Sources: 12. Developments: 4. 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. Further details confirm that Session 2 registration is slated to run from January 5 to February 3, 2027, with examinations held from April 2 to April 7, 2027. The exam includes Paper 1 for B.E. and B.Tech. programmes, Paper 2A for B.Arch. programmes, and Paper 2B for B.Planning programmes. To assist candidates, the NTA has established a 24/7 toll-free helpline (1800-180-474) and a help desk (011-69227700) operating from 8 am to 10 pm. The agency has also cautioned students against sharing passwords or one-time passwords (OTPs) with anyone. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: National Testing Agency announces JEE Main 2027 details and helplines The NTA has announced the JEE Main 2027 schedule, including Session 1 exam dates in January 2027 and Session 2 in April 2027, alongside new 24/7 helpline support for students. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/national-testing-agency-announces-jee-main-2027-details-and-helplines ### 2026-10-24: National Testing Agency revises 2026–27 examination calendar The National Testing Agency has updated its 2026–27 exam calendar, revising dates for JEE Main, UGC NET, and CUET PG due to administrative reasons. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/national-testing-agency-opens-jee-main-2027-registration ### 2026-10-14: JEE Main 2027 registration expected to begin in late October JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration is expected to start in late October 2026, with exams tentatively scheduled for late January 2027.
