Hello,
If the ten years question paper file is not opening, it may be due to file corruption, unsupported format or incomplete download. Try downloading the file again and make sure the download completes fully. Check if your device has an updated PDF reader or file viewer. If the file still does not open, try using another device to check whether the file is working. If none of these methods help, you should request a fresh copy of the question paper file.
Hope this helps you.

If you have entered the wrong details in the JEE Main application and the correction window has already closed, you cannot make changes from your portal now. The only option is to contact NTA as early as possible through their official helpline or email and explain the mistake with proof of the correct enrollment number. If the authorities approve, they will update it manually. Otherwise, the details submitted will remain unchanged. All the best.
