Why the Dates Are Tentative
NTA has not published an exact registration date. The expected timing is an estimate based on last year's schedule. According to the source, the application form was released on October 31 last year, while the notification with registration guidelines came out earlier, in September [VERIFY against NTA's records]. Candidates should treat the October window as a forecast until NTA issues an official notice.
JEE Main 2027 Session 1 Exam Dates
NTA has announced that Session 1 will be held on January 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, and 30, 2027. January 31, 2027, is a buffer day.
What to Do Before Registration Opens
Last year's process used Aadhaar and DigiLocker sign-in, and the source expects NTA to continue with it. NTA has not confirmed this for 2027 [VERIFY]. Candidates can prepare as follows:
- Check your Aadhaar details. Name, father's name, and address should be correct. The Aadhaar photograph should be recent.
- Apply for corrections early if any Aadhaar detail needs updating.
- Keep a webcam ready. The source says candidates will need to upload a live photo, which is matched with the Aadhaar photo [VERIFY for 2027].
- Keep an alternative photo ID if you choose not to use Aadhaar or DigiLocker. Accepted IDs listed in the source are PAN, Passport, Driving Licence or Voter ID.
How to Apply
Registration and the detailed application form are both completed online on the official website. Candidates first register, then fill in the detailed application form. Fee and eligibility details will be in NTA's information bulletin.
JEE Main 2027 Syllabus
The source says the syllabus will be released along with the application forms. As the JEE syllabus follows NCERT and the NCERT curriculum has not changed, it is expected to be similar to last year's. The source adds that NTA may change the syllabus in a later year because the NCERT curriculum for Class 11 changes from 2027-28.
