The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued an official clarification on the use of a virtual or on-screen calculator for JEE Main 2026. The clarification follows confusion caused by a typing mistake in the Information Bulletin published on 31 October on the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. JEE Main 2026 will be held in two sessions, in January and April next year.

Last week, the agency released a notice stating that candidates would be able to use an on-screen calculator during the computer-based exam. However, a correction was issued on Sunday night confirming that this information was incorrect and the result of a typographical error.

The NTA explained that the on-screen calculator feature exists on its general testing platform, but it will not be provided during JEE Main.
