The big moment is here, and students across the country are already refreshing their browsers! The buzz around JEE (Advanced) 2026 just got real as the registration window officially opens. If you’ve cleared JEE (Main), this is your next big step. And yes, the clock is already ticking.

Registration window opens today at 10 am

The Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, better known as IIT Roorkee, has announced that online registration for JEE (Advanced) 2026 begins on April 23 at exactly 10:00 am. Only those who qualified in JEE (Main) 2026 can apply.

But don’t relax just yet. This window will slam shut on May 2 at 11:59 pm. Miss it, and there’s no second chance. Students must complete the entire process online through the official portal without delays.

Fee payment deadline comes two days later

Here’s a twist many forget. Registration alone isn’t enough. Candidates must also pay the application fee to complete the process.

The last date for fee payment is May 4, 11:59 pm. That gives a small buffer after registration closes, but experts say don’t rely on those extra days. Technical issues and payment failures can happen anytime.

Instructions, documents & accuracy matter

Before jumping in, candidates are strongly advised to go through all instructions, eligibility rules, and the official information brochure available on the website.

Every detail matters. From personal information to uploaded documents, everything must be correct and match the required format. Even small mistakes can cause trouble later, so double-checking is not optional.

Help videos & last-minute warning

Feeling confused? Don’t worry, help is already there. Step-by-step guidance videos explaining the registration process are available in the “Resources” section of the official website jeeadv (dot) nic (dot) in.

Still, the biggest advice remains simple: don’t wait till the last moment. Heavy traffic, slow servers, or simple human panic can ruin everything at the end.

Students are also advised to keep checking the official website regularly for updates, announcements, and any changes.
