- Log in with your application number and password (or date of birth), then enter the security pin shown.
- Check every detail on the admit card: name, photo, paper, exam date, shift and centre address.
- Make sure the QR code and barcode appear on the admit card.
- Download the PDF along with the self-declaration (undertaking) page and print it clearly on A4 paper.
NTA releases admit cards in batches by exam date, about 3 to 4 days before each date; in 2026 the first Session 1 batch came out on 17 January 2026, four days before the exam. If you cannot download it, call the NTA helpline on 011-40759000.
What is the JEE Main 2027 city intimation slip?
The city intimation slip tells you only the city of your exam centre, about two weeks ahead, so you can plan travel; it is not the admit card. The 2027 Session 1 slip is due on 30 December 2026; in 2026 it came out on 8 January.
What details are printed on the JEE Main admit card?
- Your name, photograph and signature
- Application number and roll number
- Paper you will take (Paper 1, 2A, 2B or both 2A and 2B)
- Exam date, shift and timing
- Reporting and gate closing time
- Exam centre name and full address
- Exam-day instructions and the self-declaration form
If any detail is wrong, contact NTA at once. NTA lets you take the exam with the downloaded admit card and corrects its records later.
What documents should I carry to the JEE Main exam centre?
- A clear A4 printout of the admit card with the self-declaration filled in
- One passport-size photo, the same as in your application, to paste on the attendance sheet
- One original, valid photo ID: school ID, PAN card, voter ID, passport, Aadhaar or e-Aadhaar with photo, Class 12 board admit card with photo, or bank passbook with photo
- PwD/PwBD certificate, if you are claiming that relaxation
- A simple transparent ball point pen
Without the admit card and a valid photo ID you will not be allowed to sit the exam.
