Step-by-Step JAC Delhi 2026 Registration Process
Go to the Official Website
The first step in the JAC Delhi 2026 admission process is to go to the official website (jacdelhi.admissions.nic.in) and find the registration form; do not use any third-party sites, as the NIC website is the only official website that you can register through.
JEE Main Authentication
Your JEE Main application will be verified by NTA when you enter your Application Number, Name as it appears on your JEE admit card, and Date of Birth. If the information does not match information in NTA’s records you will not be able to proceed.
Enter Contact Details & Create Account
The next step is to verify your email address and mobile number after you’ve been authenticated. You will receive OTPs via email and SMS to verify your registration for the JAC Delhi 2026 admission process. You need to create a secure password that you will use to log into your JAC Delhi account (Your application number is your username), and you will also need to set up security questions to help with password retrieval.
Fill the Application Form
To apply, log in to your account using the credentials provided and complete the application in various sections, including:
- Personal Information: includes name, date of birth, gender, and contact information.
- Academic Information: Includes Class XII identifying board numbers, year graduated, and scores on applicable subjects.

Confirm the Application Form
Review every detail carefully before confirming. Once the registration form is confirmed, you cannot edit it through the “Edit Registration” option. Double-check your category, region, email, mobile, and bank account details especially errors here can cause serious problems during seat allotment or refunds.
Pay the Registration Fee
After confirming the form, pay the non-refundable registration-cum-counselling fee of Rs. 1,500/- + transaction charges.
Payment modes accepted:
- Credit card / Debit card / Net banking through the online payment gateway
- Cash at any SBI branch using the SBI Collect e-Challan option (select “payment in cash at SBI branch” during payment mode selection)

Fill Your Choices
After successful fee payment, log back in to fill your choices for seat allotment. You will see a list of all available university-programme combinations based on your eligibility. Select choices one by one in order of your preference and arrange them using the up/down option.
Fill as many choices as possible. There is no penalty for filling more choices. The more choices you fill, the higher your chances of getting a seat and the better your chances of being upgraded in subsequent rounds.
Take Printouts
Once choices are filled and registration is closed, take a printout of:
- Filled choices (after the registration window closes)
- Registration form (signed by you and your parent/guardian)
You will need to submit the signed registration form at the time of physical reporting.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Registration
- Incorrect Category Selection: If you choose the wrong category (i.e. choose OBC instead of general) then your seat will be cancelled when documents are checked at the time of document verification.
- Incorrect Region Selection: If you select “Delhi region” and your school was not in Delhi, your admission will be cancelled when validated.
- Using A Different Person’s Bank Account: Make sure the account being used is yours or that of a close family member. Using someone else’s account will pose issues with refunds.
- Insufficient Number Of Choices: Filling out only five to ten choices can be an expensive mistake. Make sure you fill out all choices available that you are comfortable with.
- Confirming An Incorrect Form: Once you have clicked confirm on the form the form cannot be edited so make sure that you have reviewed your form three times before clicking confirm.
OBC-NCL Certificate – Special Note for 2026
