Questions related to JEE Main

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to JEE Main ?

HELLO,

The JEE Main application verification system uses the name you enter in the application form at the time of Aadhar Card verification so if you your Aadhaar was updated but still it is showing name not verifies then it means the new details have not been reflected in the online system use by NTA

Now what you can do is :-

1. First check the status of your Aadhaar card updates on the official UIDAI website by using your Update request Number.

2. Verify the details you have entered in application form like ensure that the name that you have entered in the JEE main application form exactly matches your newly updated Aadhaar card

3. You can use the NTA Mismatch Advisory like if a name mismatch pop up appears during the application process so for this NTA has provided the solution first close the pop up then a new window will appear that will allow you to enter the name exactly as it is on your Aadhaar card

4. If still the problem does not solve then you can contact the NTA Helpdesk

Hope this Helps!

While filling the form of JEE Mains 2026 January session, upload the improvement marksheet, as your improvement marksheet is your final marksheet of class 12th AISSCE exams. The one that you got before the improvement doesn't matter now as you appeared for the compartment exam to increase your overall score. So, use the marksheet given to you after appearing for your improvement exam everywhere as that is your finalized class 12th marksheet.

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,

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.
