NTA has asked JEE Main 2027 Session 1 applicants to log in with their own DigiLocker credentials and match name and date of birth with the Class 10 record.

By · Published

JEE Main 2027 Session 1 month: Jan 2027

Key points

  • NTA will hold JEE Main 2027 in two sessions: Session 1 in January 2027 and Session 2 in April 2027.
  • Candidates should log in with their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials, not someone else's.
  • NTA advises doing Re-KYC through DigiLocker before filling the form so that the latest details are fetched.
  • The name and date of birth in the form must match the Class 10 certificate or mark sheet.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has told candidates how to avoid problems while registering for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 Session 1. In a public notice dated 28 October 2026, NTA asked candidates to use their own login credentials, update their DigiLocker KYC first, and make sure their name and date of birth match their Class 10 records.

What the notice says

NTA said it will hold JEE Main 2027 in two sessions. The online application form for Session 1 is now available on the NTA JEE Main website.

The notice gives three instructions to make registration go smoothly:

  • Use your own login. Candidates should log in with their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials. NTA says this avoids mismatches in identity checks and biometric data later in the application process.
  • Do Re-KYC on DigiLocker first. Candidates should complete Re-KYC through DigiLocker before filling the JEE Main 2027 form, so that their latest details are fetched.
  • Match your Class 10 record. The name and date of birth in the application form must be the same as on the Class 10 certificate or mark sheet.
