Details on the admit card

  • Name, roll number and JEE Main application number
  • Photograph and signature
  • Date of birth, correspondence address and category
  • Name and address of the allotted exam centre

What to carry and what to leave

Carry the printed admit card and one original photo ID: Aadhaar, school or college ID, driving licence, voter ID, passport, PAN card or a notarised certificate with photograph. Only pens, pencils and drinking water in a transparent bottle are allowed inside.

Watches, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, health bands, calculators, wallets, eraser, geometry boxes, jewellery with metal and similar items are barred. Wear open footwear. Centres open from 07:00 IST and the gate closes at the paper start time, 09:00 for Paper 1 and 14:30 for Paper 2, with no late entry.

Discrepancies

If any entry is wrong, or you cannot download the card, contact the Chairperson of JEE Advanced at the relevant Zonal Coordinating IIT immediately. The AAT has no separate admit card; print and carry the same JEE Advanced card with your original ID.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enter the centre without an ID?

No. The admit card printout and an original photo ID are both mandatory, and the brochure says candidates without them will not be allowed to appear.
