The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the complete schedule of JEE Mains 2027 for both sessions 1 and 2.  JEE Mains 2027 registration has started for the session 1 exam. The application form is available online at jeemain.nta.nic.in, and the last date to apply is November 22, 2027. JEE Mains 2027 session 2 registration will start on January 5.

NTA JEE Mains 2027 Session 1 exam date is January 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 28, 2027. Session 2 exam will be held on April 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2027.

Candidates need to capture their live photo while filling the online JEE Mains 2027 registration form. Check details below:

• To capture a live photograph, candidates should switch on their camera or connect their webcam to the device used for filling the Application Form.
• If the device does not support a webcam, the QR code on the right can be scanned by the candidate using a mobile device/tablet, etc.
• Candidates should ensure there is a light-colored background with proper lighting, and 80% face visibility (including ears, without a mask).

• Candidates must have passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026, or be appearing in 2027. Candidates can appear for three consecutive years from their year of passing Class 12, allowing up to 6 total JEE Main attempts.
• No upper age limit for JEE Main 2027 registration.
• No minimum percentage requirement in Class 12 to appear for the exam (the 75% aggregate in JEE rule does not apply to sit for the test; it applies during admissions to IITs/NITs/IIITs/GFTIs).

While applying for JEE Main exam, candidates need to upload the below documents:

No, candidates cannot apply for both Session 1 and Session 2 together in a single application window. NTA re-opens a separate application window later. The Session 2 registration will be held from January 5 to February 3.

Candidates who want to appear for Session 2 can log in using their existing Application Number and pay the fee for the second attempt.  Candidates who choose to skip Session 1 can instead register exclusively when the Session 2 application window opens.

Candidates should check their contact information before submitting the JEE Main 2027 application form. A working mobile number and email address can be important for receiving registration-related communications. Review:

• The spelling of the email address.
• The mobile number entered.
• Access to the registered email account.
• Whether any verification message has arrived.
• The instructions for correcting contact details, if needed.

Keep access to the registered account throughout the examination process.

Candidates may become concerned if the JEE Mains application number does not appear after starting registration. They should first check whether the registration process was completed successfully.

1. Review the page for an error message.
2. Check whether the portal confirms registration.
3. Look for any official mail/SMS from NTA
4. Try the available login or recovery option.
5. Avoid immediately submitting another application.

If the application number remains unavailable, contact official support with the relevant details.

Until last year, candidates were allowed to change their JEE Mains exam city preference in the correction window.

However, NTA has not released any correction-related instructions for this year yet. Therefore, candidates should not wait for the correction window and should fill the exam city choices correctly during the registration window itself. Any permitted changes will depend on the official correction-window instructions.

If a candidate later needs to change a preference, they should check whether the portal permits the change during the notified period. NTA will NOT accept a request through email or another unofficial route.

Candidates should review the examination city options displayed in the JEE Main 2027 application form.

Before submitting city preferences:

• Check the available locations.
• Select practical options based on travel requirements.
• Confirm that each selection has been saved.
• Read the instructions on city allocation.
• Wait for the official examination-city intimation.

The city selected as a preference is not necessarily the city that will be allotted.

NTA allows two options in the dropdown of the JEE Main application form against the field "Do you have an APAAR ID". The options are YES and NO. Candidates who do not have the ID can simply select 'NO' and proceed with the further details in the form. Therefore, candidates do not need to delay their application while waiting for their school to generate an APAAR ID.

APAAR stands for Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry. It is a unique 12-digit identification number introduced by the Government of India under the 'One Nation, One Student ID' initiative.

The purpose of APAAR ID is to help students maintain a digital record of their academic journey. It can connect educational achievements and credentials, making it easier for students and institutions to access and verify academic records.

The session 1 JEE Main application process will remain activa etill november 26. The candidates will be able to apply until November 22 without any late fee. However, candidates who will apply from November 23 to 26, have to pay an additional fee of INR 500 as a late fee.

Students must note that:

• JEE Main application form will be considered submitted only after successful payment of the application fee.
• The JEE Main application fee is different for Indian and overseas applicants and for the papers selected.

Candidates should compare the JEE Main 2027 registration instructions with previous-year procedures only after reading the current NTA notices. The current registration process includes specific instructions and identity verification requirements that candidates must follow.

Applicants should pay attention to:

• DigiLocker and Re-KYC 
• The identity-proof upload is gone
• Foreign nationals and OCI candidates must upload a non-Indian passport
• The photo background is now white (it was "light-coloured")

Candidates should keep a secure record of the documents generated during JEE Mains 2027 registration.

Important records may include:

• Application number.
• Confirmation page.
• Payment receipt.
• Submitted application details.

Keep digital copies in a location that can be accessed when needed.  These records may be useful if a payment, application status or verification issue arises later. Candidates should also check the official portal regularly for further instructions.

Candidates should keep their JEE Main 2027 registration credentials secure. The application account contains personal details and important examination information.

• Use a secure password.
• Do not share passwords or OTPs with strangers.
• Avoid logging in through unofficial links.
• Sign out when using a shared computer.
• Keep the application number in a safe place.

If a candidate suspects unauthorised access, they should follow the official account security instructions. Do not send sensitive identity documents or login credentials to unknown people claiming to offer registration for JEE Mains exam.

Candidates can reduce application errors by checking the form before submission. Common mistakes include:

• Incorrect spelling of names.
• Wrong date of birth.
• Incorrect category selection.
• Wrong examination paper.
• Errors in examination city preferences.
• Incomplete identity verification.
• Unsuccessful fee payment.
• Failure to save the confirmation page.

Candidates should review each section instead of rushing through the application.

The steps to fill JEE Mains 2027 form include:

• Registration using DigiLocker on the MeriPehchan platform.
• Filling out the online form.
• Capturing a live photo
• Uploading required documents
• Payment of the application fee.

