The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2022 was conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) in two sessions—June and July. This page provides historical information and archived details regarding the JEE Mains 2022 Admit Card release and download process for students and researchers.
Please note that the NTA has deactivated the 2022 download portals. For the current session (2025), please visit our main JEE Admit Card section. This section is for reference to the 2022 academic cycle.
In 2022, to provide flexibility to students, the NTA conducted the JEE Mains in two major shifts. Session 1 took place in June, while Session 2 was scheduled for late July. Separate admit cards were issued for each session. Candidates who appeared for both sessions received two different hall tickets with potentially different center locations.
The JEE Main 2022 Admit Card was the primary identification document for entering the Computer Based Test (CBT) centers. NTA utilized high-end proctoring and biometric verification, making the admit card a critical component of the security infrastructure during the exams.
Historically, candidates followed these steps to access their NTA hall tickets from the official portal (jeemain.nta.nic.in):
Candidates logged in using their unique application number and their date of birth as a password. This was the most common method.
Candidates who remembered their custom password set during registration could use it along with their application ID.
The JEE Main Admit Card in 2022 was a multi-page PDF document containing:
The 2022 exams were conducted with significant safety protocols. Candidates were required to carry specific items to every attempt:
| Mandatory Item | Special Instructions |
|---|---|
| Admit Card Printout | Must include the signed Self-Declaration Form (Undertaking). |
| Photo ID | Original photo identity proof (Aadhar preferred). |
| Passport Photo | One photo for the attendance sheet at the center. |
| Water Bottle | Transparent bottle allowed inside the CBT hall. |
In 2022, many students faced issues with forgotten application numbers. The NTA provided a retrieval system where candidates entered their name, father's name, mother's name, and date of birth to recover their IDs. This was crucial for accessing the admit card and checking the final percentile results.
Candidates were advised to take multiple printouts of their admit cards and keep them until the entire JoSAA/CSAB counseling process was over, as the hall ticket was often required during document verification at reporting centers.
Yes, Session 2 (July) required a completely new admit card, even if the center was the same as Session 1.
Candidates had to contact the NTA helpline immediately. In 2022, NTA had a dedicated correction window just before the exam for such issues.
