JEE Advanced 2026 Registration LIVE for Foreign & OCI/PIO Candidates, Deadline May 2

So, if you’re a foreign or OCI/PIO candidate eyeing IITs, the gate is officially open. Not wide open forever, though, more like “enter quickly before it shuts”. 

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee has started JEE Advanced 2026 registrations for foreign nationals and OCI/PIO (F) candidates. The application window is now live on the official portal.

Key Deadline 

• Registration Start: April 2026 (Now Open)
• Last Date to Apply: May 2, 2026

Documents Required (Get These Ready First)

Before you even think of clicking “Apply,” gather these:

• Recent photograph 
• Signature
• Photo ID proof 
• Birth certificate 

Extra stuff depending on category:

• OCI/PIO candidates: OCI/PIO card + passport/certificate
• Foreign candidates: Foreign passport or citizenship proof
• Class 12 marksheet:
  • Optional (first-time 2026 candidates)
  • Mandatory (others)

File size matters here. Upload a 2 MB file where 500 KB is required, and the system will reject it like a strict invigilator.
