JEE Advanced 2026 registration closes tomorrow: May 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM IST . The exam authority has invited the top 2.5 lakh JEE Main 2026 qualifiers to register only through the official site, jeeadv.ac.in .
JEE Advanced 2026 registration: last-hour checklist
You must log in using your JEE Main 2026 application number and password to start the process. Upload scanned copies of your Class 10 certificate , Class 12 certificate , and any relevant category certificate before submitting.
Select up to eight preferred exam cities during registration. Complete the online fee payment to validate your application and then download and print the Registration Confirmation Page after payment. The authority commonly allows a short fee‑payment buffer; the fee window is often extended until May 4, 2026 (11:59 PM IST) — but your registration is not valid until payment is completed.

Admit cards will be issued on May 11 and must be downloaded from the official portal using your application credentials. The JEE Advanced exam will be conducted on May 17 in two shifts; check the admit card for your exact shift and centre.
Candidates are advised to finish registration and payment well before the last day. High traffic and technical glitches are common on final deadlines, which can prevent uploads or payment confirmation. If your fee payment does not complete, your application will remain unvalidated.
The registration process and document upload are mandatory steps to secure a seat at the JEE Advanced stage. Keep your JEE Main application number and password handy while registering and retain the Registration Confirmation Page for all future correspondence. The exam authority remains the only official channel for application, admit cards, and updates on timelines.
