NTA is the authority that conducts and will release the JEE Main 2026 registration form. As the JEE Main exam is held in two sessions: January and April, registration for both sessions will be organized separately.
- Modes for Session 1 & 2: The mode to apply for JEE Main is online only. There is no other way to submit JEE forms. For the JEE Main 2026 session 1 application, the form will be released in October/ November 2025, and for the JEE Main 2026 session 2 application, forms are expected in February 2026.
- Preference of Session: Any aspirant can apply for both sessions of JEE Main. Candidates also have the option to appear in only one session if they prefer. Those who skip Session 1 can still apply and appear for Session 2.
- Registration Process: To register for any of the sessions, candidates are required to meet the JEE Main eligibility criteria. Once the application form is released, candidates are required to provide their basic details and generate their application number and password.
- Applying for Session 2: If a candidate has already applied for JEE Main Session 1 and wishes to appear for Session 2, they must log in using the same application number and password created during Session 1 registration. However, candidates who did not register for Session 1 and now wish to take Session 2 will need to complete a fresh registration.
