JEE Main 2027 Registration: Where Things Stand
JEE Main 2027 Registration Updates: The JEE Main 2027 registration for Session 1 has not opened yet in the reports reviewed as of October 21, 2026. A live update from the same morning describes the application form as coming soon and the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not confirmed the registration dates in the sources I found.
JEE Main 2027 Registration Live updates: What is reported is this: the Session 1 exam is scheduled for January 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30, 2027, with January 31, 2027 as a buffer date. Media reports expect the application form to be released by the end of October 2026 based on past trends. That is an estimate not an announcement.
This article gathers the expected timeline fees eligibility documents the step by step process and a checklist so you can apply the moment the link goes live.
Important: Several figures below such as fees and exam pattern are based on the previous cycle and on media reports. The official information bulletin on jeemain.nta.nic.in will be the final source.

JEE Main 2027 Registration Date What History Suggests
NTA has not announced the registration date. The reports reviewed use past trends to estimate the likely window:
| Year | Session 1 Registration Opened as reported |
|---|---|
| 2023 | November 1 |
| 2024 | October 28 |
| 2025 | October 31 |
Based on this, the form for 2027 is expected in the last week of October 2026 possibly a few days either side. Treat this as a guide only.
Conflicting reports: One page says registration is expected in October 2026 in one place and October 2027 in another. The 2027 reference appears to be a typo, because the exam itself is in January 2027.

JEE Main 2027 Application Fee
NTA has not published the 2027 fee. The reports reviewed list last year’s structure as a guide
| Category | Fee reported, last cycle |
|---|---|
| General (Unreserved) male | ₹1,000 |
| General-EWS / OBC male | ₹900 |

| SC / ST / PwD / Transgender | ₹500 |
One source also lists higher fees for centres outside India ₹5,000 for males and ₹4,000 for females in the General category. Treat all these figures as provisional until the 2027 bulletin is published. The fee is generally paid online and covers the session you apply for.

JEE Main 2027 Eligibility Criteria Expected
The official 2027 brochure will confirm the rules. Based on the reports reviewed
- Qualifying exam: Candidates who passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026, or who are appearing in 2027.
- B.E./B.Tech (Paper 1): Physics and Mathematics are compulsory plus one of Chemistry Biotechnology, Biology or a technical vocational subject.
- Attempts: The sources reviewed do not state any attempt limit. Check the bulletin.
Important clarification: A figure you may see online, 75% marks in Class 12 65% for SC/ST applies to admission to NITs, IIITs and other CFTIs not to the eligibility to sit JEE Main. Keep the two separate.
Documents to Keep Ready Before You Apply
- Aadhaar or another valid ID some pages say Aadhaar or DigiLocker verification may be used others say ID is required only if you opt out, so follow the bulletin
- Class 10 certificate and marksheet
- Class 12 details marksheet or roll number, as applicable
- Passport-size photograph and signature in the prescribed format
- Category certificate SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS if applicable
- PwD / UDID certificate, if applicable
- A valid mobile number and email ID use your own since OTPs and updates go there
- Fee payment details net banking, card or UPI
Tip: Scan your photo and signature now and check them against the size and format rules in the bulletin once it is out. Rejected uploads are among the most common application problems.

How to Register for JEE Main 2027 Step-by-Step

- Create your account with a valid mobile number and email ID and note the credentials.
- Fill in the application form with personal academic and category details.
- Choose your papers exam cities and any options the form offers.
- Upload your photograph signature and documents.

JEE Main 2027 Exam Pattern As Reported
| Particulars | Details |
|---|---|
| Mode | Computer-Based Test |
| Subjects | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics based on NCERT Class 11 and 12 syllabi |
| Total Marks | 300 |
| Duration | 3 hours |
| Question Types | Multiple Choice and Numerical Answer Type |
| Marking | +4 for each correct answer -1 for each wrong MCQ |
| Shifts | Morning and afternoon as reported |
Points to verify:
- Shift timings differ across sources. Most say 9 AM to 12 noon and 2 PM to 5 PM while one table says 3 PM to 6 PM for the second shift. Your admit card gives the final shift.
- Drawing test: One page lists a drawing test two questions 100 marks under B.E./B.Tech. That test is normally linked to B.Arch Paper 2A so it is probably an error. Confirm in the bulletin.
- The bulletin will confirm the syllabus marking scheme and any change in the number of questions.

Session 1 or Session 2 Which Should You Apply For?
JEE Main is held twice a year and you can apply for one or both sessions. The best score is normally used for ranking according to NTA’s usual practice but confirm this in the 2027 bulletin.
- Apply for Session 1 if your preparation is on track since it gives you a second chance in Session 2.
- Apply for both if you want to improve a score.
- Skipping Session 1 is risky. Session 2 registration is expected only from the last week of January 2027, and its dates are not announced so you would lose the chance to attempt twice.
What to Do Before the Form Is Out
- Download the previous year’s bulletin to understand the structure then compare it with the 2027 version when it is out.
- Prepare your documents and scans as listed above.
- Create a dedicated email ID and keep your phone number active as all communication goes there.
- Practise full length mock tests in CBT mode with a 3-hour timer.
- Revise by weightage focusing on high-scoring chapters in each subject.
- Follow only the official website for dates and ignore unverified social media posts.
Common Registration Mistakes to Avoid
- Waiting for the last day. Servers get slow near the deadline.
- Using someone else’s phone number or email which can cause missed updates.
- Uploading wrong-size photos or signatures which can lead to rejection.
- Choosing the wrong category or submitting an outdated certificate.
- Paying through unofficial links. Pay only on the NTA portal.
- Ignoring the correction window when it is announced.
