JEE Main 2027: Notification, Registration & Application Guide
The JEE Main cycle begins when NTA releases the information bulletin and opens online registration on jeemain.nta.nic.in, typically in October for Session 1. The bulletin is the master document — it tells you the live eligibility rules, fees, exam schedule, and subject-wise question pattern for that cycle. Always read it before starting the form.
How to register and apply cleanly
- Read the information bulletin first — Download it from jeemain.nta.nic.in as soon as it is released. It is the only authoritative source for the current cycle's rules.
- Create your NTA registration — Register at the official portal with your active email and mobile. Keep the login credentials safe — you will need them for all subsequent steps.
- Fill the application form carefully — Enter personal, academic, and category details accurately. Any mismatch between the form and your documents can create problems at later stages.
- Upload documents and pay fees — Follow the exact size, format, and fee instructions in the bulletin. Pay only through the official payment portal and save the payment receipt.
- Use the correction window if needed — NTA typically opens a short correction window after registration closes. Use it for genuine errors in non-locked fields — not all fields can be changed.
Apply early, not on the last day: Last-day portal load and rushed entries are the most common causes of preventable errors. Finish registration well before the deadline, verify all entries on screen, and save confirmation. Always confirm the current dates on the official portal — dates change every cycle.
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for both sessions together?
