Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?
Jee main registration is live but I don't know if I have an option of choosing exam centre. Because I live in kota for prep but my hometown is in Bihar. And admit card is released just before the exams, it will be tough for me to catch.

Hello,

Yes, during JEE Main registration, you can choose up to four preferred exam cities in order of priority. Since you are staying in Kota but belong to Bihar, you can select both locations. For example, Kota as your first choice and your hometown city in Bihar as another option.
When the admit card is released (usually a week before the exam), the final center will be allotted from your chosen options.


Hope you understand.

I am reappearing in 12th cbse exams 2026 as I had a compartment in over-all result. I have to fill for jee mains and advanced in 2026, but now NTA requires 11th registration number, so will it hamper my enrollment in mains? Will NTA consider me a 12th grader or a dropper? Please explain in detail.

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.
