The JEE Main 2026 application form window for Session one will close on November twenty-seven, as confirmed by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The registration process is active on the official portal, and candidates are required to complete the form, upload documents, and pay the fee before the deadline. NTA is unlikely to extend the last date, based on previous-year trends. This year’s application cycle brings a set of new verification and security protocols aimed at simplifying identity checks and reducing errors.
