The urgent question on the minds of aspiring engineers is: When will the JEE Mains admit card for the 2026 Session 2 be released? The answer is that the admit cards will be available 3–4 days prior to the exam, which is scheduled from April 2 to April 9, 2026.
Candidates can download their admit cards from the official portal jeemain.nta.nic.in. This document is crucial as it contains essential information such as the exam date, shift timing, and test center address.
The city intimation slip was released on March 22, 2026, giving candidates an early indication of their exam locations. Over 10 lakh candidates are expected to participate in this highly competitive examination.
The exam will be conducted in two shifts: the morning session from 9 am to 12 noon and the afternoon session from 3 pm to 6 pm. Candidates must ensure they have their application number and date of birth ready to download the admit card.
It is important to note that candidates must carry a valid photo ID along with the admit card to the examination hall. The official live link for downloading the admit card will be activated shortly before the exams.
If candidates encounter difficulties while downloading their admit cards, they should verify their credentials and check their network connectivity. Additionally, the city intimation slip is not required on the exam day.
In January 2026, the JEE Main 2026 session 1 was held, with approximately 13 lakh candidates appearing for the exam. From this pool, around 2.5 lakh candidates are expected to qualify for the JEE Advanced.
As the exam dates draw near, candidates are advised to stay alert for updates regarding the admit card release. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes to the exam format or schedule.
