The application window closes on November 22

Candidates can submit applications until November 22 at 11:50 pm. That is the closing time for the main application window. The schedule gives a specific time as well as a date, so applicants should distinguish the deadline from the date alone. The registration process is for JEE Main 2027 Session 1.^¹

A late application window runs from November 23 to November 26 for candidates who miss the main deadline. Submitting during that period carries an additional Rs 500 fee. The last date to pay the application fee during the late window is its closing day, in 2026.^¹

Corrections and exam details follow the application period

The application correction window runs from November 27 to November 29, 2026. It opens after the late application period closes. The schedule identifies this as a separate correction period; it does not describe what information candidates can change or how to make a correction.^¹

The examination city announcement is scheduled for December 30, 2026, followed by admit-card release on January 13, 2027. These are listed as separate stages before the examination. The schedule provides the dates for both announcements but does not specify how candidates will receive either item.^¹

Session 1 exams run across six January dates

JEE Main Session 1 examinations are scheduled for January 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 28, 2027. The listed dates span the final part of January, with the last examination date separated from the preceding dates. The schedule states the examination dates but does not assign a particular paper or candidate group to each date.^¹

For Paper 1, the first shift runs from 9 am to noon and the second from 3 pm to 6 pm. Paper 2A and Paper 2B are both scheduled in the first shift, from 9 am to noon. The stated timings distinguish the two Paper 1 shifts from the single listed shift for the two other papers.^¹

The three papers have different question counts

Paper 1 contains 75 questions covering Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Paper 2A contains 77 questions across Mathematics, Aptitude and Drawing. The two papers therefore have different question totals and different subject combinations: Paper 1 includes Physics and Chemistry, while Paper 2A includes Aptitude and Drawing.^¹

Paper 2B contains 100 questions covering Mathematics, Aptitude and Planning. Negative marking applies to incorrect answers in both sections of each paper. The marking rule is stated for both sections across the papers; the schedule does not give a separate penalty amount or describe a different rule for any one paper.^¹

For Paper 1, the first shift runs from 9 am to noon and the second from 3 pm to 6 pm.

Timing and Fees Matter

If you aim to sit for JEE Main 2027, schedule your application before November twenty‑second at eleven fifty pm to avoid the Rs five‑hundred late fee; missing that window means you must pay the extra fee and the final payment date is November twenty‑six, 2026. Should you need to amend details, you have a three‑day correction period from November twenty‑seven to twenty‑nine, giving a narrow window to fix errors before the exam schedule solidifies.^¹

Plan your study calendar around the six exam days in January—twenty to twenty‑four and twenty‑eight—allocating revision blocks that align with the specific paper timings; Paper 1 has two shifts (nine to noon and three to six) while Papers 2A and 2B run only in the morning slot. Knowing each paper’s question count—seventy‑five for Paper 1, seventy‑seven for Paper 2A, one hundred for Paper 2B—and that negative marking applies to every incorrect answer lets you calibrate guessing strategies and time management for each session.^¹
