JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Admit Card Errors: What to Do If Any Detail Is Wrong

JEE Main 2026 Session 2 admit card has been released, and students must carefully check all the details mentioned on it. Even a small mistake can create issues on exam day, so it is important to verify everything as soon as you download it, If you find any error, do not panic—but do not ignore it either. Taking quick action can save you from last-minute problems.

If any detail is wrong on your JEE Main 2026 Session 2 admit card, you must report and correct it immediately; otherwise you may face issues entering the exam hall.

Step 1: Check which details are wrong

Common admit‑card errors in JEE Main 2026 Session 2 include:

• Wrong or misspelt candidate name

• Incorrect date of birth / gender / category / PwD status

• Blurred, missing, or mismatched photograph or signature

• Wrong application number / roll number

• Incorrect exam city / centre / date / shift (BE/BTech vs BArch/BPlanning)

If any of these is wrong, do not ignore it; NTA may allow entry only if you have already reported the issue.

Step 2: Try official correction / editing option

If NTA has opened a “Correction” or “Edit Admit Card Details” option on the JEE Main portal:

1. Go to the official JEE Main website: jeemain.nta.nic.in.

2. Log in using your application number, password, and date of birth.

3. Click on the “Correction” / “Edit Admit Card Details” link (if visible).

4. Edit the allowed fields (typically name spelling, DOB, photo, signature, gender, category, etc.).

5. Upload supporting documents (Aadhaar, application screenshot, ID proof) if asked.

6. Submit the correction and download the updated admit card as well as the confirmation/acknowledgement page.

Important:

• NTA usually allows only certain non‑exam‑related details (such as spelling, photo, signature) to be corrected; exam‑date / centre / shift are generally not changed after the admit card is issued.

Step 3: If no online option is available

If the correction window is closed or the edit option is not visible, you must contact NTA urgently:

1. Visit the JEE Main website → go to “Helpdesk / Contact Us / Grievance” and note the official helpline number and email ID.

2. Call the NTA helpline during working hours (typically 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and describe your error clearly.

3. Email NTA with:

• Your application number

• A clear subject line (e.g., “Admit Card Error – Wrong Name / DOB / Photo”)

• Screen‑capture of the admit card and your online application form

• Clear scanned copy of your ID proof (Aadhaar, school ID, etc.) if the error is in name/DOB/category.

NTA advises:

• You should still appear for the exam with the downloaded admit card; NTA will try to correct the record later, but only if you have reported the issue before the exam.

Step 4: On exam day

• Carry two or three printouts of your admit card and the correction acknowledgement / email proof (if any correction was done).

• If there is a minor spelling mismatch (e.g., “Soumya” vs “Soumyya”) and your ID proof matches otherwise, you may still be allowed entry, but major mismatches can create problems.

• Using the official correction window (if available)
