How Are JEE Main 2026 Exam Centres Allotted?
The JEE Main 2026 exam centres are distributed entirely at random. The procedure is first-come, first-served. The candidate may select four favourite cities, ranked from most to least favoured, when completing the application procedure.
The exam centre is assigned based on the number of seats available at that time. The next chosen city is assigned if there are no seats available in the first preferred city. Candidates are unable to switch the exam location once it has been assigned.

How Can I Pick the Best JEE Main 2026 Exam Centre?
A major factor in lowering anxiety on exam day is selecting the appropriate exam centre. To minimize last-minute problems, students are encouraged to select the exam centre based on the most recent JEE Main exam centre list that is closest to their city.
When filling out the form, candidates have the option to choose four cities. When selecting the best exam location for JEE Main 2026, students should take into account the following factors:
-
Proximity to home: To cut down on lengthy trips, pick a centre that is close to your house.
-
Accessibility and ease of travel: Pick a city with convenient transportation options and travel routes.
-
Choose the city of your choice: Examine the NTA's list of exam centres and select the preferred city in advance. You must refrain from selecting the exam centre at the last minute since doing so may result in poor decisions.
-
Choose well-known cities: Select the other three cities that you are familiar with in addition to your first choice.
How Can I View the JEE Main 2026 Exam Centre?
By doing the following, you can find your JEE Mains 2026 exam centre:
-
Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in, the official JEE Main 2026 website.
-
Click the "JEE Main Admit Card 2026" link.
-
Enter your date of birth and application number as needed.
-
Open your JEE Main Admit Card after downloading it.
-
Look for the address and information of the JEE Mains exam location that you have been assigned on your JEE Main admit card.
This procedure will assist you in determining the precise location of your JEE Main 2026 examination centre.
Can My JEE Main 2026 Exam Centre Be Changed?
-
Only during the JEE Main application form correction session in 2026 were candidates permitted to modify their preferred exam centre.
-
Exam centre modifications are not allowed once the NTA distributes the JEE city notification slip.
-
The designated exam centre is final and cannot be changed after the city slip is provided.
Crucial NTA Regulations Concerning JEE Main 2026 Exam Centres
On the day of the exam, students must adhere to the explicit instructions provided by NTA regarding the JEE Main 2026 exam centres. Students must adhere to and take care of the following rules:
-
The exam centres are distributed by NTA on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, when it comes to assigning the exam centres that the candidates have selected, there is no injustice.
-
After completing the registration process, candidates will not be permitted to switch exam centres. They have the option to switch the test location during the corrective timeframe.
-
Candidates need to bring a printed copy of their JEE Main admit card, passport-sized photos, a valid form of identification, and other documents to the exam centres.
-
One to two hours before the exam shift, candidates must arrive at the testing location. Students are therefore urged to consider this when making travel arrangements.
To obtain the most recent information about exam centres and exam specifics, applicants are advised to keep informed and frequently visit the official NTA website.
