The JEE Main notification is the single most important document in the entire JEE Main examination cycle. Every process, from registration to result, is governed by what is stated in the official notification and the accompanying Information Brochure released by the National Testing Agency. Before you register, upload documents, pay fees, or confirm your exam city, the notification is the only authoritative reference you should follow.
This page covers everything you need to know about the JEE Main 2027 notification: when it is expected to be released, what it contains, the complete session-wise key dates timeline based on NTA's established pattern, what to read first when the brochure is published, and the history of notification releases from 2024, 2025, and 2026 that form the basis for all 2027 estimates.
The JEE Main 2027 official notification has not been released as of May 2026. All dates and content described on this page are based on the official NTA notifications for JEE Main 2025 (notification released October 28, 2024) and JEE Main 2026 (notification released October 31, 2025).
Live Update Notice: This page will be updated immediately upon the release of the official JEE Main 2027 notification by NTA at jeemain.nta.nic.in. Check back or bookmark this page for the most current information.

Based on the past three years of NTA releases, the JEE Main notification for Session 1 follows a consistent October-end timeline.
| Year Notification Release Date Registration Opens Registration Closes | |||
| JEE Main 2024 | November 1, 2023 | November 1, 2023 | November 30, 2023 |
| JEE Main 2025 | October 28, 2024 | October 28, 2024 | November 22, 2024 |
| JEE Main 2026 | October 31, 2025 | October 31, 2025 | November 27, 2025 |
| JEE Main 2027 (Expected) | Last week of October 2026 | Last week of October 2026 | Last week of November 2026 |
The NTA has maintained a highly consistent notification calendar over recent years. For JEE Main 2027, the notification for Session 1 is expected in the last week of October 2026, most likely between October 28 and November 1, 2026.
The Session 2 notification is not released separately. Once Session 1 registration closes and the exam dates are announced in the main brochure, the Session 2 registration window opens in February 2027 using the same NTA portal.
The JEE Main Information Brochure (also called the Official Bulletin) is the document that accompanies the notification release. It is a comprehensive PDF published by NTA and is the authoritative reference for every aspect of the JEE Main examination that year.
The brochure typically runs between 60 and 90 pages and contains:
Every candidate should download and read the full Information Brochure before filling the application form. Many eligibility and document errors occur because candidates rely on summaries rather than reading the brochure directly.
The following timeline is based on NTA's pattern from JEE Main 2025 and JEE Main 2026 and represents the most accurate estimate available until the official 2027 notification is released.

Understanding the history of NTA notifications helps candidates set realistic expectations for what the 2027 notification will contain and when it will arrive.
When the official notification drops at jeemain.nta.nic.in, do not fill the application form immediately. Spend 30 to 60 minutes reading these sections of the brochure first.
1. Exam Dates for Both Sessions Confirm the exact dates for Session 1 and Session 2 exams. If you are appearing in board exams in March/April 2027, check that Session 2 dates do not conflict.
2. Registration Deadline Note the last date to apply for Session 1 with extreme care. Missing this deadline means waiting for Session 2 registration (February 2027), which means losing Session 1 entirely.
3. Eligibility Criteria Verify the passing year requirement. For JEE Main 2027, candidates must have passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026 or be appearing in 2027. If any change is announced from the expected criteria, it will be stated here.
4. Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme Check if NTA has made any changes to the number of questions, optional/compulsory NVQ status, or negative marking rules. In 2025, NTA announced the removal of optional NVQs in the brochure. A similar announcement in 2027 must not be missed.
5. Syllabus Download the official syllabus PDF from the brochure. Check if any topics have been added or removed compared to the 2026 syllabus. Use this to update your preparation plan.
6. Fee Structure Verify the application fee for your category and gender. Do not rely on fee information from third-party websites on notification day.
7. Document Upload Specifications The photograph size, format, and specification may change between years. Confirm the exact requirements before uploading documents.
8. New Changes or Announcements NTA typically lists "Important Changes for This Year" in the opening pages of the brochure. Read this section carefully before anything else.

JEE Main 2026 was conducted at 323 cities across India and 14 international locations including Bahrain, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah, Kathmandu, Singapore, Colombo, and others. Candidates in India select up to 4 city preferences in order of priority.
Once the notification is live, the process moves quickly. The following sequence applies based on every year's pattern:
Day 1 (Notification Day): Download the brochure, read it in full, prepare all documents (photograph, signature, thumb impression, marksheets).
Day 2 to 5: Begin the online registration at jeemain.nta.nic.in. Complete all five steps: registration, form filling, document upload, fee payment, and confirmation page download.
After Registration (within 2 to 3 days of last date): The correction window opens. Use this to fix any errors in category, paper choice, exam city, or documents. Do not wait for the correction window to fix things that should have been correct on the first attempt.
6 to 8 weeks after registration closes: The city intimation slip is released, telling you which city and centre has been assigned for your exam.
3 days before exam: The admit card is released. Download it immediately and verify all details (name, photograph, exam date, shift, centre address, paper). If any detail is incorrect, contact NTA before the exam day.

Q1. When will the JEE Main 2027 notification be released? Based on NTA's pattern (October 28 in 2024, October 31 in 2025), the JEE Main 2027 notification for Session 1 is expected in the last week of October 2026. This page will be updated immediately upon the official release.
Q2. Where can I download the JEE Main 2027 Information Brochure? The official Information Brochure will be available exclusively at jeemain.nta.nic.in once released. It will be a free PDF download requiring no login.
Q3. Will the JEE Main 2027 notification include both Session 1 and Session 2 dates? Yes. NTA has been releasing exam dates for both sessions in the single October notification since 2023. The 2027 notification is expected to follow the same format.
Q4. Is the Session 2 notification released separately? No. Session 2 does not have a separate notification. The main brochure (released with Session 1) covers both sessions. Session 2 registration opens in February 2027 using the same NTA portal, and candidates who registered for Session 1 can directly pay the Session 2 fee without re-registering.
Q5. Can I appear in Session 2 if I missed Session 1 registration? Yes. Candidates who did not register for Session 1 can register fresh for Session 2 when that window opens in February 2027. They will need to complete the full registration process from scratch.
Q6. Is there any change expected in the JEE Main 2027 notification compared to 2026? No changes have been announced by NTA as of May 2026. The 2027 exam is expected to follow the same pattern as 2026. However, NTA can announce changes in the official notification. Candidates must read the 2027 brochure in full rather than assuming continuity with 2026 in every detail.
Q7. What should I do right now (May 2026) while waiting for the notification? Use this time to complete your syllabus. The JEE Main 2027 syllabus is available now. Begin preparation using the JEE Main Syllabus Tracker, solve chapter-wise PYQs from the JEE Main PYQ page, and start mock tests from the JEE Main Test Series. Waiting for the notification to start preparation is the single biggest strategic mistake a JEE aspirant can make.
The JEE Main 2027 notification will arrive in October 2026. Between now and then, candidates have approximately 17 months of dedicated preparation time. This is the most valuable resource in the entire JEE preparation journey.
