA has specifically highlighted three mandatory documents that must be current and accurate before the October registration window opens on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in:

1. Aadhaar Card Details: Ensure your Aadhaar card details precisely match your Class 10th Certificate. This includes your name, date of birth, latest photograph, address, and father's name. Any discrepancy here is a major cause for application failure.
2. Category Certificates (EWS/SC/ST/OBC-NCL): Aspirants applying under reservation categories must check the validity of their certificates. If your certificate is near expiry or requires renewal, get it done now. The OBC-NCL and EWS certificates, in particular, often need to be renewed annually to be considered valid for the current admission cycle.
3. UDID Card (For PwD Candidates): Candidates applying under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category must ensure their Unique Disability ID (UDID) Card is valid and renewed if necessary.

Important Takeaways for Engineering Aspirants

The registration link will be active for a limited period only. Aspiring B.Tech. and B.E. students must treat this advisory as a critical step in their admission journey.

• Action Plan: Use the month of September to gather all documents and apply for any necessary renewals (especially for category certificates).
• Official Website: All official information, including the detailed information bulletin and syllabus, will be released exclusively on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
• Dual Sessions: Remember you have the option to apply for either one or both of the January and April 2026 sessions.
