⏳ Calculating...

🎓 Eligibility

Eligibility by year: Candidates who first passed Class XII/equivalent in 2025 or 2026, or who are appearing in 2027, are eligible to appear in JEE (Main) 2027.
Not eligible by year: Those who passed Class XII/equivalent in 2024 or earlier are not eligible.
First passing year: The year the candidate was first declared pass in Class XII/equivalent determines the passing year. Improvement examinations and later additional-subject passes do not change it. Example in the bulletin: a 2025 pass in Physics, Chemistry and Biology followed by a Mathematics pass in 2026 is treated as 2025.
Appearing candidates: Class XII 2027 appearing candidates can enter their roll number, registration number or enrolment number in relevant application fields.
Qualifying exam (i): Final 10+2 examination of any recognized Central or State Board, including CBSE and CISCE.
Qualifying exam (ii): Intermediate or two-year Pre-University examination conducted by a recognized Board/University.
Qualifying exam (iii): Final examination of the two-year course of the Joint Services Wing of the National Defence Academy.
Qualifying exam (iv): NIOS Senior Secondary School Examination with at least five subjects.
Qualifying exam (v): Examination of a public school/board/university in India or abroad recognized by the Association of Indian Universities as equivalent to the 10+2 system.
Qualifying exam (vi): Higher Secondary Certificate Vocational Examination.
Qualifying exam (vii): Diploma of at least three years recognized by AICTE or a State board of technical education.
Qualifying exam (viii): GCE examination (London/Cambridge/Sri Lanka) at Advanced (A) level.

Qualifying exam (xi): Candidates passing Class XII/equivalent abroad or from an unlisted board must provide an AIU equivalence certificate.
Qualifying exam (xii): If Class XII is not a public examination, the candidate must previously have passed at least one public Board or Pre-University examination.
Institution eligibility: Eligibility to sit for JEE (Main) does not itself guarantee eligibility for admission. Each admitting institute may apply its own admission/qualification rules; candidates must check its official admission information.
State of eligibility: Determined by the State where Class XII/equivalent was first passed, not birth, domicile or present residence. An improvement examination in another State does not change the original State of eligibility.
NIOS/BOSSE: Select State of Eligibility as the State where the study centre is located.
Nepal/Bhutan: For Indian nationals completing Class XII in Nepal or Bhutan, the State code of eligibility is determined by the permanent Indian address on the candidate’s passport.
OCI candidates: OCI candidates passing Class XII in India are at par with Indian nationals for State eligibility; OCI candidates passing Class XII abroad may apply for All India quota seats, not Home State quota seats, at NITs, IIITs and other CFTIs.

🧪 Selection Process

Candidates take the applicable JEE (Main) 2027 Paper 1, Paper 2A and/or Paper 2B as chosen at application.
NTA conducts the entrance test, hosts provisional and final answer keys, compiles NTA scores, declares results and publishes Common Rank List/category ranks; it does not conduct institutional admission.
Paper 1 scores are used for undergraduate engineering programmes and as an eligibility route for JEE (Advanced). Paper 2A is for B.Arch.; Paper 2B is for B.Planning.
The examination is offered in two sessions; attendance in both is not compulsory. Where a candidate takes both, the best Total NTA score of the two sessions is considered for overall ranking, not the best individual subject scores.
Multi-shift raw marks are converted to NTA percentile scores using the procedure in Appendix IV; scores are normalised for shift-level differences in question difficulty.
Ties are resolved according to the paper-specific subject-score and incorrect-to-correct-attempt ratio sequence provided in Chapter 2. Any unresolved tie receives the same rank.
Admission offers are made through the relevant JoSAA/CSAB seat-allocation procedure according to candidates’ choices and Common Rank List; original document verification is required at admission.
Candidates among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates (including all categories) in the Paper 1 B.E./B.Tech. examination may meet the JEE (Main) rank requirement for JEE (Advanced) 2027, subject to all other JEE (Advanced) eligibility conditions.

