Overview
- The National Testing Agency issued the advisory on Thursday directing applicants to complete Aadhaar re‑KYC through DigiLocker and to use their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e‑Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials before filling the JEE Main form.
- Candidates must register by November 22, 2026, with a paid late‑fee window from November 23 to 26 and a correction window from November 27 to 29, while city intimation slips will be released on December 30 and admit cards on January 13, 2027.
- NTA requires the name and date of birth entered in the application to exactly match the Class 10 certificate or marksheet because mismatches can cause document rejection or delays in biometric and identity verification.
- Times Now’s step‑by‑step guidance mirrors the advisory: log in to DigiLocker, open Issued Documents, select the Aadhaar refresh or re‑KYC option, consent to authentication, and confirm the OTP sent to the mobile number linked to Aadhaar.
- DigiLocker and JanParichay let NTA fetch authenticated records, so completing re‑KYC now reduces the risk of late-stage verification problems that could prevent sitting the January Session 1 exams or slow down seat allocation during counselling.
