Hello,

The school name where Class 10 and 12 studies were undertaken is solicited even though roll numbers have been provided in the JEE Main application form, primarily with the intent of cross-verifying academic details obtained.

1. It is used in verification and authentication purposes to cross-check the details submitted in the application form with original documents such as mark sheets and certificates.
2. Counselling and Admission Process: The counsellors cross-check the academic background and documents along with school details during counselling.
3. Confidentiality and Security: School names provided enable integrity of the data and safe handling of the candidate's data at the admissions and counseling stages.

This information is vital in instances such as-

• Verification of eligibility criteria in the counseling process.
• Merit list determination.
• Settlement of disputes related to academic records at the admission stage.
