JEE Main 2027 Session 1: Important Dates

The dates announced by NTA are tentative and may be changed because of administrative, academic, statutory, logistical or other unforeseen circumstances.

JEE Main 2027 Exam Date Announced

JEE Main is the national-level engineering entrance examination conducted by NTA. Paper 1 is used for admission to undergraduate engineering programmes, including B.E. and B.Tech, at participating institutions such as NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded technical institutions, subject to applicable admission rules.

The newly announced January schedule allows students preparing for JEE Main 2027 to plan their academic preparation around the tentative examination window.

Detailed JEE Main 2027 Notification to Be Released Separately

Candidates should note that the announcement of the examination calendar does not constitute the complete JEE Main 2027 examination notification.

Details such as the application form dates, eligibility criteria, examination cities, application fee, correction facility, admit card schedule, city intimation slip, examination pattern and other instructions will be provided through the detailed JEE Main 2027 notification and information bulletin.
