JEE Main 2027 Eligibility Criteria
NTA has set three core eligibility rules for JEE Main 2027:
- No age limit: There is no age limit for appearing in JEE Main 2027. Individual institutes may still apply their own age rules at admission.
- Class 12 passing year: You must have passed Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2025 or 2026, or be appearing in 2027. Students who passed Class 12 in 2024 or earlier are not eligible.
- Qualifying exams: Recognised Class 12 boards (CBSE, CISCE, state boards), NIOS with at least five subjects, a three-year AICTE or state board diploma, and other equivalents listed in the bulletin.
The passing year is the year your Class 12 result was first declared “pass”. Improvement attempts do not change it.
JEE Advanced 2027 link: The top 2,50,000 candidates (all categories included) in Paper 1 of JEE Main 2027 become eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027, subject to its other conditions.

Can you appear in both sessions? Yes. Session 1 candidates apply for Session 2 with the same Application Number and pay the Session 2 fee separately. If you appear in both, NTA uses the better of your two total NTA scores for the merit list. Appearing in both sessions is optional.
JEE Main 2027 Preparation Plan for the January Session
From late October, aspirants have roughly 12 weeks before the first exam date on January 20, 2027. Use them in three phases.
Phase 1: Finish the syllabus and close gaps (now to mid-November)
- Download the official syllabus from jeemain.nta.nic.in and mark every weak chapter.
- Finish pending topics first, then revise high-weightage chapters in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
- Complete your registration in the first week, so form issues never eat into study time.
Phase 2: Practise previous years’ questions (mid-November to late December)
- Solve previous years’ questions chapter by chapter, then in mixed sets.
- Practise Section B numerical questions daily. They carry negative marking, so accuracy matters as much as speed.
- Maintain a short formula and error notebook for quick revision.
Phase 3: Full mock tests in exam conditions (January)
- Take full 3-hour mock tests in the same shift slot as your likely exam (9 AM or 3 PM).
- Analyse every test for conceptual errors, calculation slips and time sinks.
- Reduce new learning in the final week and focus on revision and sleep.
