JEE Main 2027 Registration Advisory: DigiLocker Re-KYC, Class 10 Details and How to Apply

Before you fill your Session 1 form, check your identity details. Here is what NTA’s new advisory means and how to prepare for a smoother application.

The National Testing Agency has issued fresh guidance for students applying for JEE Main 2027 Session 1. The advisory focuses on identity verification and the accuracy of personal information—details worth checking before rushing through the form.

This guide explains the notice, separates the regular deadline from the late-fee period, and gives you a practical review checklist. For broader eligibility and fee information, see our JEE Main 2027 registration guide.

JEE Main 2027 Session 1: Important registration dates

Plan to finish during the regular window. Treat the extra days as a fallback, rather than leaving verification and payment until the final evening.

Three instructions candidates should understand

1. Use your own digital identity account

When signing in through the identity services named in the advisory, use credentials belonging to you. NTA links this advice to avoiding identity and biometric discrepancies at later stages. A parent can help you review the form, but their identity account should not replace yours.

2. Complete DigiLocker Re-KYC before the form

NTA recommends Re-KYC so the registration process can fetch your latest details. Open the official advisory linked above and follow its linked Re-KYC procedure. Use DigiLocker’s official website or app, complete the verification prompts, and inspect the information returned before continuing.

3. Compare your name and date of birth carefully

Use your Class 10 certificate or marksheet as the reference specified by NTA. Read the complete name and date rather than relying on memory or assuming that automatically filled fields are correct.

A practical checklist before you start

The following are College Dostana’s preparation tips, not additional NTA eligibility rules:

• Keep a reference folder: Put the records you will consult in one place, so you can compare entries without switching between scattered messages and screenshots.
• Review on a clear screen: Zoom in on names and dates. A quick visual check can miss a transposed digit or an omitted part of a name.
• Keep account access ready: Make sure you can receive verification messages and access the email address you intend to monitor.
• Leave time for help: If a record looks wrong, note the exact field and the error message before contacting support.
• Protect your login: Enter passwords and OTPs yourself. Do not place screenshots containing personal identifiers in public groups.

How to apply for JEE Main 2027 Session 1

1. Start at the official website: Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in and open the Session 1 application link.
2. Read the instructions: Review the 2027 Information Bulletin and the identity advisory.
3. Register and retain your details: Follow the portal’s registration flow and save your application number securely.
4. Complete the form: Enter the requested personal, academic and examination information, checking every section.
5. Provide the required files: Follow the current portal’s document and upload specifications.
6. Review and pay: Check the completed entries before final submission and pay the fee applicable to your selections.
7. Save the confirmation: Download the confirmation page and keep the payment record for reference.

What if DigiLocker or the application shows a mismatch?

First identify where the difference appears: the school record, your digital identity information, or the application itself. Write down the exact discrepancy. A clear description is more useful to a helpdesk than simply saying that registration is not working.

For DigiLocker account or document-access problems, use the official DigiLocker helpdesk. For the JEE application, NTA lists jeemain@nta.ac.in and telephone numbers 011-40759000 / 011-69227700 in its application notice.

Before you close the application tab

Take a few minutes for a final review. Is the application number saved? Can you reopen the confirmation page? Have you kept the payment record somewhere easy to find? Set a reminder to revisit official notices instead of relying on forwarded messages.

Once your application is organised, return to preparation with our IIT JEE previous year question papers. Try a timed paper, record mistakes and revisit the concepts that need attention.
