JEE Advanced Registration 2027

Indian nationals and OCI/PIO(I) candidates generally must qualify through JEE Main. Foreign nationals and OCI/PIO(F) candidates can register directly for JEE Advanced subject to the separate foreign-national eligibility rules.”

This is the main difference between JEE Main and JEE Advanced registration. JEE Main accepts any eligible Class 12 candidate. JEE Advanced accepts only candidates who already cleared the JEE Main cutoff.

As of 13 September 2026, no JEE Advanced 2027-specific information exists yet. This is a pattern-based estimate, not a confirmed date. The confirmed pattern below comes from JEE Advanced 2026, run by IIT Roorkee and held on Sunday 17 May 2026. Track every confirmed 2027 date on the JEE Advanced 2027 dates page. See how the exam itself works on the JEE Advanced 2027 overview page.

The 2026 cycle is the closest confirmed reference.

JEE Advanced never scores on percentile. Every figure here, present or future, is a rank or a rupee amount. The eligibility rules come next. They decide whether you can reach the registration form at all.

As of 13 September 2026, JEE Advanced 2027 registration dates are not announced. IIT Delhi has not opened a portal, released a brochure, or named a date. The table below shows the exact registration dates for the last three years. Use it to see the pattern behind the tentative 2027 window further down this section.

Registration opened in the last week of April and closed in the first week of May in all three years. Each window ran for 9 to 11 days.

IIT Delhi is the expected host for JEE Advanced 2027, following a seven-year IIT rotation, though it has not confirmed this as of 13 September 2026. Based on the three-year pattern, registrations will most likely open in the last week of April 2027 and close in the first week of May 2027.

The exact 2027 registration dates will likely appear when IIT Delhi releases the JEE Advanced 2027 Information Brochure. The host institute has officially confirmed the exam date by early December in past cycles: IIT Kanpur on 2 December 2024, IIT Roorkee on 5-6 December 2025. Its full Information Brochure, with the complete registration schedule, has then followed about three to four weeks later. Expect the confirmed 2027 registration dates around early December 2026 to early January 2027.

That window ran about 10 days before the extension. This is shorter than usual for this exam. Extensions have typically added 3 to 5 days beyond the original close date, rarely more. Expect a similarly tight turnaround for 2027, once JEE Main 2027 results are out.

You need a JEE Main 2027 rank inside the top 2,50,000, category-wise in Paper 1, before you register. This rule decides most of what follows in this section.

IIT Roorkee confirmed this category-wise split for the 2026 cutoff of 2,50,000. Careers360's own eligibility page, citing the same jeeadv.ac.in notification, lists identical numbers:

Add the five main rows and you get about 2,37,500, not a clean 2,50,000. IIT Roorkee publishes the actual count of candidates who qualified that year, not a rounded target. Expect a similarly close, imperfect split for 2027 once JEE Main 2027 results are in.

The rest of the 2026 eligibility rules have not changed for several years:

• Age: Born on or after 1 October 2001. SC, ST and PwD candidates get a 5-year relaxation, to 1 October 1996.
• Attempts: Maximum two attempts, in two consecutive years.
• Class 12 timing: Your first attempt at the Class 12 board exam must fall in 2025 or 2026. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are compulsory subjects. You are not eligible if you passed Class 12 in 2024 or earlier.
• Class 12 marks: 75% aggregate for General and OBC-NCL candidates, or the top 20 percentile of your own board. SC, ST and PwD candidates need 65%, or the same top-20-percentile route.
• Seat history: You must not have accepted an IIT seat before, under any JoSAA-listed programme.
• OCI/PIO status: Not eligible for reservation benefits of any category.

None of these thresholds has an official 2027 version yet. Treat the list above as last year's confirmed pattern, not a locked promise. jeeadv.ac.in will publish the 2027 figures in its own information brochure, expected alongside the 2027 registration window.

JEE Advanced registration pulls your personal, academic and contact details straight from your JEE Main 2027 application. You do not fill a form from scratch. You confirm those details, add a few exam-specific fields, upload two files, and pay.

Once you submit and pay, the form locks. The form correction section below explains exactly what that means. After registration, the next milestone is the JEE Advanced 2027 admit card. The organising IIT releases it once the registration window closes.

A step-by-step walkthrough of the registration form and the documents it asks for, steps that rarely change year to year, so this is worth watching once 2027's window opens.

The authorities have not notified a JEE Advanced 2027 fee yet. The 2026 fee is the working reference until IIT Delhi releases its 2027 brochure. jeeadv.ac.in's own fee page confirms it.

Fee at exam centres in India, 2026:

Fee at exam centres abroad, 2026:

The Indian fee did not move between 2025 and 2026. The foreign and abroad-centre fee did rise, in some slabs by USD 50 to 100. Both the 2025 and 2026 official brochures confirm this jump side by side.

The fee excludes any service charge or processing fee your bank or payment gateway adds. Once paid, it is non-refundable and non-transferable, whatever happens to your candidature afterward. Pay by debit card, credit card or net banking, on the registration portal itself.

Every applicant must upload a photograph and a signature. Everything else in the list below depends on your category or situation:

• Recent passport-size colour photograph
• Signature, scanned from black ink on white paper
• Class 10 certificate or birth certificate, for date-of-birth proof
• JEE Main 2027 admit card and scorecard
• Class 12 roll number and board details
• OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST or PwD certificate, or the equivalent declaration form, if you claim that category
• Nationality certificate, for foreign, OCI or PIO candidates
• PwD certificate, if you claim the 5% horizontal reservation

Keep the physical originals within reach while you fill the form, even for documents you do not upload. Every name and date you type must match your certificates exactly. A mismatch here is a common reason a registered candidate might face issues at document verification for JoSAA counselling.

JEE Advanced's own Information Brochure does not publish exact file-size or pixel numbers for the photograph and signature upload. Its registration and fee pages do not publish them either, at least not before the portal opens for that year.

These qualitative requirements have stayed consistent across cycles:

• Photograph: Use a recent colour photograph, passport-size, against a plain light background. Keep your face and ears clearly visible, with no cap or sunglasses.
• Signature: Sign in black ink on plain white paper, then scan it. Do not type it or use a stamp.
• Format: Upload both files as JPG or JPEG on the JEE Advanced portal.

The candidate portal itself shows the exact file-size ceiling and pixel dimensions. You see them only after you log in with your JEE Main credentials, during the live registration window. IIT Delhi's brochure or portal will confirm the exact 2027 figures closer to registration. Until then, treat any specific KB number quoted for JEE Advanced 2027 as unverified.
