National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an important information for lakhs of students preparing for the Joint Entrance Examination i.e. JEE Main 2026. This advisory is especially for those candidates in whose application form a difference has been found between the photo uploaded and the identity card. NTA has made it clear that now some more time is being given to the candidates to resolve such issues, so that no student is deprived of the examination.
According to the information given by NTA, the last date of photo verification has been extended to January 15 for the candidates who have applied on the basis of any identity card other than Aadhar Card and in whose documents irregularities have been found. Earlier this time limit was less, but considering the problems of the students, the agency has given relief in it.
NTA has said that a special link has been sent to the registered email ID of the candidates whose documents have found discrepancies. Through this link, candidates will have to upload a certificate in PDF format. This certificate will be linked to their identity and photo. Along with this, NTA has also made it clear that on the day of examination, candidates will have to take the printed copy of this certificate with them to the examination centre. The officials present there will do physical verification of this certificate, so that there is no doubt about the identity of the candidate.
What did NTA say?
NTA says that this entire process is being adopted to maintain transparency and prevent fraud. The agency wants to ensure that only those candidates who have applied correctly are included in the examination. Therefore, students who have received information through email have been advised to upload the required documents within the stipulated time without any delay.
When will the exam be held?
At the same time, NTA has also shared important information regarding the JEE Main 2026 exam. According to the agency, JEE Main 2026 Session-1 examination will be conducted between January 21 and January 30.
