JEE Main 2027 application form registration is expected to open in October–November 2026 on the official NTA portal jeemain.nta.ac.in — students must complete all five steps online within the announced window to secure their seat.

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)

1. Go to jeemain.nta.ac.in and click "JEE (Main) 2027 — Session 1 Registration" on the homepage.
2. Click "New Registration" and read all instructions displayed on screen.
3. Enter your name (as on Class 10 certificate), father’s name, date of birth, mobile number, and email ID.
4. Set a strong password and immediately note down the Application Number generated — this is your login ID for all future steps.
5. You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile and email; verify both to activate the account.

Step 2: Fill the Application Form

1. Log in with your Application Number and password.
2. Fill in personal details: nationality, state of eligibility, category, and PwD status if applicable.
3. Enter academic details: Class 10 board, roll number, and Class 12 board, subjects, and year of passing (or "appearing" for 2027 students).
4. Choose up to four preferred exam cities in order of preference — NTA allots a centre from this list.
5. 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.
6. Choose your preferred medium of the paper (English, Hindi, or applicable regional language).

Step 3: Upload Required Documents

1. Upload your passport-size photograph: JPG/JPEG format, white background, face clearly visible, file size 10–200 KB.
2. Upload your signature: JPG/JPEG, black ink on white paper, file size 4–30 KB. Signatures on ruled paper are not accepted.
3. Upload a category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) or PwD certificate if applicable — check NTA’s format requirements carefully.
4. Preview all uploaded files before proceeding; blurry or incorrect uploads cause rejection at verification.

Step 4: Pay the Application Fee

1. Proceed to the fee payment page after a successful document upload.
2. Pay online using a credit card, debit card, net banking, or UPI.
3. Double-check your category and paper selection before paying — the fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.
4. A payment confirmation message appears on screen after a successful transaction.

Step 5: Print and Save the Confirmation Page

1. After successful payment a confirmation page is auto-generated with your application details.
2. Download and save a PDF copy — you do not submit it anywhere but it serves as proof of registration.
3. NTA does not send a physical acknowledgement; the digital confirmation page is the only receipt.
