BEET 2027 Age Limit
The conducting authority fixes the age limit to ensure the exam remains accessible to students who have recently completed schooling. Age is calculated as on the date specified in the official notification, typically the date of admission.
- General and EWS students must be between 17 and 25 years.
- OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) students receive a 3-year upper age relaxation, placing the limit at 28 years.
- SC, ST, and PwD students receive a 5-year relaxation, placing the upper limit at 30 years.
Date of birth must be supported by the Class 10 (matriculation) board certificate as primary proof. No other document substitutes for this requirement. Students must ensure their birth date falls within the prescribed bracket before submitting the BEET 2027 application form.
| Category | Minimum Age | Maximum Age |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 17 years | 25 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 17 years | 28 years |
| SC / ST / PwD | 17 years | 30 years |
BEET 2027 Educational Qualification
Students must have completed or be appearing in the final year of Class 12 from a recognised board. The subject combination and minimum marks threshold differ by the programme applied for.
For B.Tech or BE first-year admission, you must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as core subjects in Class 12. Students from the Biology stream without Mathematics in Class 12 are not eligible for engineering programmes under BEET. Students appearing in Class 12 board exams in 2027 can apply provisionally; they must meet the marks requirement at the time of document verification.
| Entry Level | Required Qualification | Minimum Marks — General | Minimum Marks — Reserved |
|---|---|---|---|
| B.Tech / BE — 1st Year | Class 12 with PCM from a recognised board | 45% in PCM | 40% in PCM |
| Lateral Entry — 2nd Year | 3-year Polytechnic Diploma (relevant branch) | 45% overall | 40% overall |
Class 12 must be from a board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) or a state board affiliated with COBSE. Students whose Class 12 results are awaited are provisionally eligible and must secure the required percentage to confirm eligibility for counselling.
BEET 2027 Number of Attempts
BEET caps the total number of times a student can appear in the exam. This limit applies cumulatively across all years and cannot be reset for any reason.
| Category | Maximum Permitted Attempts |
|---|---|
| General | 3 |
| EWS | 3 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 4 |
| SC / ST | 5 |
| PwD | 5 |
An attempt is counted from any year in which you registered and received a hall ticket, even if you did not appear on exam day. Students who have already appeared in BEET in previous years must count those attempts before applying for BEET 2027. Once the maximum attempt limit is reached, no further application is accepted regardless of age. Students who believe their attempt count has been recorded incorrectly should raise a grievance with the conducting body before submitting the BEET 2027 application.
Category-wise Relaxation in BEET 2027
Reserved category students receive relaxation in age limit, minimum qualifying marks, and permitted number of attempts. These relaxations are based on BEET 2026 norms and are expected to remain consistent for BEET 2027.
| Category | Age Relaxation | Marks Relaxation | Extra Attempts |
|---|---|---|---|
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | +3 years (up to 28) | 5% (minimum 40%) | +1 (total 4) |
| SC / ST | +5 years (up to 30) | 5% (minimum 40%) | +2 (total 5) |
| PwD | +5 years (up to 30) | 5% (minimum 40%) | +2 (total 5) |
| EWS | No relaxation | No relaxation | No relaxation |
To claim OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) relaxation, the OBC-NCL certificate must be issued by a competent state authority and dated on or after April 1, 2026. An expired OBC certificate or one that does not specify non-creamy layer status will not be accepted. SC and ST certificates must be issued by the relevant district authority in the home state.
