JEE Main 2027 Eligibility Criteria
Candidates should check the official information bulletin before applying for JEE Main 2027. Eligibility depends on the qualifying examination, passing year, required subjects, and the course selected.
Nationality
Indian nationals can apply for JEE Main 2027. OCI (Overseas Citizen of India), NRI, and PIO (Persons of Indian Origin) cardholders can also apply with valid documentation. Foreign nationals may appear subject to the conditions in the official information bulletin. Students from Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, and Meghalaya may need to follow a separate registration procedure for certain CFTI seats.
Age Limit
Candidates should refer to the JEE Main 2027 information bulletin for the applicable age-related conditions. Admission requirements may also vary by institution, so candidates should check the eligibility rules of their preferred colleges.
| Category | Maximum Age | Age Relaxation |
|---|---|---|
| General / OBC-NCL / EWS | No upper age limit | NIL |
| SC / ST | No upper age limit | NIL |
| PwD | No upper age limit | NIL |
Academic Qualification
You must have passed or be appearing in Class XII (10+2) or an equivalent examination from a recognised board with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects (for Paper 1).
| Category | Minimum Qualification | Minimum Marks to Appear in JEE Main | Minimum Marks for NIT/IIIT/GFTI Admission |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / OBC-NCL / EWS | Class XII with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics from a recognised board | No minimum percentage required | 75% aggregate in Class XII |
| SC / ST / PwD | Class XII with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics from a recognised board | No minimum percentage required | 65% aggregate in Class XII |
| Appearing in Class XII (2027 batch) | Class XII appearing with PCM | Provisional eligibility granted | Must meet required aggregate before final admission |
Note: The 75% (or 65% for SC/ST/PwD) Class XII aggregate is an admission criterion for NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JoSAA counselling — it is NOT a condition for appearing in JEE Main itself. You can attempt JEE Main regardless of your Class XII percentage.
Passing Year Eligibility
Candidates must check the qualifying examination years accepted for JEE Main 2027 in the official information bulletin. Students appearing for their qualifying examination in 2027 should also verify the applicable conditions before submitting the application form.
Number of Attempts
JEE Main allows a maximum of 6 attempts spread over 3 consecutive years after passing Class XII — with 2 sessions per year (January and April). NTA does not grant extra attempts on the basis of category or exam cancellation.
Note: Your 3-consecutive-year attempt window begins from the first year you appear in JEE Main after passing Class XII. All 6 attempts must fall within this window. If you have already attempted JEE Main 5 or 6 times, verify your remaining eligibility carefully in the official JEE Main 2027 information bulletin before applying.
