The only official source for dates, registration, admit-cards, answer keys and results is the website: jeeadv.ac.in.
Why the Date Isn’t Confirmed Yet?
The JEE Advanced 2026 exam is high-stakes for admission into IITs; hence, precision in scheduling is crucial. Sources indicate that formal notification may come by December 2025. Until the notification appears on the official website, the JEE Advanced 2026 exam date, JEE Advanced 2026 admit card and other important dates remain tentative.
What Aspirants Should Do in the Countdown
In the remaining months, candidates should:
- Verify eligibility: only those who qualify for JEE Main 2026 and rank among the top 2,50,000 (all categories) will be eligible to register for JEE Advanced 2026.
- Monitor the official website for registration start date and fee payment deadlines.
- Be ready to download the admit card as soon as it becomes available.
- Keep past years’ papers and mock tests handy to practice for both Paper 1 and Paper 2.
- Along with mock practice, candidates should carefully go through the JEE Advanced 2026 syllabus, important topics and subject-wise weightage to prioritise high-scoring areas and strengthen conceptual understanding.
- Watch for the day count and ensure the schedule (travel, exam centre, documents) is ready ahead of time.
