    JEE Main 2026 admit card

    The official portal for the JEE Main 2026 admit card is jeemain.nta.nic.in. Check that site for the Session 2 admit card release and any official circulars from the National Testing Agency (NTA).

    JEE Main 2026 admit card: how to download

    NTA typically publishes the admit card on the jeemain.nta.nic.in portal. You will need your application number, date of birth and security pin (if prompted) to log in and download the PDF.

    If the admit card is released, download it, verify all personal details, and print at least one clear colour copy for the exam centre.

    JEE Main 2026 admit card: exam guidelines and documents

    Carry the printed admit card to the exam centre along with a valid photo ID issued by the government (Aadhaar, passport, PAN, driving licence or school ID where applicable). Also carry a recent passport-size photograph if the admit card specifies one.

    Follow the exam centre reporting time, which the admit card or official NTA notice will mention. Do not enter the centre after the cutoff time printed on the admit card.

    Dress code, prohibited items and safety instructions

    A simple dress code is normally advised by NTA—avoid items that make security checks lengthy. Electronic devices (mobile phones, smart watches), calculators, study material, and jewelry that could hide devices are not allowed inside the exam hall.

    Check the admit card and NTA instructions for any health or safety protocols. The admit card or official circular will list items allowed and forbidden in detail.

    Question papers, mock tests and post-exam updates

    NTA usually releases post-exam resources like answer keys and question paper PDFs on its official website or through announced portals. Keep your application details handy to access any candidate-specific updates after the exam.