📢 Important Instructions

Only one application form per candidate is allowed. Candidates with inadvertently duplicated application numbers should contact NTA immediately. Active examination attempts under more than one application number are treated as unfair means.
Check all application entries carefully, including name, parents’ names, date of birth, gender, category/subcategory, education, photographs, signature, email, telephone and exam city.
The correction window enables only the fields specifically notified; after its closure, requests cannot be accepted. PwD/PwBD claims cannot be newly entertained after that window.
Candidates should keep their Aadhaar details current, including name, photograph, date of birth, gender and address. NTA may verify identity details/photographs and disability certificates against official sources.
Check official NTA announcements and registered email/SMS regularly. NTA does not take responsibility for errors from incorrect contact details.
Download e-Admit Card provisionally from the website, print at least four hard copies and preserve them. No admit card is mailed and none is reissued at exam centres.
Admit cards are conditional on fee receipt and eligibility; issuance alone does not confirm admission eligibility. Incomplete applications (including unclear photos/unsigned forms) may not receive admit cards.
For admit-card problems or discrepancies, contact NTA at 011-40759000 / 011-69227700 (10 AM–5 PM) or jeemain@nta.ac.in. Candidates with a discrepancy may take the already downloaded admit card and NTA will correct records later as applicable.

Sit only at the assigned computer terminal. Verify that the selected paper corresponds with the admit card; inform invigilator immediately about a mismatch.
A re-test is not held for candidates missing their allotted date for any reason. NTA is not responsible for late arrival from traffic or transport disruptions.
Only centre-supplied rough sheets and ballpoint pen are to be used. Write name and roll number at the top of every rough sheet and return all sheets after the examination; swapping sheets constitutes UFM.
Candidates may carry drinking water in a transparent bottle. Applicants with declared diabetes may carry sugar tablets or whole unpacked fruits such as bananas, apples or oranges.

Candidates wearing objects of faith, customary or cultural dress should reach the examination centre two hours early for screening. Sikh candidates may wear Kara and Kirpan, subject to examination-centre screening requirements. Female candidates are to be frisked in private by female staff.
Preserve hard and soft copies of the Confirmation Page, Admit Card and Scorecard because they will not be available after 31 July 2027.
Answer keys and response sheets are hosted only for limited periods; retain a downloaded hard copy of responses during the announced window.
Unfair means includes impersonation, cheating, prohibited devices, communicating with others, document fabrication, tampering with admit cards/scorecards, hacking, copying/transferring rough sheets, repeat attempts under different application numbers and obstruction of the exam.
Unfair means may cause cancellation of results, exclusion, debarment for up to three years and/or legal/criminal action. The bulletin also refers to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, with statutory punishments for covered offences.
Only permitted online provisional answer-key challenges submitted with justification and fee are considered; NTA expert review is final. There is no result re-evaluation or rechecking.
The examination and admission authorities may verify authentic original documents; false reservation/disability certificates or inaccurate claims can lead to exclusion or cancellation of admission.
NTA handles only examination-related matters; institutional admission grievances and seat-allotment questions must be addressed to the respective admission/counselling authority.
NTA/Government of India may use candidate information for research, training, analysis and other lawful purposes as stated in the bulletin with reference to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

🗣️ Languages and Examination Centres

JEE (Main) 2027 offers 13 question-paper languages: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Regional-language papers appear alongside English. In the event of a difference in translated text, the English version prevails. The selected language cannot be changed after the correction window.

Question Paper Medium	Applicable Examination Centres
English	All Indian and overseas centres
English and Hindi	All centres in India
English and Assamese	Assam centres
English and Bengali	West Bengal, Tripura, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Assam test cities and official codes:

City	NTA City Code
Dibrugarh	AM01
Guwahati	AM02
Jorhat	AM03
Silchar (Assam)	AM04
Tezpur	AM05

Candidates may select up to four preferred cities, ordinarily within the State of their present/permanent address. Where insufficient city options are available, nearby-State options may appear subject to availability. Candidates with present or permanent address outside India must select at least one centre city in India. NTA may allot a different city, merge low-demand cities and change centres for logistical reasons; the final centre is shown on the Admit Card. The complete list of 310 listed exam cities and their codes is reproduced in the full-text source at the end of this article and visible in the embedded bulletin (Appendix II, pages 48–55 of the bulletin).

