Official Registration Website

Official JEE Main website: jeemain.nta.nic.in/

JEE Main 2027 Session 1 application portal: examinationservices.nic.in/JeeMaink2027/root/Home.aspx

Use only the official NTA portal. Avoid unofficial websites, agents or links received through unverified messages.

Step 1: Open the official portal

Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in and select the JEE (Main) 2027 Session 1 application link. Read the information bulletin and instructions before starting.

Step 2: Complete new candidate registration

Choose the new registration option. Enter the requested personal details, contact information and address. Provide a working mobile number and email address that you can access.

Step 3: Save login credentials

Complete the authentication steps shown on the portal and securely retain the application number and password. Do not share passwords or OTPs.

Step 4: Log in and fill the application form

Enter candidate details, academic/Class 10 and Class 12 or equivalent information, category and eligibility details, paper choice, examination city preferences and other requested fields. Match details with official records.

Step 5: Upload documents and images

Upload the photograph, signature and any category/PwD or other certificate/document specifically requested by the current information bulletin. Follow the portal’s file format, size and image specifications exactly.

Step 6: Review every entry

Check spelling of name, date of birth, parents’ details, contact details, category, paper, exam cities and uploaded files. Correct mistakes before final submission wherever possible.

Step 7: Pay the application fee

Pay online using a payment method offered by the portal. The payable amount depends on the paper(s), candidate category, gender and examination centre location. Check the fee table in the current bulletin before paying.

Step 8: Confirm successful submission

After payment, check that the application status indicates successful submission/payment. If payment is pending or failed, follow the portal instructions rather than paying repeatedly without checking status.

Step 9: Download and save the confirmation page

Download and print/save the final confirmation page and fee receipt. Keep the application number, confirmation page and payment proof until the admission process is complete.

Step 10: Monitor updates

Log in and check the official website for correction-window instructions, city intimation slip, admit card, examination notices, answer key and result updates.

Documents and Details to Keep Ready

  • A valid mobile number and email address.
  • Candidate’s personal details and current/permanent address.
  • Class 10 details and roll/board information requested in the form.
  • Class 12 or equivalent details, if applicable, and qualifying-examination information.
  • Recent photograph and signature in the prescribed format.
  • Category/EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/PwD or other certificates, if applicable and requested.
  • A payment method supported by the portal.
  • Exam city preferences and paper/course choice.

Application Fee: Important Notes

The application fee is not identical for every candidate. It may vary according to the selected paper(s), gender, category and whether the examination centre is in India or outside India. The portal displays the amount payable for the candidate’s selection. Consult the official JEE Main 2027 Information Bulletin for the complete fee table and the late-fee rules. The late-application period is separate from the regular window and may involve an additional fee.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Waiting until the final hours to register or pay.
  • Entering a name, date of birth or category that conflicts with official records.
  • Using an email address or mobile number that cannot be accessed.
  • Uploading blurry, incorrectly cropped or incorrectly sized images/documents.
  • Assuming the form is submitted before checking payment and confirmation status.
  • Forgetting to download the confirmation page and payment receipt.
  • Relying on coaching websites or social media posts instead of the latest NTA notice.

After Registration: What Happens Next?

After the application window closes, candidates should watch the official website for the correction window (if provided), examination-city intimation slip and admit card. The city intimation slip is not the admit card. Carry the admit card and the identification/document items specified in the official exam-day instructions. Read the latest instructions carefully because requirements can change.
