JEE Main 2027 examination scheduling and registration

Overview

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released a tentative calendar for the JEE Main 2027 Session 1, with examinations scheduled for January 22 to January 30, 2027. This schedule has raised concerns regarding a conflict with state board oral and practical examinations for 10th and 12th grades, which are projected to occur between January 20 and February 6, 2027. Local stakeholders have called for a revision of the schedules to prevent these critical assessments from coinciding.

Registration for Session 1 officially commenced in late October 2026. The standard application window is set to remain open until November 22, 2026, followed by a late application period from November 23 to November 26, 2026, which requires an additional fee of Rs 500. Admit cards are scheduled for release on January 13, 2027, with Session 1 examinations now slated to take place between January 20 and January 28, 2027.

To enhance transparency and prevent fraudulent applications, the NTA has introduced new security measures. These include mandatory identity verification through DigiLocker, MeriPehchaan, or Jan Parichay, as well as live photo capture during the application process. Candidates applying for engineering programs at institutions such as NITs and IIITs must provide various academic and identification documents via the official NTA website. A second session is anticipated to begin registration in February 2027, with examinations likely held in April.
