Paper 1 pattern for B.E. and B.Tech

  • A computer-based test of 3 hours, in shifts from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon and 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
  • 75 questions: 25 each in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
  • Each subject has 20 multiple-choice questions in Section A and 5 numerical-answer questions in Section B.
  • Both sections have negative marking for wrong answers.
  • The paper is offered in 13 languages, including Hindi and English.

JEE (Main) Paper 1 is also the qualifying exam for JEE (Advanced), the entrance test for the IITs. What comes after Paper 1, and what is still unannounced for 2027, is on JEE Advanced 2027 exam date.

What is the last date for JEE Main 2027 registration?

For Session 1, the last date is 22 November 2026, up to 11:50 pm, and the fee must be paid by then. A late window with a ₹500 late fee runs from 23 to 26 November 2026, and form corrections are open from 27 to 29 November. NTA will open Session 2 registration separately and has not given its dates in the notice.

What are the JEE Main 2027 eligibility criteria?

News reports of the 2027 information bulletin say that students who passed Class 12 in 2025 or 2026, or who appear in 2027, can apply, and that there is no age limit. Treat that as a report, not the rule. Read the eligibility section of the JEE (Main) 2027 Information Bulletin on jeemain.nta.nic.in before you fill the form, because the bulletin is the final word.

Is the JEE Main syllabus 2027 Hindi medium different?

No. Choosing Hindi changes the language of the question paper, not the syllabus. NTA offers JEE (Main) 2027 in 13 languages, including Hindi and English, and the syllabus is the one in the JEE (Main) 2027 Information Bulletin on jeemain.nta.nic.in. You pick the language when you fill the application form, so choose the one you read fastest under time pressure.