Candidates should complete the JEE Main 2027 registration process carefully and avoid creating duplicate applications. NTA has warned that multiple application forms can be treated as unfair means.

If a candidate faces a login, payment or submission problem, the first step should be to check the status of the existing application. Do not create another application simply because a confirmation page is delayed. Follow the official troubleshooting process and contact NTA support if necessary. NTA

Candidates who are appearing for improvement examinations should check the JEE Main 2027 eligibility rules applicable to their situation. They should distinguish between eligibility to sit for JEE Main and the marks required for admission.

Candidates should verify:

• Whether their qualifying examination year is permitted.
• Whether their examination status is entered correctly.
• Which marksheet or certificate is required.
• How improvement results are considered for admission.
• Whether the target institution has additional conditions.

Do not assume that appearing for an improvement examination automatically changes eligibility. The relevant examination and admission rules should be checked separately.

Re-eKYC refers to repeating or updating a Know Your Customer verification process when required.

Candidates should understand the exact meaning of the Re-KYC instruction displayed during JEE Main 2027 registration.

If the portal asks for Re-KYC:

• Read the message carefully.
• Follow the official DigiLocker or authentication instructions.
• Complete the requested verification.Return to the application form.
• Confirm that the verification status has been updated.

Candidates should not treat Re-KYC as a separate JEE Main examination application. It is an identity-related process. Follow the current NTA advisory for the specific steps applicable to the registration system.

Candidates should review the entire application form before submitting it. A final check can help you catch errors in personal details, academic information, and examination preferences.

Review these fields:

• Name and date of birth.
• Category and eligibility-related details.
• Selected paper and examination medium.
• Examination city preferences.
• Photograph and verification status.
• Contact details and payment amount.

Correct any errors before final submission if the portal allows it. After submitting the application, candidates should check the official instructions for any available correction window.

First-time applicants should understand the complete registration process before opening the application form.

• Candidates need to provide accurate personal and academic information and complete the identity verification steps required by NTA.
• Keep the following ready:
• Class 10 certificate or marksheet.
• Valid mobile number and email address.
• Identity details required by the portal.
• Category or disability certificate details, if applicable.
• Online payment method.

Read every instruction carefully. Incorrect information may create problems during verification or admission. Save the application number and confirmation page for future reference.

Candidates may access the JEE Main 2027 registration portal through a mobile phone, provided they can complete every required step correctly. However, a computer may be more convenient for checking details, uploading information and saving documents.

• Use a stable internet connection.
• Keep your registered mobile number and email address accessible.
• Check the photograph and identity verification instructions.
• Avoid closing the browser during payment.
• Save the confirmation page after successful submission.

If a technical issue occurs, follow the instructions on the official portal rather than submitting another application immediately.

Submitting the JEE Main 2027 application form is an important step, but candidates should also verify that the process is complete.

After submission:

• Check whether the payment status is successful.
• Download the confirmation page.
• Save the application number and login details.
• Keep a copy of the payment receipt.
• Monitor the official website for correction-window notices and other updates.

Candidates should not assume that an application is complete merely because the fee has been deducted from their bank account. They should verify the payment and application status on the official portal.

The JEE Main 2027 application form can be accessed through the official examination website. Candidates should avoid relying on unofficial registration links shared on social media or messaging platforms.

How to access the form:

• Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in
• Open the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 application link.
• Read the instructions before proceeding.
• Complete the registration and application process.
• Submit the form and save the confirmation page.

The registration process may involve several steps, including identity verification, photograph capture, document details and fee payment.

• Check the spelling of your name.
• Keep your Class 10 certificate ready.
• Verify your date of birth.
• Check the photograph and identity verification requirements.
• Confirm that the fee payment is successful.

A partially completed application may not be treated as a successfully submitted form. Save the confirmation page after completing all required steps.

Candidates appearing for JEE Main 2027 Session 1 should check the application deadline before starting registration.

• Complete the application form before the deadline announced by NTA.
• Pay the examination fee within the prescribed payment window.
• Do not wait until the last few hours to submit the form.
• Keep sufficient time for Aadhaar verification, live photograph capture and payment.
• Check the official portal for any revised schedule.

The JEE Main 2027 Session 1 application form is available online on the official website: jeemain.nta.nic.in.

• Candidates must complete the online registration process and submit the application form.
• Applicants should keep their personal details, academic information and required documents ready before starting.
• Check the official information bulletin for eligibility, examination fees and application instructions.
• After submitting the form, save the confirmation page and payment receipt.

The error may occur for several reasons.

• Outdated Aadhaar photograph: The photograph stored in Aadhaar may not reflect the candidate's current appearance.
• Poor lighting: Shadows or insufficient light can affect face detection.
• Incorrect camera position: The system may fail to capture the face if it is not clearly visible.
• Technical issues: Browser errors, camera permissions or an unstable internet connection may interrupt photo capture.
• Identity mismatch: Differences between the candidate's identity records may require further verification.

Candidates who registered and applied for JEE Main Session 1 must log in using their existing Session 1 application number and password to apply for Session 2. It is important that you do not create a new registration. To fill out the Session 2 form and pay the required fee, please use your Session 1 credentials.

If you did not apply or appear for Session 1, you are still allowed to register anew during the dedicated application window for Session 2 when it opens.

The JEE Main 2027 registration Session 1 last date without a late fee is November 22, 2026, up to 11:50 PM. Candidates who miss this deadline can submit their application forms during the late fee window from November 23 to November 26, 2026, by paying an additional late fee of INR 500.

Students are advised to complete their applications during the regular registration window instead of waiting for the late fee period. Applying early will give them more time to check their details, upload the required documents, complete the fee payment and resolve any technical issues.
