JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Application: The National Testing Agency (NTA) today reopened the application window for Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026 Session 2 following multiple requests from candidates seeking additional time to submit their forms and complete the application process.
According to the official notice, the registration window will remain open until 9 pm on March 13, while the fee payment facility will be available until 11:50 pm the same day.
Eligible candidates who have not yet applied can submit their applications through the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.
