JEE Main 2027 registration date: what NTA has said so far
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet announced the JEE Main 2027 registration date. Going by the last three years, the Session 1 application form is likely to open between 28 October and 1 November 2026; that is an estimate, not an NTA date (CollegeDekho). NTA's tentative calendar puts Session 1 on 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30 January 2027, with 31 January as a buffer day (Physics Wallah).

Where to apply
Only on NTA's official JEE Main site, jeemain.nta.nic.in. The information brochure, released with the form, gives the fees, eligibility and exam city options. Ignore dates shared on social media until the brochure is out.
Session 1 exam dates (tentative)
- Friday 22, Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 January 2027
- Thursday 28, Friday 29 and Saturday 30 January 2027
- Sunday 31 January 2027 kept as a buffer day
NTA calls these dates tentative, so they can still change (Physics Wallah).

Students who passed Class 12 or an equivalent exam in 2025 or 2026, or who are appearing in 2027, with Physics and Mathematics, can apply for JEE Main 2027, according to CollegeDekho.
