JEE Main Reporting Time 2026 - The National Testing Agency provided the details of JEE Main 2026 reporting time on the website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. According to the JEE Main notification, the reporting time for the shift 1 JEE Main 2026 exam is 7:00 AM, and that of shift 2 is 1:00 PM. The JEE Mains exam will commence at 9 AM (shift 1) and 3 PM (shift 2). These rules ensure that there is enough time to conduct the checking and frisking processes and ensure candidates are seated before the commencement of the exam. Therefore, the JEE reporting time is set ahead of the scheduled start of the JEE Mains 2026 exam.
According to JoSAA data, the NIT Warangal cut-off for CSE (Other-State) candidates ranged approximately between 2,300 and 3,200 across various rounds. The Home-State closing ranks for the same branch were higher, varying by round and category. Trends from the previous year suggest that Other-State candidates needed relatively lower All India Ranks than Home-State candidates to gain admission.

Hi,
Your class 12th passing year would be 2025, as your improvement exam marks have replaced your previous marks. You should enter 2025 as the passing year for JEE Mains 2026, as NTA considers the year in which you last appeared and passed all the subjects, even if you originally passed earlier.
Hope it helps!!!

The JEE CORRECTION window does allow changes to the academic details in the registration in which the pdf of 10th and 12th grade marksheets is also asked for attachment.
Hello
Don’t worry, this mistake can usually be fixed. NTA opens a correction window for JEE Main forms, where you can edit details like your 10th or 12th registration number. Once it’s open, log in to the official site and correct your entry. If the correction window has already closed, you should immediately email or call NTA explaining that you entered your 10th registration number instead of the 12th. They often allow such corrections through official requests. Keep screenshots and proof of your emails for safety. Stay calm, this won’t affect your eligibility if corrected in time.
