To apply for the JEE exams in 2026, candidates must follow the official process announced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for JEE Main and by the Joint Admission Board (JAB) for JEE Advanced. The application process for JEE Main 2026 will tentatively begin in November or December 2025 for the January session and again in March 2026 for the April session. Students must visit the official NTA website at jeemain.nta.ac.in, register with their email ID and mobile number, fill in personal and academic details, upload scanned documents (photograph, signature, and category certificate if applicable), and pay the application fee online. It is important to check the eligibility criteria, exam syllabus, and registration deadlines before applying. Aspirants are advised to download the confirmation page after submission for future reference.

For JEE Advanced 2026, only those who qualify JEE Main 2026 and rank among the top 2.5 lakh candidates are eligible to apply. The application form for JEE Advanced will be released around May 2026 on the official website jeeadv.ac.in. Eligible candidates must register by logging in with their JEE Main credentials, fill the form, select preferred exam cities, upload required documents, and pay the application fee online. No offline mode is available for either exam.

Common search queries like “how to apply for JEE Main 2026,” “JEE registration process step by step,” “JEE Advanced 2026 application date,” and “documents required for JEE application” reflect the high intent among aspirants to stay informed and avoid mistakes during the application.
