The National Testing Agency (NTA) is anticipated to release the official information brochure and comprehensive schedule for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 in October 2026.
Engineering aspirants targeting undergraduate admissions into Tier-1 institutes—including National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs)—can monitor the upcoming calendar on the NTA JEE Main official portal.
Following the structural patterns of previous academic cycles, the national-level entrance gateway will be administered in two independent sessions using the Computer-Based Test (CBT) methodology. The online registration window for Session 1 is projected to open between late October and November 2026, with the actual exam execution scheduled for the last week of January 2027. Results for this opening phase will be declared in February 2027, immediately preceding the Session 2 registration window that runs from February to early March 2027.
The second session of exams will take place in the first week of April 2027, culminating in the final rank declarations by late April 2027.
To successfully navigate the admission cycle, candidates must meet specific academic eligibility criteria and clear structural performance thresholds. Individuals completing their 10+2 higher secondary board examinations in 2027, alongside those who qualified in 2025 or 2026, remain structurally eligible to apply for the test. While no threshold percentage is required for an applicant to sit for the screening test itself, securing a minimum of 75% marks in Class 12 (relaxable to 65% for SC/ST quotas) is mandatory during the JoSAA allocation phase to lock seats at premium public institutions.
The Paper 1 formatting for B.E. and B.Tech courses expects a configuration of 75 compulsory active questions spanning Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, aggregating to a total of 300 maximum marks.
