Applications for JEE Main 2027 Session 1 are live now. The no‑late‑fee deadline is November 22, 2026, with a late‑fee window from November 23 to 26. Form correction opens November 27 to 29. City intimation releases December 30, admit cards on January 13. Exams run January 20–24 and 28, 2027.
NTA’s fresh advisory asks applicants to use their own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e‑Pramaan accounts and complete DigiLocker re‑KYC before applying. It also says name and date of birth must match Class 10 records. Do this first to avoid biometric mismatches and document flags during verification.

Category certificate validity for JEE Main 2027 and JoSAA
JEE Main records your category; originals are checked during seat allocation. UDID details can be verified online, and PwD claims cannot be changed after the correction window. Last year, JoSAA accepted OBC‑NCL or GEN‑EWS certificates issued on or after April 1, 2026, or valid online certificates. Renew early.
