Further, the NTA emphasized that it will endeavor to ensure the comfort and convenience of all candidates, including those with disabilities (PwD/PwBD), while allocating examination centers for the April session of JEE Main 2026.
The NTA also clarified that if the number of applicants in a particular city is very low, it can combine that city with one or more. The agency’s decision regarding the assignment of cities or test centers will be final and requests for changes will not be accepted in such situations. For international candidates, city preferences will be similarly determined based on your current and permanent addresses.
