The National Testing Agency has outlined the procedure for candidates whose JEE Main scorecards are lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed. Instead of contacting the NTA directly for a fresh copy, students can first check if their scorecard is available on DigiLocker, the government's digital document wallet, which stores an authentic copy issued at the time of results. If not present in DigiLocker, candidates must submit a grievance through the NTA's online portal, paying a fee, to request a duplicate.
The duplicate scorecard, once processed by the NTA, will be uploaded to the candidate's DigiLocker account, from where it can be downloaded or printed. Students facing technical issues with DigiLocker or the grievance portal are advised to reach the NTA helpdesk by phone or email. The agency has not specified a processing time but says it will issue the scorecard after verifying the application.
Indian Opinion Analysis
A JEE Main scorecard is more than just a mark sheet: admission to NITs, IIITs, and CFTIs depends on it, making a lost or damaged copy a real problem for lakhs of students. Under the National Testing Agency's own guidelines, candidates are expected to safeguard the scorecard since no re-issuance was allowed beyond the original download window. This change marks a departure from earlier years when NTA itself provided a direct duplicate link, the burden has now shifted to DigiLocker, a government-backed digital locker service that any Indian with a mobile number can access. DigiLocker records are considered legally valid under the Information Technology Act, 2000, but students should act fast, once the NTA's display window for old scorecards closes, the only route is the fee-based grievance mechanism. Separately, for any printing or glitch issue, the NTA helpdesk remains the final recourse before the admission cycle closes.
