How Are JEE Main 2026 Exam Centres Allotted?
The locations of the JEE Main 2026 exam are selected randomly. 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 number of seats available at that moment determines the exam center location. If there are no seats available in the first requested city, the following exam center city is assigned. Once the exam centre location has been assigned, candidates cannot change it.

How Can I Pick the Best JEE Main 2026 Exam Centre?
Choosing the right testing location is crucial to reducing anxiety on test day. Students are advised to choose the exam location based on the most updated JEE Main exam centre list that is closest to their city in order to reduce last-minute issues.
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?
You can locate your JEE Mains 2026 exam centre by doing the following:
-
Go to the official JEE Main 2026 website, jeemain.nta.nic.in.
-
Click the "JEE Main Admit Card 2026" link.
-
If necessary, enter your application number and date of birth.
-
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?
-
Candidates were only allowed to change their desired exam location during the JEE Main application form correction period in 2026.
-
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. The following guidelines must be followed by students:
-
NTA assigns exam locations on a first-come, first-served basis. As a result, there is no injustice when it comes to allocating the exam locations that the candidates have chosen.
-
Candidates will not be allowed to change exam locations once they have finished the registration process. During the correction period, they can choose to change the test site.
-
Passport-sized pictures, a valid form of identity, a printed copy of their JEE Main admission card, and other papers must be brought to the testing locations.
-
Candidates must attend the testing facility one to two hours before the exam shift. Therefore, it is recommended that students take this into account when planning their travels.
Applicants are encouraged to stay informed and often check the official NTA website for the most up-to-date details regarding exam locations and specifics.
