Candidates are advised to log in using their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials. According to NTA, this is intended to help prevent discrepancies in identity verification and biometric data during subsequent stages of the application process.
Candidates should use their personal credentials rather than another person's account. They should also ensure that they can access the account they intend to use before starting registration.
For step-by-step guidance, candidates can read PW's JEE Main 2027 registration guide through MeriPehchaan.
