The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released an advisory for students preparing to appear in the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026. The agency has asked aspirants of BTech, BArch and BPlanning programmes to update their Aadhaar card, UDID card and category certificate (EWS, SC, ST, OBC-NCL) well in advance. This will help them avoid mistakes and discrepancies while filling the online application form.
Before registering for the exam, candidates have been advised to carefully check and update their important documents. This step will reduce the chances of problems during the application process or later at the time of admission.
The online registration form for the first session of JEE Main 2026 will be available in October 2025 on the official website – jeemain.nta.nic.in.

The documents that must be checked and updated are:
Aadhaar Card: The candidate’s name, date of birth (as per Class 10 certificate), father’s name, latest photograph, and address should all be correct.
UDID Card (for Persons with Disabilities): This card should be valid. If it is expiring, students must renew it before applying.
Category Certificate: Candidates applying under EWS, SC, ST or OBC-NCL categories must have a valid and updated certificate issued by the competent authority.
The NTA has underlined that incorrect or outdated documents may lead to rejection of the application form or create difficulties in the admission process. Students have therefore been urged to act early and avoid last-minute issues.
