The National Testing Agency (NTA) has extended the photo verification deadline for JEE Main 2026 candidates until January 15, 2026, due to discrepancies between uploaded photographs and identity proof. Affected candidates are receiving links to upload a certificate via email and must bring a printed copy to the exam center. The JEE Main 2026 Session 1 exam is scheduled from January 21-30, with the city intimation slip to be released soon. This verification is necessary due to issues found during application scrutiny.
