What is JEE Main Form Correction?

JEE Main form correction is a limited-time facility provided by NTA that allows registered candidates to edit specific details in their submitted application form.

Why it matters:

• Your application details are used for admit card generation
• Your category details affect eligibility and reservation benefits
• Your exam city preference impacts travel, logistics, and comfort
• Wrong uploads can create issues during later verification

Who Should Use the Correction Window Immediately?

Use the correction window if you notice any of these:

• Spelling mismatch in name (compared with Class 10 certificate)
• Wrong category / sub-category (OBC-NCL / EWS / SC / ST / PwD)
• Wrong exam paper selection (Paper 1 / Paper 2)
• Incorrect academic details (school/board/year fields)
• Issues with photo/signature upload (blur, wrong format, unclear image)
• Incorrect exam city preferences (if portal allows edits)

If everything is correct—don’t edit randomly. Unnecessary changes can create new errors.

Step-by-Step: How to Do JEE Main 2026 Form Correction (Session 1)

Step 1: Login to the official portal

Use your application number + password to log in.

Step 2: Find the “Correction” / “Edit Application” section

Inside your dashboard, NTA will show the correction option only during the active window (01–02 Dec 2025 up to 11:50 PM).

Step 3: Verify through OTP (if prompted)

Some candidates may see OTP verification for security.

Step 4: Edit only the allowed fields

You will only be able to change fields that NTA enables.

Step 5: Submit and pay fee difference (if applicable)

If the change impacts the fee, pay the additional amount (if any).

Step 6: Download the updated confirmation page

What Fields Can You Edit? (Simple Truth)

During correction, everything is not editable. Only the fields enabled in your login dashboard can be changed.

Also, as per the notice/annexure: some items like mobile number, email, address details, emergency contact, and candidate photograph are not allowed to be changed.

Fee Rules During Correction (Very Important)

• If your edit increases the fee: pay the difference.
• If your edit reduces the fee: fee is not reimbursed.
