JEE Main Exam Date Trends: Last 5 Years

• JEE Main Session 1 has been conducted in January in four of the last five years.
• Session 2 has generally been held in April, with 2022 being the major exception.
• From 2023 to 2026, the Session 1 dates have largely remained in the third or fourth week of January.
• Session 2 has generally taken place between the first and second weeks of April.
• Based on this trend, JEE Main 2027 Session 1 in the last week of January and Session 2 in the first week of April is a reasonable expectation, although NTA has not confirmed these dates yet.

How Many Days Are There Between JEE Main Session 1 and Session 2?

The gap between the two JEE Main sessions has generally been around two months, giving candidates additional time to revise and improve their performance. The 2022 cycle was an exception because the exam schedule was significantly delayed.

• The gap between Session 1 and Session 2 was around 62 days in 2025 and 2026.
• The gap was slightly longer in 2023 and 2024, at around 64 and 62 days, respectively.
• JEE Main 2022 had a much shorter gap of around 22 days because both sessions were conducted later than the usual January-April schedule.
• Based on recent cycles, candidates can generally expect around 2 months between the two attempts.

JEE Main Session 1 Exam Date Trend: January Schedule Analysis

• The JEE Main 2027 Session 1 examination is scheduled to begin on January 20, making it earlier than the January 21 start in 2026, January 22 in 2025, and January 24 in 2023 and 2024.
• Unlike the 2023 and 2024 schedules, the announced 2027 dates fall entirely within January.
• The exam is scheduled across six dates, with January 28 as the final examination date.
• Candidates should follow NTA's published schedule rather than rely on historical trends to estimate the exam window.

JEE Main Session 2 Exam Date Trend: April Schedule Analysis

The April schedule has also remained consistent in recent years, with JEE Main Session 2 conducted in April from 2023 onwards. The 2022 examination was again an exception, with Session 2 held in July.

• Session 2 began between April 2 and April 6 in the 2023-2026 cycles.
• The examination generally continued for around one week, depending on the number of candidates and shifts.
• JEE Main 2025 and 2026 both started Session 2 on April 2, showing how closely the recent schedules have followed each other.
• Based on this pattern, the first week of April 2027 is a reasonable expectation for Session 2.
