Let me be direct: the JEE Main race begins with the application form. NTA released its official Public Notice on 24 October 2026, and the Session 1 form is now open. There is still time before the paper, but not much time for the form.

Every year, some well-prepared students run into trouble on the last day: the website slows down, the payment fails, or the photograph is rejected. This article will help you avoid all of that.

⚠️ 5 mistakes that cost students dearly

Filling two forms. NTA's rule is clear: only one application per candidate. Action can be taken against multiple forms, even at a later stage.

Giving the cyber café's number. NTA sends every update to the registered mobile and email. Use only your own or your parents' details.

Waiting for the last day. On the night of 22 November the website is at its slowest. Fill the form this week, calmly.

A blurry photo or a careless signature. A small thing can hold up the whole form. Zoom in and check before uploading.

Not saving the confirmation page. After paying the fee, download the confirmation page and keep a screenshot of the payment.
