Hello aspirant,

Yes, you may get a chance to correct the photograph, but only if the National Testing Agency (NTA) identifies your photo as having a discrepancy. Since JEE Main requires a clear passport-size photo with a white background , any photo that does not follow this guideline may be flagged by NTA.

In previous years, NTA has sent email/SMS alerts to candidates whose photos did not meet the required specifications. Those candidates were given a short correction window to re-upload a proper photograph.

What you should do now:

• Keep checking your registered email and mobile number regularly for any correction-related messages from NTA.

  Recommended

• Prepare a correct photograph in advance (white background, clear face visibility, correct size and format).

• Keep an eye on the official JEE Main website for updates regarding the correction window.

If your photo is flagged, NTA will definitely allow you to upload a corrected version within the allotted time.

All the best!

Hello,

Yes, you may get a chance to correct it.
NTA usually opens a correction window before each session. In previous years, candidates were allowed to change their photo if it did not follow the guidelines, including background issues.

For JEE Main 2026 also, the correction window is expected. When it opens, you will be able to upload a proper photo with a plain white background.

What you should do now:

• Keep checking your JEE Main login for any correction option.

• Keep a correct photo ready (white background, clear image).

• If NTA flags your photo, you can update it during the correction period.

So yes, you should get a chance to fix it once the correction window opens.

Hope it helps !

Candidates whose photos are at fault in the JEE Main 2026 registration, will be notified and they will get a time frame in which they can correct it. If the candidate is not notified then the photo has been accepted. The correction window allows changes in the photograph and signature both for the candidates.
