The JEE Main 2027 application form for Session 1 is live on the official NTA website. The window opened on 24 October 2026, and the last date to apply is 22 November 2026, up to 11:50 PM. Fee payment also has to be completed by the same time.

A lot of students lose a seat in the exam not because of marks but because of small form mistakes: a wrong category, a blurry photo, a failed payment or a phone number that isn’t theirs. This page explains the whole JEE Main registration process the way the NTA bulletin describes it, so you can fill the form once and get it right.

You can only apply through the official website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. NTA does not accept forms by post, email or any other mode.

JEE Main 2027 Registration Dates at a Glance

If you miss the normal deadline, the late fee window gives you four more days. But the late fee is ₹500 over and above your category fee, so there is no reason to wait.

Who Should Fill the JEE Main Application Form 2027?

You can apply if you have passed Class 12 (or an equivalent exam) in 2025 or 2026, or if you are appearing in it in 2027. Students who passed Class 12 in 2024 or earlier are not eligible. There is no age limit for the exam, though some institutes set their own age rules at the admission stage.

If you are in Class 12 right now, you can still apply. The form lets you enter your roll or registration number of the 2027 board exam in the relevant fields.

JEE Main 2027 Application Fee

The fee is charged per session. You can pay by credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI.

For one paper (B.E./B.Tech., B.Arch., or B.Planning) with exam centers in India:

For two or more papers (for example, Paper 1 with Paper 2A), the fee is ₹2,000 for General, Gen-EWS, and OBC (NCL) male candidates; ₹1,600 for female candidates; and ₹1,000 for SC/ST/PwD/PwBD and third-gender candidates.

Bank processing charges and GST are paid by the candidate on top of this. Fees for centers outside India are higher and are given in the bulletin.

A few payment rules worth knowing:

• Once the fee is successfully paid, NTA does not refund it. Only failed or duplicate transactions are refunded, and that goes back through the same payment mode.
• The confirmation page is generated only after payment succeeds. Without it, your application is not complete.
• UPI shows no extra charge in the three payment gateways listed in the bulletin (SBI, Union Bank, and Canara Bank). Cards and net banking can carry small charges, depending on the bank.

Documents Required for JEE Main Application Form

Keep these scanned and ready before you start.

Along with the scanned photo, the form also asks for a live photograph taken at the time of filling. Switch on your webcam, sit in good light against a plain white wall, and keep your ears visible. If your device has no camera, the portal gives a QR code that you can scan with a phone or tablet.

Upload only your own photo, signature, and certificates. If NTA finds at any stage that someone else’s photo or signature was used, it is treated as unfair means. Also, the facility to change these after the correction window is not given.

How to Apply Online for JEE Main 2027: Step by Step

The official process has four steps. You can complete them together or on different days.

Step 1: Registration

Open jeemain.nta.nic.in and click on the Session 1 registration link. Registration works through the government’s single sign-on service, MeriPehchaan. Enter your basic details and create a password. After that, the system generates an application number. Write it down, because you will need it for login, for the second session and for every future communication with NTA.

Step 2: Fill the application form

Log in with your application number and password. Fill in your personal details, choose the paper you are applying for, select your exam cities, and enter your educational qualification. Then upload the photo, signature, and documents.

Step 3: Pay the fee

Pay the category-wise fee online. Keep the payment proof safe.

Step 4: Download the confirmation page

After successful payment, download the confirmation page, save a soft copy, and print it. You don’t have to send it to NTA, and no document has to be posted anywhere. The whole process is online.

Password rules: 8 to 13 characters, with at least one capital letter, one small letter, one number and one special character. If you forget it, you can reset it through an SMS code on your registered mobile or a link on your registered email.

Choosing Exam Cities in the Application Form

You can select up to four exam cities, in order of preference. The choice is limited to the state of your permanent address or present address. NTA tries to give you one of your choices, but it can allot a different city if there are administrative reasons or too few candidates in a city. The decision is final, and the allotted city is shown in the city intimation slip on 30 December 2026.

Choosing the Language of Question Paper

The paper is conducted in 13 languages: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. The paper comes in English plus the language you choose, and where there is any difference, the English version is final. Which regional languages are available depends on the state of your exam centre. Choose carefully, because the language cannot be changed after the correction window closes, and you must choose the same medium in the exam.

JEE Main Application Form Correction 2027

After you submit the form, NTA gives a one-time correction window. For Session 1 it runs from 27 to 29 November 2026. Some points to keep in mind:

• Only the fields that NTA enables can be edited. The list of editable fields is announced when the window opens.
• NTA will not make corrections that you send by post, fax, WhatsApp, email or in person.
• After the window closes, no claims related to PwD/PwBD status will be accepted.
• If you also apply for Session 2 using the same application number, you cannot change your sub-category or PwD/PwBD details in the Session 2 correction window.

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Filling JEE Main Form

1. Using someone else’s mobile number or email. All notices, including the admit card update, come only on the number and email in your form. Use ones you can access (a parent’s is fine), but remember that one number or email works for only one form.
2. Filling more than one application form. If you appear in the exam under more than one application number, it is treated as unfair means. If you made a duplicate by mistake, tell the NTA helpline immediately so that one can be cancelled.
3. Entering the wrong category or sub-category. The OBC (NCL), Gen-EWS, SC, ST and PwD details you enter here are also used for JEE Advanced.
4. Spelling your name differently from your Class 10 certificate. The scorecard is made as per the name on your Class 10 certificate or marksheet.
5. Uploading a photo that doesn’t match the rules. A mask, a dark background or a blurry image can lead to problems later at the admit card stage.
6. Not saving the confirmation page. Download it, keep a soft and a hard copy, and note your application number.
7. Waiting for the last day. Payment gateways get busy near the deadline, and a failed transaction is difficult to sort out in the last hour.

What If Payment Fails or the Confirmation Page Doesn’t Come?

This happens more often than people think. The bulletin gives a clear process:

1. Check the payment status with your bank or the payment gateway using their helpline.
2. If the bank says the payment did not go through, pay again before the deadline.
3. If the bank says the payment was successful but the confirmation page is missing, contact the NTA helpline so that the page can be regenerated.
4. Any duplicate payment is refunded after reconciliation, through the same mode you paid with.

When you raise a payment query, keep these ready: the bank or gateway name, date and time of the transaction, transaction number, bank reference number, and a screenshot from the payment page.

Tips Before You Press Submit

• Use a laptop or desktop. Phones can drop the connection during payment.
• Keep your Class 10 certificate open while you fill the form and copy your name, date of birth and parents’ names exactly as written.
• Update your Aadhaar details (photo, name, date of birth, address) if they are outdated, because these are used for verification at the exam centre.
• Take screenshots of each page of the filled form before paying.
• Check your email and the NTA website regularly after applying.

Conclusion

Filling the JEE Main 2027 application form is simple if you stay careful and start early. Keep your photo, signature, and Class 10 certificate ready, double-check your category and contact details, and pay the fee before 22 November 2026. Save the confirmation page once payment goes through. Use the correction window from 27 to 29 November for small fixes, and keep checking jeemain.nta.nic.in for updates. Good luck with the exam.
