JEE Main 2027 Registration: NTA Introduces MeriPehchaan Login Facility for Candidates

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has introduced the MeriPehchaan single sign-on facility for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 registration process. The new system allows candidates to access the application process through a government-backed digital identity platform, adding a new step to the registration procedure for one of India’s major engineering entrance examinations. The facility has been introduced to simplify authentication and provide applicants with a common login system for accessing integrated online services. Candidates applying for the January 2027 session must familiarise themselves with the process and complete their applications within the prescribed deadline.

What Is MeriPehchaan?

MeriPehchaan is a single sign-on platform developed under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. It integrates identity services such as DigiLocker, JanParichay, and e-Pramaan, enabling users to access supported digital services through a unified authentication system.

According to the JEE Main 2027 information bulletin, the platform also supports electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) verification through accepted identity documents and verification methods. Depending on the selected service provider and applicable requirements, candidates may be able to verify their identity using Aadhaar, PAN, a driving licence, or APAAR.

The facility is intended to make the initial login and authentication process more convenient. However, candidates must still complete the remaining JEE Main application formalities after accessing the registration portal.

How to Register Through MeriPehchaan for JEE Main 2027

Candidates who do not already have a MeriPehchaan account can begin by visiting the official government portal. They must follow the instructions provided to create an account and complete the necessary verification.

The registration process involves the following steps:

• Visit the portal: Open the official MeriPehchaan website at meripehchaan.gov.in

• Select ‘Register Now’: New users should choose the registration option to begin creating an account

• Choose an identity provider: Select an available service provider, such as DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan

• Enter personal details: Provide the information requested during registration, including details such as name, date of birth and mobile number

• Complete identity verification: Follow the instructions displayed by the selected provider and use an accepted verification method

• Return to the examination website: Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in and follow the instructions to complete the JEE Main 2027 application

Candidates should ensure that their personal details match their official documents. Once the login process is complete, they must enter their academic and other required information, upload the prescribed documents, pay the examination fee, and save the application confirmation page.

Candidates are advised to avoid waiting until the last date to register. They should also keep their login credentials secure and retain the application number, payment confirmation, and submitted form for future reference.
