NTA Reopens JEE Main 2026 Session 2 Registration Window: Final Opportunity for Engineering Aspirants
NEW DELHI, March 13, 2026 – In a surprise move, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially reopened the registration portal for the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) 2026 Session 2. This decision follows numerous representations from candidates across the country who missed the initial February deadline due to technical issues or ongoing board examination pressures.
The portal is active for a strict 24-hour window, providing a "one-time special opportunity" for those yet to apply or complete their fee payments.
Crucial Deadlines: Friday, March 13
Candidates must complete all formalities within the following cut-off times tonight:
Registration & Form Submission: The window closes at 9:00 PM.
Application Fee Payment: Successful registrants have until 11:50 PM to complete the transaction.
Official Website:
jeemain.nta.nic.in
Important: No Correction Window
Unlike the standard registration process, the NTA has explicitly stated that no correction facility will be provided after this special window closes.
Accuracy is Key: Candidates are urged to double-check their choice of papers (B.E./B.Tech, B.Arch, or B.Plan), exam city preferences, and category details before the final "Submit" click.
Documentation: Ensure that scanned photographs and signatures meet the prescribed size and format requirements to avoid immediate rejection.
Who Can Apply?
Fresh Candidates: Students who did not register for Session 1 or the initial Session 2 window.
Incomplete Applications: Candidates who registered previously but failed to complete the fee payment.
Session 1 Candidates: Those who appeared in January and now wish to apply for the April session can log in using their existing credentials.
Session 2 Exam Schedule
The JEE Main 2026 Session 2 is tentatively scheduled to be held from April 2 to April 9, 2026. This session is vital as the NTA will consider the "best of two" scores for the final All India Ranking (AIR), which determines eligibility for JEE Advanced 2026 (scheduled for May 17).
NTA Advisory: To avoid last-minute server congestion, candidates are advised to complete their registration well before the 9:00 PM deadline. For technical assistance, aspirants can contact the NTA Helpdesk at 011-40759000 or email jeemain@nta.ac.in.
