The JEE Main 2026 application process is strictly regulated by the National Testing Agency (NTA), and candidates must carefully review their details before submitting the form. After the final submission, NTA does not allow cancellation or withdrawal under any circumstances. However, the agency provides a limited correction window for rectifying specific fields. For 2026, this correction period ended on December 2, 2025. Students appearing for the January and April sessions should now focus on exam preparation, admit card download, and upcoming exam-related timelines.
Since cancellation isn’t permitted, candidates should keep preparing for the exam and use the opportunity to strengthen their performance. If a student feels underprepared, they may skip Session 1 and reappear in Session 2 without any issue. Those who made minor errors in the application but couldn’t correct them can still appear for the exam if the details don’t affect eligibility. Students should also regularly check NTA notifications for any important updates that might impact their exam plan.
NTA opened the JEE Main 2026 form correction window on its official website and closed it on December 2, 2025. During the correction period, candidates could edit:
Identity details (if Aadhaar was not used)
State Code of Eligibility
Other fields specified by NTA in the official notification
Corrections were accessible by logging in with the application number and password at jeemain.nta.nic.in.
