NTA Bars Calculators in JEE (Main) 2026 After Bulletin Error

The agency apologized for a typo that referenced an on‑screen calculator, replacing the document during the registration window.

Overview

  • An official notice confirms calculators of any kind are not permitted, with the earlier reference attributed to generic test‑platform text that does not apply to JEE (Main).
  • A corrected information bulletin is now available on nta.ac.in and jeemain.nta.nic.in, and candidates have been urged to download the updated version.
  • Session 1 registration remains open until November 27, 2025, with exams scheduled for January 21–30, 2026.
  • NTA expressed regret for the mistake and clarified that no on‑screen calculator will be accessible during the computer‑based test.
  • The Times of India reported that the Ministry of Education sought a report on the lapse, with officials describing it as an inadvertent carryover from other exam guidelines.
