NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is currently accepting online applications for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 Session 1 through its official portal, jeemain.nta.nic.in. With the regular registration deadline fast approaching, the testing body has issued crucial guidelines regarding valid form submissions, late fee windows, and total attempt limits for engineering and architecture aspirants.
To prevent application rejections and ensure fair testing practices, the NTA has enforced strict submission rules for the 2027 examination cycle:
Single Attempt Per Session: Candidates are permitted to appear only once in a given session. Submitting multiple application forms to sit for the exam more than once in the same session is strictly prohibited. Any candidate attempting to appear using multiple application numbers will be booked under Unfair Means (UFM) and face disqualification.
Fresh Form Submissions: If an applicant makes an error and submits a fresh application form after already generating an application number, only the last successfully submitted form with completed fee payment and a generated confirmation page will be treated as valid.
Incomplete Re-applications: If a candidate initiates a second application but fails to pay the fee or complete the submission, their earlier successfully paid and confirmed application will remain valid. However, fees paid toward previous forms will neither be refunded nor adjusted.
Live Photo and Document Mandate: Applicants must capture and upload a live photograph during the online application process, alongside a recent scanned passport-size color photograph (80% face visibility against a white background), signature, and Class 10 certificate.
Candidates who miss the regular Session 1 registration deadline will have a brief four-day window to apply by paying an additional INR 500 late fee (applicable across all categories over and above the standard examination fee).
Under NTA norms, there is no age limit for candidates appearing in JEE Main 2027. However, eligibility is tied directly to the year of passing the Class 12 (or equivalent) qualifying examination:
Maximum Attempts: A candidate can appear in JEE Main for three consecutive years starting from the year they pass their Class 12 examination. Since the exam is held twice annually (January and April), aspirants have up to six total attempts across three years.
Eligible Batches for 2027: Candidates who passed their Class 12 examination in 2025 or 2026, as well as those appearing in the 2027 board examinations, are eligible to apply for JEE Main 2027.
Best Score Policy: Appearing in both Session 1 and Session 2 is optional. For candidates who take both sessions in 2027, the best of the two NTA scores will be considered for the final All India Rank (AIR) merit list.
Applicants are advised to complete their registration and download the final confirmation page well before the November 22 deadline to avoid last-minute server congestion.
