JEE Advanced Exam Centers 2027

JEE Advanced 2027 is expected to be conducted by IIT Delhi under the coordination of the Joint Admission Board (JAB). In 2026, JEE Advanced was conducted by IIT Roorkee across 221 cities in India and 2 international cities - Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Kathmandu (Nepal). The 2027 exam is expected to follow a similar scope of city coverage. Candidates who qualify JEE Main 2027 and register for JEE Advanced can choose 10 exam cities in order of preference during the application process. The organizing IIT then allots a specific exam center within one of the chosen cities based on availability.

Note: The official JEE Advanced 2027 exam city list will be published by IIT Delhi along with the official information brochure on jeeadv.ac.in. The table below reflects cities that had JEE Advanced exam centers in 2026 and are expected to continue for 2027. The complete list of 220+ cities will be confirmed in the official brochure.

Tabulated below are major exam cities expected for JEE Advanced 2027 (based on 2026 data):

Note: Although candidates fill their preference of JEE Advanced exam city while filling the application form, the organizing IIT reserves the final right to allocate test centers. In case of any unforeseen events - lack of accommodation at a particular center, technical issues, or other logistical constraints - the exam conducting authority reserves the right to add or remove any city from the list.

JEE Advanced 2027 Exam Center Allotment Process

The JEE Advanced 2027 exam center allotment is carried out by the organizing IIT (expected: IIT Delhi) under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board (JAB). Unlike most national entrance exams that allow 2-4 city preferences, JEE Advanced requires candidates to choose 10 exam cities in order of preference. This wider preference window significantly reduces the chance of being allotted a city far from the candidate’s home. The allotment process works as follows:

• 10 city preferences during registration: Candidates choose 10 exam cities in order of preference while filling the JEE Advanced 2027 application form. Cities should be listed with the most preferred city first.
• Center allotment by organizing IIT: The organizing IIT (IIT Delhi, for 2027) allots a specific exam center within one of the 10 chosen cities based on seat availability and candidate registration data.
• City intimation slip: Before the admit card is released, candidates receive a city intimation slip confirming the allotted exam city. This gives candidates time to arrange travel and stay.
• Admit card with full center details: The JEE Advanced 2027 Admit Card carries the complete exam center address, seat number, and reporting time for both Paper 1 and Paper 2.

Note: Candidates who choose an international city (Abu Dhabi or Kathmandu, subject to confirmation for 2027) are allotted only that international center and are not given an additional India-based city preference.

How to check JEE Advanced Exam Center 2027 Allotted?

After a candidate has successfully filled the JEE Advanced 2027 application form, the organizing IIT announces the exam city allotted to each candidate. The allotted exam city first appears on the JEE Advanced 2027 City Intimation Slip, which is released before the admit card. Full center details - including the center name, address, and reporting time - are available on the admit card itself. Students are going to be able to access both through the candidate login on the official JEE Advanced portal.

The steps to check the allotted JEE Advanced exam center 2027 are as follows:

• Step 1: Visit the official website of JEE Advanced at jeeadv.ac.in.
• Step 2: Click on the "Candidate Login" or "Admit Card" link on the homepage.
• Step 3: Enter your JEE Advanced 2027 registration number and date of birth.
• Step 4: Click on "Submit" to access the candidate portal.
• Step 5: Download the JEE Advanced 2027 Admit Card and note the allotted exam center name, full address, and reporting time for both papers.

Note: Candidates are required to appear for the test only at the designated exam center mentioned on their admit card. Appearing at a different center is not permitted and will result in disqualification from JEE Advanced 2027.

JEE Advanced 2027 Exam Center Change: Is It Allowed?

JEE Advanced does not offer a center change facility once the allotment is made. This has been the consistent policy across all recent cycles. Once the exam city is confirmed on the city intimation slip or admit card, it is final. Candidates cannot request a shift to a different center or city for any reason - including health, distance, or personal circumstance.

This is precisely why JEE Advanced allows 10 city preferences during registration. Choosing cities realistically - closest to home first - gives candidates the best chance of a convenient allotment. Candidates are strongly advised not to treat the 10-preference list casually.
