-
Accessibility and ease of travel: Select a city with handy routes and modes of transportation.

Select your preferred city: Look out for the NTA's list of exam locations and decide on your favourite city beforehand. You shouldn't choose the exam location at the last minute because you might make bad choices.

After completing the registration process, candidates will not be permitted to switch exam venues. They have the option to switch the test site throughout the corrective time.
-
They must bring passport-sized photos, a legitimate form of identification, a printed copy of their JEE Main entrance card, and other documents to the testing sites.

One to two hours before the exam shift, candidates must arrive at the testing location. It is therefore advised that students consider this while making travel plans
