The National Testing Agency (NTA) is set to commence the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main Session 2 from tomorrow, April 2, 2025.

Important Reporting Time and Identity Verification
Candidates should report to the exam centre at least two hours before the scheduled exam time. This precaution helps avoid any last-minute rush due to traffic or transportation delays, ensuring you don’t miss crucial instructions. Remember, the JEE Main admit card is your key to entry. You must present the same photo ID as uploaded during the application process, matching the details on your admit card. Strict adherence to the dress code and the instructions printed on your admit card is mandatory.
Exam Hall Guidelines and Conduct
Each candidate will be assigned a specific seat with a roll number. Changing seats is strictly prohibited and can lead to disqualification. Before starting, verify that the question paper displayed on your computer screen corresponds to your chosen subject. Any discrepancies should be immediately reported to the invigilator.
