JEE Main isn’t only about preparation,it’s also about perfect execution on exam day. And your JEE Main Hall Ticket (Admit Card) is the one document that decides whether you’ll be allowed inside the exam centre.
This blog covers everything you need to know about JEE Main Hall Ticket 2026 — expected release timeline, how to download, what details to verify, what to carry, what not to carry, dress code, and the most common mistakes students make (so you don’t repeat them).

Expected release window: 3–4 days before your exam date (session-wise).
Important: Admit cards are usually released close to the exam window. So don’t panic if it’s not visible weeks in advance, keep checking during the final days before your shift.
Note: Exact admit card timing depends on the official portal release. The safe expectation is “3–4 days before your shift”.
| Session | JEE Main Exam Window | Hall Ticket Release (Expected) |
| Session 1 | January 2026 | 3–4 days before your exam date |
| Session 2 | April 2026 | 3–4 days before your exam date |
Key Note: The admit card may appear shift-wise. Some students see it earlier depending on the exam day.
