Maniprabha SinghUpdated on 28 Nov 2025, 02:48 PM IST

NTA JEE Mains 2026- The National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced Aadhaar based update facility for JEE Main 2026 on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. 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.

The marks needed for a 99+ percentile in the JEE Main January attempt depend on the difficulty of the paper and the total number of candidates. Generally, you need roughly *180–200* marks out of 300 to hit the 99+ percentile. The exact cutoff varies each session, so checking the official NTA percentile score calculator or previous year cutoffs gives a more precise idea.


Hello aspirant

JEE Main accepts NIOS, so you can appear if you meet the basic eligibility.

BITS does not accept marks from two different boards, so this option won’t work for BITS.

VIT and SRM generally accept NIOS, but having two separate mark sheets can be an issue. You should check their official eligibility rules before applying.

Thankyou I hope this help
