The National Testing Agency (NTA) is gearing up to commence the JEE Mains 2026 registration process, expected to begin in October 2025. Aspiring engineering students can look forward to applying for the Joint Entrance Examination through the official NTA JEE website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. This year’s JEE Mains will be conducted across two sessions: Session 1 is scheduled from January 21 to 30, 2026, followed by Session 2 from April 1 to 10, 2026.
The JEE (Main) exam is designed to assess candidates for admission to undergraduate engineering programs (B.E. / B. Tech.) at prestigious institutions like NITs, IIITs, and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). It also serves as an eligibility test for the JEE (Advanced) exam, which is the gateway to the IITs. For those interested in architecture and planning courses, Paper 2 of JEE (Main) is the relevant examination.
