Filled JEE Mains Form with Incomplete Name and Incorrect Address: Will it Cause Trouble?

Ans: Please don't worry. 1) If you want to talk about the mistakes you made, please email the NTA Query Redressal System (QRS) or call the number given. You can just type "NTA Query Redressal System (QRS)" into Google to get the email address and phone number. The email addresses and phone numbers can be found by clicking on the first hit. When you send the email, make sure the subject line has your name and the application number that is on your 10th certificate. Keep your email as proof that you told NTA ahead of time about the mistakes you made on the application form.

2) The NTA will also open the CORRECTION window for two days in the first or second week of December 2025. Sign in to your account on the NTA site and check it often. You are empowered to fix the mistake you made.

2) Some applicants have different names (prefixes and suffixes) on their Birth Certificate, School Certificate, and Aadhar. This will make it very hard for them to fill out the application form and also when they go to the college to finish the admissions process.

3) This is my general advice to everyone who wants to take the JEE (Main) or any other entrance exam: Please check that your name is the same on all three documents: your birth certificate, your Aadhar card, and your 10th grade certificate. It's easy to change your name in Aadhar (based on your 10th grade certificate) because the process only takes one month. Please make sure that none of your names are the same (except for Passport), because the department that issues passports has its own rules about how names should be written. But please make sure that your name is exactly the same on the JEE application, the 10th grade certificate, and your Aadhar card.

I hope this answer clears up your question. Just Focus on your Preparation. All the BEST for your JEE-Main 2025.

Ans: No need to panic. It usually does not cause a problem during JoSAA or CSAB counselling or even in JEE Advanced

Ans: Having different name formats in your JEE Main form, Aadhaar, and caste certificate may cause verification issues during UPTAC, JoSAA, or CSAB counselling. While NTA allows some flexibility if your JEE form matches your Aadhaar and academic certificates, your SC caste certificate should ideally have the same name as your 10th and 12th marksheets. To avoid problems, try to update your caste certificate to match your academic documents before counselling. If that’s not possible, be ready to provide an undertaking and seek guidance from the admitting institute during document verification to ensure smooth admission.
