NTA Updates JEE Main 2027 Registration: Passport Accepted as ID, Fresh Applications Allowed
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has updated the JEE Main 2027 registration process, allowing candidates to use passports as valid ID proof, especially benefiting Non-Resident Indian (NRI) students who no longer need an Aadhaar card. The January session is scheduled for multiple dates in January 2027. NTA also introduced a system for candidates to submit fresh applications if errors were made previously and made the MeriPehchaan login mandatory, enabling identity verification via DigiLocker, e-Pramaan, or JanParichay.
