Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This year, cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have the highest number of JEE Main exam centers. These cities offer more accessible options for students, making it easier for candidates from various regions to find an exam center near them.
The JEE Main 2026 exam for sessions 1 and 3 is being conducted in January and April 2026.
To check your JEE Main 2026 exam centre, follow these steps:
On Question asked by student community
Hello dear candidate,
You can fill your JEE main and advance forms 2026 normally . No, your 11th registration number will not cause any problem.
You will be treated as 12th appearing student in 2026, not as a dropper . You just need to make sure that your CBSE 12th result comes out in 2026 before counselling.
Thank you.
To be eligible for Himachal Pradesh state quota you must have passed atleast two examinations from Himachal pradesh including the 10th and 12th grades. The other criteria are for government employee wards, if the parents have worked there for atleast two years and completed their 10th and 12th from HP.
Hello, Yes, this will almost certainly cause a major problem during your JEE 2026 application.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is extremely strict about data matching. When you fill out the JEE application, you are required to enter your name, date of birth, and your parents' names exactly as they appear on your 10th-grade marksheet.
The problem will occur during identity verification. The system will try to match the details you entered (from your 10th marksheet) with the data stored in your Aadhaar. When it sees that the father's name does not match, your application will be flagged for a mismatch and will likely be rejected. Even though your name is correct, a mismatch in your father's name is considered a critical data error.
You have time before 2026, so you must get this fixed. The best solution is to get your Aadhaar card corrected. Go to a permanent Aadhaar Seva Kendra (ASK) with your original 10th marksheet and use it as the official proof to update your father's name on your Aadhaar. Do not wait until the JEE registration period begins, as this process can sometimes take time.

Hello, Based on recent JEE Main trends, here are the approximate targets for the OBC-NCL category.
It is difficult to give an exact "marks" target for 2026, as the marks vs. percentile data changes every year and with every single exam shift (depending on its difficulty). However, as a safe estimate, you could aim for 135-145+ marks for the 20k rank and 155-165+ marks for the 10k rank. You should always focus on maximizing your percentile, as that is the more reliable metric.
I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day!
