HSTES College Predictor 2026

Hello,

If you have already passed Class 12 earlier and you are only taking the improvement exam in 2026, then you must choose “Passed” in the JEE Main 2026 form .

JEE Main always considers the first year in which you passed Class 12 as your official passing year. Improvement does not change that. So your status is not “appeared” and not “appearing.” It stays “Passed.”

You should enter:

• Pass Status: Passed

• Year of Passing: Your original Class 12 pass year

• Marks: Your original marks (you can update later only if NTA allows it)

If you are giving Class 12 for the first time in 2026, then you must choose “Appearing.”

This is the correct and safe option for your JEE Main 2026 registration .

Hope it helps !

Hi Hriday

If your father's name is different on your Aadhar card and 10th marksheet, you need to change your father's name in the Aadhar card and match it with the spelling of the 10th marksheet, because when you take admission in college through JEE Mains score. They match your name, your father's name, and your mother's name with your 10th class marksheet, which serves as a real identity for document verification.

What college typically accepts-

• National Testing Agency(NTA), JEE Mains- NTA requires applicants to match their application name to official identity documents. These official identity documents are the PAN card, Aadhar Card, Driving License, Passport, Voter ID card and School ID card.
• Colleges Admission Authority- At the time of admission, the admission authority requires to match the application details be matched with the 10th and 12th marksheet as well as official identity documents.

I hope you will understand my point. These are some major issues which many students face during the time of admission in college.

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, you can apply for JEE Main even if you do not have a caste certificate right now.

You only need the caste certificate if you want to claim a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS).
If you do not have it at the time of filling the form, you can apply as General or General-EWS/OBC-NCL without certificate , and later you can upload the valid certificate during counselling or document verification.

So yes, you can fill the JEE Main form without a caste certificate.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

NTA has not yet announced the JEE Main correction window dates. It will open after the registration process ends, and the notice will be released on the official website.

You can usually edit details like school name and category-related information during the correction window. So, you should be able to correct the school name and the OBC certificate authority field if those sections are made editable.

Keep checking the JEE Main website regularly, and make the changes as soon as the correction window opens.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you need to enter your board registration number while filling the JEE Main application form .

This is the number given by your school board (like CBSE, ICSE, or state board) when you registered for your Class 10 or Class 12 board exams .

You can find it on your Class 10 or 12 admit card, marksheet, or registration slip provided by your board.

If you don’t remember it, you can ask your school for the registration number.

Hope it helps !

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

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.
