New Delhi, November 11: Over 5.72 lakh students have registered for the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 exam, with more than 4.07 lakh candidates having submitted their registration fees. The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced this information on Tuesday, stating that a total of 572,416 candidates have registered for JEE Main 2027. Out of these, 430,382 have submitted their application forms, while 407,664 candidates have paid the application fee. Additionally, 405,547 candidates have downloaded their confirmation pages. The last date for application is November 22, 2026. Candidates can complete the registration process on the official website jeemain.nta.nic.in. Those who have not yet completed their application process are advised to do so before the deadline by submitting their forms, paying the fee, and downloading the confirmation page.
Exam Dates
The JEE Main Session 1 exams will be held on January 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 28, 2027. The examination will take place over a total of six days, conducted in two shifts: the morning shift from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and the afternoon shift from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
It is important to note that JEE Main consists of two papers – Paper 1 for BE and BTech admissions, and Paper 2 for BArch and B Planning courses. JEE Main Paper 1 is conducted for undergraduate engineering programs like BE and BTech in NITs, IIITs, and other centrally funded technical institutions (CFTIs). Meanwhile, JEE Main Paper 2 is held for admissions to BArch and B Planning courses across the country.
Correction in Application Form
If any candidate makes a significant error while filling out the application form, there is no need to panic. The NTA has implemented a new rule allowing students to fill out a new application form if they have made a mistake. However, candidates must pay attention to certain details. Only the application that has been paid for and has a generated confirmation page will be considered valid. Each new application form will issue a new application number. Candidates will need to re-enter all information in the new form and re-upload their photo, signature, and necessary documents. The fee for the old application will not be refunded, nor will it be adjusted against the new application fee.

Three Major Changes in JEE Main 2027
1. New System for Identity Verification
This year, to enhance transparency in JEE Main, some changes have been made to the registration process. The NTA has introduced a new system for verifying identities, requiring candidates to register using one of the digital services provided by the Government of India, such as DigiLocker, Meri Pehchan, or JanParichay. Candidates must use these platforms to verify their identity and academic documents. The aim of this system is to reduce errors in the information provided by candidates, prevent fraudsters from submitting fake applications, and streamline the entire document verification process.
2. Opportunity to Apply with Late Fee
This time, the National Testing Agency has provided students with the opportunity to apply with a late fee. If a student is unable to apply by November 22, they will have the chance to fill out the form from November 23 to November 26, but they will need to pay a late fee of ₹500. The registration process will close after November 26.
