According to the recent NTA Mains advisory, candidates will need to provide details such as their name, date of birth, gender, photograph, and address when filling out the registration form. NTA will only allot exam centres to candidates in their state of permanent residence. The steps taken for a smooth registration process will lessen errors. However, candidates must enter their parents’ names manually. In case of a name mismatch between Aadhaar and Class 10 certificates, students can easily resolve it during the online JEE Mains 2026 application process.
