Chairman, CSAB 2013 has published a message seeking apology for the mix-up and mistake(s) In JEE Main 2013 Round 1 allotment which was announced yesterday. CSAB Chairman 2013 Sunil Kr Sarangi says the goof-up happened because of a computer glitch, which “happened because of usage of Orissa instead of Odisha”.
The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 registration requires a scanned photograph of the candidate. However, live photo is not needed but a clear one with white background, as per the information bulletin.
The mismatch led to wrong allotment which ran across for all the institutes and branches. The home state allocation was also affected because of the same since 50% of the seats in an NIT are reserved for the home state candidates.
Also, there were mistakes for the students involving Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand students and involving dual (architecture and engineering) seat allocation.
Many students got affected because of these mix-ups and students who were allotted a seat yesterday are out of the list today, or the college and branch which was allotted to a student today is now changed.
There are some students who had no allotment yesterday but got seats allotted to them today.
The Chairman states that the flaws are now corrected and correct seat allocation is available on the website. You can check your allocation here.
It’s appreciable the Chairman and CSAB team has apologized for the blunder but it clearly shows the administrative failure of CSAB. It must not be taken on lighter note and ignored because it involves career and future of many students. Now who can be sure the new allotments are goof-up free?
LATEST: Careers360 has written an Open Letter to Chairman CSAB 2013. We have pointed out all the questions that students are asking the CSAB Body conducting GFTI/CFTI admissions for 2013.
JEE Main is India’s pioneer engineering entrance exam for admission in premier colleges like NITs, CFTIs etc. and screening round to appear for JEE Advance which is the key for admissions in most reputed ones, the IITs.
In time when the whole admission process is under red scanner for some or the other reason, let it be normalization procedure followed by the CBSE or delays in result announcement, students and parents are protesting against the admission process adopted this year, petitions are filed in High Courts of India and even apex court, Supreme Court of India, such blunder puts a question mark that how administratively efficient the whole process is?
Supreme Court of India has also mentioned in the hearing today that the admissions to the NITs will be subjected to the final verdict of the Apex Court.

On Question asked by student community
Hello, Yes, this mismatch will absolutely cause a problem during your JEE Mains 2026 registration, but there is a clear solution.
You must enter your father's name "Girisharadya" (without the 'a') in the main application form, as it appears on your 10th-grade marksheet. The 10th marksheet is the primary, non-changeable document for all NTA applications.
When the system tries to verify this with your Aadhaar, it will detect a mismatch ("Girisharadya" vs. "Girisharadhya") and will show a pop-up warning. NTA has created a process for this: you will be given an option to enter your father's name as per your Aadhaar in a separate field. The system will then capture both spellings, allowing you to complete the registration.
However, since you have time before 2026, the safest and most highly recommended solution is to get your Aadhaar card (and your father's) corrected to match the spelling on your 10th marksheet ("Girisharadya"). This will prevent any confusion or problems later during JoSAA counselling and final document verification.
I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day!
Hello Aspirant,
Jee main's high scoring chapters:
For mathematics : Coordinate Geometry, Calculus (especially Integral Calculus), and Algebra (Complex Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Matrices, Determinants) .
For physics: Thermodynamics, Current Electricity, Electrostatics, and Optics.
For Chemistry: Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Hydrocarbons, and Chemical Kinetics.
This chapters are the highest scoring in jee main. Hope this will help u. Wish u good luck.
Hello,
If you are currently studying in Class 12 and haven’t yet received your registration number or roll number from your board, you can leave that field blank or enter “NA” (Not Applicable) in the JEE Main application form.
Once your board issues the official registration or roll number, you don’t need to worry, NTA verifies your board details later during counselling or admission, not during registration.
So, do not enter random numbers, use “NA” or skip if optional.
Hope you understand.
Hello,
No, this small spelling difference will not cause major issues in JEE Main registration . But it’s better to keep your documents consistent to avoid any confusion during verification.
You can prepare an affidavit stating that both names, Girisharadhya and Girisharadya belong to the same person (your father). This is a valid and accepted method.
So yes, making an affidavit is perfectly fine and will solve the issue. Just keep a copy of it with you in case officials ask for clarification.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
Yes, you can correct the wrong APAAR ID later during the designated JEE Main correction window by logging into the official NTA website and accessing the correction facility. Here in this article you will find more info about this query.
I hope it will clear your query!!
