Why Updating Your Aadhaar Card Is Crucial For JEE Main 2026
The authority published a public notice dated September 29 on both the NTA and JEE Main official websites, which serves as an advisory for all interested students to update their documents before registration begins.
The NTA, in a notification released on September 29, urged aspirants to ensure that their Aadhaar card, UDID card (for persons with disabilities), and category certificates (EWS/SC/ST/OBC-NCL) are updated and valid before filling out the JEE Main 2026 application form. This step seeks to avoid discrepancies or rejections at later stages of the admission process.
The advisory also highlights that the Aadhaar card should have accurate details, including the candidate’s name, date of birth (as per the Class 10 certificate), photograph, address, and father’s name. Similarly, candidates with disabilities must ensure their certificates are valid, updated, and renewed as required. Candidates belonging to reserved categories will have to ensure that their certificates are current and compliant with requirements.
Aspirants intending to take the JEE Main 2026 are advised to regularly check the official NTA website – nta.ac.in and the JEE Main portal – jeemain.nta.nic.in for further updates, detailed instructions, and notices regarding JEE Main 2026.
