Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my QR code or barcode is blurry on my JEE Main 2026 Admit Card?

You must ensure that both the QR code and barcode are perfectly clear. If they are blurry, try downloading the PDF file again and using a high-quality printer to print a fresh copy. Presentation of an illegible barcode can cause issues during identity verification at the examination center.
