Joint Entrance Examination (Main) – Session I 2027 Application Details
The National Testing Agency (NTA) is inviting online applications for the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) – Session I, 2027. This admission examination cycle covers candidates seeking to apply for BE/BTech, BArch and B Planning, with subject requirements that differ by course.
The application process brings together course eligibility, applicant-category fees and separate India and outside-India fee schedules. Candidates should coordinate their application and payment carefully, because both close on the same date and the correction window opens only afterwards.
JEE Main 2027 Session I: Application Schedule, Eligibility and Fee Structure
NTA is the conducting agency for this examination, with online applications available through the designated application portal. The key application decisions are the course or course combination being selected, the relevant educational qualification and the applicable fee entry.
Application Timeline and Correction Window
The registration schedule separates application submission and payment from the later correction period. The correction window should therefore be treated as a subsequent opportunity to review permitted particulars, not as an extension of the application or payment deadline.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Online application starts | 24 October 2026 |
| Last date for application | 22 November 2026 |
| Last date for fee payment | 22 November 2026 |
| Application correction window | 27–29 November 2026 |
| Exam city announcement | 30 December 2026 |
| Admit card release | 13 January 2027 |
| Examination dates | 20–28 January 2027 |
Applicants should check their course choices and personal particulars before submission, while leaving enough time to complete payment within the original application period. The later city announcement and admit-card release are distinct milestones, so candidates should track both rather than treating the city announcement as the admit card.
Educational Eligibility by Course
The educational requirement is expressed in terms of a passed 10+2 qualification and the subjects studied. BE/BTech and BArch share the PCM requirement, while B Planning has a separately stated Mathematics requirement.
- BE/BTech and BArch: 10+2 passed with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM).
- B Planning: 10+2 passed with Mathematics.

This distinction matters when choosing courses in the application: the subject requirement for one course should not be substituted for that of another. Candidates selecting a combination should review the qualification requirement for each course included.
Application Fees for India and Outside India
The fee schedule varies by applicant category, gender label, location and whether a listed course combination is selected. The table keeps the fee labels intact and separates the general entries from the expressly listed combination entries.
| Applicant category as listed | India: fee entry | Outside India: fee entry | India: listed combination fee | Outside India: listed combination fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General/OBC/EWS (Male) | Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 5,000 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 10,000 |
| General/OBC/EWS (Female) | Rs. 800 | Rs. 4,000 | Rs. 1,600 | Rs. 8,000 |
| SC/ST/PH/Female | Rs. 500 | Rs. 2,500 | Rs. 1,000 | Rs. 5,000 |
The combination-fee columns apply to the following expressly listed choices:
- BE/BTech & BArch
- BE/BTech & B Planning
- BE/BTech, BArch & B Planning
- BArch & B Planning
The schedule includes both a “General/OBC/EWS (Female)” entry and a separate “SC/ST/PH/Female” entry. Female applicants should check the applicable classification in the information brochure before choosing a fee entry.
Application Route and Required Documents
Candidates can apply through the online application portal or access the process through the official JEE Main website. Preparing the required documents before entering application details allows candidates to check their academic and identity information against the relevant records.
- Class 12 mark sheet and certificates
- Aadhar Card/PAN Card
- Passport-size photograph
- Signature

Document preparation, course selection and fee-category checking should be completed together rather than left until payment. This helps candidates identify discrepancies while the application process is still open, instead of relying entirely on the later correction window.
Examination and Final Result Progression
The stated examination progression consists of a computer-based test (CBT), followed by the final result. This identifies the assessment format and the subsequent result stage without establishing any additional examination or admission stages.
A detailed paper pattern, question distribution, marking scheme and negative-marking rule are not specified in the available examination details. Candidates should therefore use the information brochure for paper-specific instructions rather than infer those rules from the CBT format alone.
