The admit card for JEE Main 2026 Session 2 is expected to be released shortly on the official website of the National Testing Agency (NTA). With the examination scheduled for early April, candidates should stay alert for the latest updates.

Following previous trends, the NTA typically releases admit cards 3 to 5 days before the exam. Since Session 2 is likely to begin on April 2, the hall tickets may be issued in the last week of March. Once available, candidates can download them from the official JEE Main portal.

Importance of the Admit Card

The admit card is an essential document required for entry into the examination hall. It contains important information such as:

• Exam centre address
• Date of examination
• Shift timing and reporting schedule
• Exam-day guidelines

Entry to the exam hall will not be permitted without this document. Candidates should also carefully verify all details and report any errors immediately.

High Participation Expected

JEE Main sees a large number of applicants each year. While official figures for Session 2 in 2026 are not yet available, it is estimated that over 10 lakh candidates may appear, based on recent trends.

In 2025, approximately 12 lakh unique candidates registered across both sessions, with many choosing Session 2 to improve their performance. A similar trend is expected this year, leading to increased competition.
