NTA advisory for JEE Main 2027 candidates: Use DigiLocker or e-Pramaan login
The Story in Brief
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an advisory for candidates applying for JEE Main 2027, asking them to log in using their DigiLocker account, JanParichay or e-Pramaan credentials. The authority said this will prevent discrepancies in identity verification and biometric data during the application process.
Candidates have been advised to complete re-KYC through DigiLocker before filling out the form so that their latest details are auto-fetched. The NTA cautioned that the name and date of birth in the application must match the Class 10 certificate or marksheet.
The online application process closes on 26 November, with a correction window from 27 to 29 November. Session 1 of JEE Main 2027 will be held from 20 to 24 January and on 28 January 2027. City intimation slips will be released on 30 December and admit cards on 13 January.
Indian Opinion Analysis
With over a month left for the JEE Main 2027 session 1 application deadline on 26 November, the NTA’s advisory on DigiLocker and e-Pramaan login targets a recurring problem: mismatched biometric and identity data that derails candidates late in the process. By tying pre-registration re-KYC to the application form, the agency shifts the burden of verification back to the applicant before submission. The real test of this measure will be the number of applications rejected for data mismatch after the correction window closes on 29 November.