⚖️ Category-wise Reservation and PwD/PwBD Facilities

Category	Seats Reserved (as stated in the NTA bulletin)
GEN-EWS	10%
OBC – Non-Creamy Layer	27%
Scheduled Castes (SC)	15%
Scheduled Tribes (ST)	7.5%
Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD)	5% of seats in each of GEN, GEN-EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST categories

OBC-NCL reservation requires inclusion in the Central OBC list. OBC candidates covered only by a State list and those from the creamy layer cannot claim central OBC-NCL reservation; the latter are considered General/Unreserved.
GEN-EWS eligibility must follow prevailing Government of India norms and the cited Government memorandum. SC/ST and other reserved-category eligibility is subject to central lists and certificate verification.
State Government-run/aided/recognised institutions apply their respective State Government reservation policy.
PwBD generally means not less than 40% of the specified disability, supported by competent-authority certification. Applicable rules also cover some PwD candidates below 40% with certified writing difficulty.
Eligible candidates can use an NTA-provided scribe or their own qualified scribe. An own scribe must have a qualification one step below the candidate; submit the Annexure III undertaking.
For blindness, locomotor disability affecting both arms and cerebral palsy, scribe/reader assistance is made available on request under the applicable memorandum. Other eligible categories require the prescribed government medical certificate (Annexure I or II).
Eligible candidates receive compensatory time of at least 20 minutes per examination hour, and eligibility-dependent scribe arrangements according to Chapter 4. See original annexures for medical certification forms and medical-board composition.
For candidates who have applied to both sessions with the same application number, PwD/PwBD subcategory particulars cannot be changed during the Session 2 correction window.
Invalid/fake certificates or disability claims, or improper use of scribe/compensatory time, can cause exclusion from evaluation, ranking, counselling or admission and cancellation of an already granted admission.

🏆 NTA Score, Answer Keys, Results and Admission

Answer-key challenge: NTA posts provisional answer keys on its website, normally for two to three days; challenge fee is ₹200 per question (non-refundable). A paid challenge must be supported by evidence and submitted through the prescribed portal within the specified window.
Recorded responses: Candidate response sheets and attempted question papers are displayed before results, generally for two to three days. Download and retain them because they are not provided later.
Final keys: Subject experts consider paid challenges; NTA’s decision is final. Final keys are used to compile results. No grievances concerning keys are entertained after declaration of results.
Normalization: Shift-specific raw marks become NTA percentile scores. A percentile is the percentage of candidates in that shift with scores equal to or below the candidate’s raw score, calculated to seven decimal places. It is not the percentage of marks obtained; the total percentile is not an average of subject percentiles.
Session 1 and Session 2: NTA scores are prepared separately; candidates taking both sessions receive consideration based on the higher Total NTA Score. Overall rank lists are prepared after Session 2.
Paper 1 tie-break: Mathematics NTA score → Physics → Chemistry → lower incorrect/correct attempt proportion overall → lower corresponding proportion in Mathematics → Physics → Chemistry → same rank if still tied.
Paper 2A tie-break: Mathematics NTA score → Aptitude → Drawing → lower incorrect/correct proportion overall → Mathematics → Aptitude → same rank.
Paper 2B tie-break: Mathematics NTA score → Aptitude → Planning-Based Questions → lower incorrect/correct proportion overall → Mathematics → Aptitude → Planning → same rank.
Rank lists: Common Rank List and category ranks are published. Score/rank cards are downloadable only; no physical cards are posted. A final NTA score copy is also emailed to the registered address.
Seat allocation: JoSAA/CSAB use Common Rank List and candidates’ preferences for participating institutions; institutions using other processes may prepare their own lists. Admission documents are verified by the admission authority.
No rechecking: NTA does not allow reevaluation or rechecking of results. Other central/state organisations may use the JEE (Main) result under their own eligibility rules.
JEE (Advanced): Indian candidates should be among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates (all categories) in the JEE (Main) Paper 1, subject to the other criteria on the JEE (Advanced) official site.

For complete normalization calculations, example four-shift data, percentile formula, and policy on cut-off equivalence, see Appendix IV (pages 62–65) in the full bulletin reproduced below.

Use Save & Next to save an answer and move ahead, and Mark for Review & Next to save and mark a question for later reconsideration. Selecting another palette number alone does not save the current answer.
To change a response, select its question, clear or change the option/value and save again. Only answered questions, including those answered and marked for review, are evaluated.
Candidates can navigate between subject sections during the available examination time. The question-paper language may be switched on-screen by opening the profile menu, while the registered medium remains binding under the bulletin’s rules.
The keyboard attached to the test computer is disabled. Use the mouse and virtual onscreen numeric keyboard for numerical response questions.
On computer or mouse malfunction, staff should allot another computer and adjust the time lost at server level.
The original bulletin includes sample screenshots, explanations of all question-palette symbols, screen magnifier information and detailed navigation steps in Appendix III, pages 56–61.
