Changes in Examination Centres and Dates
- In response to various representations received from aspirants of the JEE Main 2026 Session 2, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has made revisions to the scheduled examination centres and dates on the following grounds:
- Aspirants in the Middle East: Multiple requests were received from candidates regarding a change of examination centres due to the ongoing conflict in the region. The NTA has considered these requests and revised the allotted centres accordingly.
- Exam Rescheduling Due to Easter Celebrations: Candidates who requested via email to reschedule their JEE (Main) 2026 examination due to the Easter celebration on April 5, 2026, have been accommodated. Accordingly, their examination dates have been rescheduled.
- Clash with Other Examinations: To avoid a clash between JEE (Main) 2026 Session 2 and the Class XII board exams, the NTA coordinated with Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to obtain exam dates of candidates appearing in the Class XII board exams in 2026. An input field was added in the JEE (Main) 2026 Session 1 and 2 application forms for such candidates to fill in their CBSE registration/roll numbers. Using the schedule data provided by CBSE, the NTA planned their exam dates to avoid conflicts. Moreover, if any requests were received from aspirants for a change in the JEE (Main) 2026 Session 2 date due to other examinations, they were considered and the exam dates were rescheduled.
These measures have been taken to ensure fairness and convenience for all candidates appearing in JEE (Main) 2026 Session 2.
