JEE Main 2026: The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued an important notice for students preparing for the JEE Main 2026. In an order sent to all affiliated schools, the CBSE Board has stated that students preparing for the JEE Main January and April sessions should be provided with their 11th-grade registration numbers as soon as possible. This will facilitate students' ease in filling out the NTA JEE Main 2026 application form.

This directive is specifically for candidates currently in 12th grade and will be appearing for the JEE Main exam for the first time. Last year, it was observed that many students were delayed in completing their forms due to not receiving their registration numbers. The CBSE is working to ensure that students complete their applications on time. The registration number serves as a student identification card. This ensures that student data is accurately received by the NTA, preventing any errors later.

CBSE Schools Directive
CBSE has issued an official circular to the principals of all affiliated schools. Schools must ensure that Class 11th registration numbers are promptly made available to all students planning to apply for JEE Main 2025. Students are required to enter their Class 11th registration details when filling out the JEE Main 2026 online application form. Without these, filling out the NTA JEE Main form may be difficult.

Why is the registration number mandatory on the JEE Main form?

Entering the Class 11th registration number in the JEE Main 2026 application form is mandatory. This allows the NTA to verify the student's academic record directly with the CBSE database. This also ensures the correct identity of the applicant and prevents fraudulent applications. This helps make the entire application process more streamlined and error-free, and also reduces the time required for document verification.

What should students do?

JEE Main 2026 candidates are advised to contact their school for their registration number. Students who do not yet have their 11th-grade registration number should obtain it immediately by contacting their school administration or class teacher. In addition to the registration number, candidates should also have other necessary documents ready, such as Aadhaar card details, a scanned photo, and a signature.
