Step-by-Step: How to Apply for JEE Main 2027
The full application process takes place on jeemain.nta.ac.in. Follow all five steps without skipping any stage — incomplete applications are rejected automatically.
Step 1: New Registration (Create Your Login)
- Go to jeemain.nta.ac.in and click "JEE (Main) 2027 — Session 1 Registration" on the homepage.
- Click "New Registration" and read all instructions displayed on screen.
- Enter your name (as on Class 10 certificate), father’s name, date of birth, mobile number, and email ID.
- Set a strong password and immediately note down the Application Number generated — this is your login ID for all future steps.
- You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile and email; verify both to activate the account.
Step 2: Fill the Application Form
- Log in with your Application Number and password.
- Fill in personal details: nationality, state of eligibility, category, and PwD status if applicable.
- Enter academic details: Class 10 board, roll number, and Class 12 board, subjects, and year of passing (or "appearing" for 2027 students).
- Choose up to four preferred exam cities in order of preference — NTA allots a centre from this list.
- Select the paper(s): Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech), Paper 2A (B.Arch), or Paper 2B (B.Planning). You may opt for more than one.
- Choose your preferred medium of the paper (English, Hindi, or applicable regional language).
Step 3: Upload Required Documents
- Upload your passport-size photograph: JPG/JPEG format, white background, face clearly visible, file size 10–200 KB.

- Upload a category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) or PwD certificate if applicable — check NTA’s format requirements carefully.
- Preview all uploaded files before proceeding; blurry or incorrect uploads cause rejection at verification.
Step 4: Pay the Application Fee

Step 5: Print and Save the Confirmation Page
- After successful payment a confirmation page is auto-generated with your application details.
