Hello,

Yes, you are right; you can upload your class 10th marksheet for the JEE Main 2026 registration, as DigiLocker documents are considered equivalent to original physical documents by law. You should download the digitally signed marksheet from your DigiLocker account to upload it to the JEE Main application form.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

As of the JEE Main January 2026 session, candidates can no longer choose their preferred exam cities. Instead, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will assign your exam center based on the address linked to your Aadhaar card.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Generally, UPES( University of Petroleum and Energy Studies) might have different admission criteria depending on the specific program. Some may require specific JEE Main scores, while others might consider alternative criteria like their own entrance exams (UPES Engineering Aptitude Test), merit in 12th grade or any other factors. Therefore, even if you didn’t qualify for JEE Mains, you might still be eligible for  certain programs at UPES. It’s best to check official UPES site for accurate admission requirements.

I hope this answers helps you!

Hello

Here is the short guidance for you to score well and prepare for JEE

  • Stick to a smart routine – Prioritize high-weightage topics and revise daily with a focused timetable.

  • Solve PYQs & mock tests – Practice like it’s the real thing; analyze mistakes without panic.

  • Quality over quantity – Understand concepts deeply rather than rushing through chapters.

  • Stay healthy & rested – Your brain needs sleep, water, and breaks to perform at its best.

  • Trust your journey – Stay calm, believe in your preparation, and avoid comparing with others.

Hello

Since you’re reappearing for your Class 12 boards in 2026, that will be counted as your official passing year. So, you will be eligible to write JEE Advanced in 2026 and 2027. Although you submitted the boards in 2025, that attempt won’t be considered due to the compartment. JEE Advanced rules allow 2 attempts in 2 consecutive years after passing 12th. So you still have both chances left, which is great! Just make sure you meet the other eligibility conditions too. Keep your focus strong, you’ve got this!
