The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued guidelines to rectify Name Mismatch arising between Class X marksheets and Aadhar cards at the time of JEE Main 2025 registration. Just follow the below instructions.

You encounter an error message "Name Mismatch" while authenticating the Aadhar:

Don't worry. It is a frequent error and NTA has solved this issue.

Close from the pop-up window. Do not click on "ok" or submit the form with the error.

A new window should pop up. This window you can enter your name exactly as is on your Aadhar card.

Enter the name in Aadhar and submit. This would capture both your class 10 marksheet name and the name in Aadhar while making the application.

Some more important things to note:

Double check your Aadhar card: Make sure that you put your name on the form exactly as it appears on the Aadhar card, including any middle names or initials etc.

You won't need to upload any documents: Assuming the names are close enough but different, you don't strictly need to update your class 10 mark sheet or even your Aadhar card either. You can simply fill in both names exactly as they are in the original documents.

Contact NTA: If the above solutions do not help resolve the problem, you will have to contact the NTA Helpdesk. All the contact details are found on the official website of JEE Main.

By following these steps you should be able to clear the name mismatch error and succeed in the online registration for JEE Main 2025.
