JEE Main is a highly prestigious engineering entrance exam in India, acting as a key to gain admission into such high-grade institutions like the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other centrally funded technical institutes. It also serves as a screening test for JEE Advanced, which decides admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). In view of the competitiveness of the examination, students are encouraged to heed the application procedure and submit their forms in good time before the deadline.

Once registration is over, the NTA will offer time to candidates for correcting their filed application forms. The window to correct the forms will be operational from February 27 to 28 until 11.50 pm. All through this window, applicants have the facility of editing certain portions of their forms so that the information provided is correct before submission. Personal information errors, selection of category, or uploading files can be corrected within the designated time.

The JEE Main 2025 Session 2 exam will be conducted from April 1 to 8. As the exam date is near, registered candidates will be issued their admit cards three days prior to their respective exam dates. The admit cards will be downloadable from the official website and should be brought to the examination center, as they are a necessary document for admission.
