Aspiring engineers preparing for the JEE Main 2025 exam are urged by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to ensure consistency in their names across all official documents, particularly their Aadhaar cards and school records. The NTA has released this advisory to prevent potential complications arising from name discrepancies during the JEE Main exam or subsequent admission processes.
The NTA cautions that inconsistencies in names between an applicant's Aadhaar card and other official records, such as school documents, could lead to difficulties at multiple stages, including the JEE Main examination and admissions. To mitigate this risk, the NTA advises applicants to carefully cross-check that their names appear the same on the Aadhaar card, school records, government-issued ID proofs, and the JEE Main application form.
The advisory outlines a few essential steps for applicants to resolve name-related issues. First, candidates must use the UIDAI website (uidai.gov.in) to update their Aadhaar details. Once their Aadhaar card name is corrected, applicants should ensure their school records reflect this updated information, creating consistency across these critical documents. In addition, applicants must verify their names are correctly listed on their JEE Main application form before submitting it.
The NTA has established a help desk to support students who may have questions or face challenges regarding the advisory. Applicants can reach the NTA through their helpline at 011-40759000 or email at
The application window for JEE Main 2025 is tentatively set for December 2024, with exams anticipated to take place in January or February 2025. Given this timeline, candidates are encouraged to review and resolve any name inconsistencies before the application begins. With this advisory, the NTA aims to streamline JEE Main candidates' application and admission process and ensure they avoid avoidable complications due to documentation discrepancies.
