Missing JEE Main 2026 session 1 does not disqualify a candidate from the exam altogether. Many students prefer appearing only in JEE Main session 2 for better preparation, board exam alignment, or logistical comfort. The scores from either attempt or the best of the two will be considered for admission to NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and eligibility for JEE Advanced.
