Who Should Track This Announcement?
The JEE Main is the qualifying exam for admission to NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded technical institutions. It is also the screening stage for JEE Advanced, which decides entry to the IITs. Students in Class 12 appearing for the 2027 board exams should treat this schedule as a firm planning anchor.
Droppers and repeaters must also align their preparation timeline. Session 1 falls right in the middle of board exam preparation for many aspirants. Balancing both will be a key concern for Class 12 students this year.
