The crucial opportunity for candidates to rectify any errors in their JEE Main 2026 Session 1 application forms is drawing to a close. The National Testing Agency (NTA) will shut the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main application correction window today, December 2, 2025, at 11:50 PM. This facility, which was activated on December 1, represents the final chance for registered aspirants to make amendments before the first session of the high-stakes engineering entrance exam.
What Details Can You Still Edit?
Before the deadline passes, applicants have the authority to modify several critical fields in their submission. It is important to note that the correction module is only available to those who successfully submitted their applications before the initial registration deadline closed. The NTA has specified a list of editable entries, which primarily cover academic, demographic, and examination logistics.
The fields open for correction include:
- Candidate's name or father's/mother's name (with the restriction that only one can be altered).
- Date of birth and gender.
- Category, sub-category, and Person with Disability (PwD) status, provided updated certificates are uploaded.
- Academic details from Class 10 and Class 12.
- State code of eligibility.
- Preferred exam city and language medium for the paper.
- Selection of papers, including the option to add new papers.
- Signature or alternate identity particulars for candidates who did not use Aadhaar for registration.
Candidates must be prepared that, depending on the nature of the changes, the NTA may require payment of an additional fee before the revised form can be submitted.
Fields That Remain Locked for Security
To maintain the integrity of the application process and prevent misuse, the NTA has permanently locked certain fields tied to identity verification and communication. Once the initial form is submitted, these details cannot be altered during the correction window or thereafter for Session 1.
The non-editable fields are:
- Mobile Number: Locked as it is the primary channel for OTP-based authentication.
- Email Address: Considered essential for official verification and cannot be changed.
- Permanent and correspondence addresses.
- Emergency contact information.
- The candidate's photograph.
