JEE Main 2026: Application Correction Facility for Session 2 to Open on February 27, Announces NTA!

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has provided essential support to JEE candidates because all students who submitted their Session 2 applications now have a brief period to make corrections before their application deadline arrives. The notice published on February 21 2026 establishes important timeframes for the JEE Mains session 2 correction window which allows students to correct their application mistakes during a limited time period. If you have been worried because your application contains a mistake, here is the complete information which you require.

What Are the Correction Window Hours?

The time requirements create an urgent situation. Everyone is worrying about the JEE Mains session 2 correction window date, which will open from February 27 to February 28, 2026 with the portal closing at 11: 50 PM on February 28. NTA has been unambiguous: once the window shuts, no further corrections will be entertained under any circumstances.

Who is eligible to make corrections?

Two categories of candidates can avail the correction facility. First, new Session 2 applicants — those who applied from 1 February to 25 February 2026. Second, dual-session candidates who had applied earlier for Session 1 (from 31 October to 27 November 2025) and later also for Session 2. Both can log in to the individual correction portals with their application number and password at jeemain.nta.nic.in.

What Changes Can You Make?

NTA has provided an extensive list of editable fields to help candidates correct genuine mistakes in their application forms.

• Candidates can modify either their father’s name or mother’s name (only one of the two).
• Category-related corrections are allowed, including:
  • Updating category details
  • Re-uploading the category certificate
  • Editing sub-category (PwD) information
• Candidates can change their exam city preferences.
• The medium of examination can also be modified.
• Students can update their qualification details, including:
  • Class 10 passing year
  • Class 12 passing year
• Applicants can add or modify:
  • Papers
  • Course choices
• Corrections are permitted in:
  • State Code of Eligibility
  • Date of birth
  • Gender
• Non-Aadhaar users can correct:
  • Signature
  • Identity details

Overall, the admission process allows candidates to make corrections in both their personal and academic information.

What Cannot Be Changed?

The five required fields which include your Aadhaar number and mobile number and email ID and uploaded photograph and essential core identifiers will remain locked because they require permanent protection. The information which you provided during your initial registration process cannot be modified at any point in time. You must check these details multiple times before you proceed to make any corrections.

Is There a Fee for Making Corrections?

The majority of corrections can be made without any costs to the user. The one exception to this rule exists because you have to pay an extra correction fee when you switch from a reserved category (SC/ST/PwD/Girls) to General or OBC-NCL category. The correction fee which you need to pay can be settled through online payment methods which include credit card and debit card and net banking and UPI at the time when you submit your corrections.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Corrections

• To begin the process, visit the official JEE Main website which can be found at jeemain.nta.nic.in.
• Click on the link which says “Correction in Application Form” which you can find on the homepage.
