Exam Schedule and Important Information

The city slip for one of the most competitive engineering entrance exams is expected to be released approximately 3 to 4 days before the exam, likely in the second week of March. This national-level examination will be conducted in a computer-based test (CBT) format from April 2 to April 9 across various cities in India. After the registration window closed on February 25, the NTA received numerous requests from candidates to extend or reopen the online application portal. Students had requested the opportunity to submit their applications and pay the application fee for JEE (Mains) 2026 Session-2.

In response, the NTA has reopened the registration portal and provided a "special extended opportunity" for those who could not complete the registration process on time. The official notice advises candidates to ensure that all information entered during the online registration process is accurate and complete. As this is a special extended period, no correction facility will be available after the application form is submitted.
