JEE Main 2027 Registration Eligibility

Candidates must fulfil the following requirements to be eligible for the JEE Main 2027 exam:
  • Age Requirements: There won't be any age limitations. Candidates must, however, meet all age requirements set forth by the institution where they wish to enroll.
  • Qualifications: Candidates must have passed the Intermediate test from any accredited board or its equivalent.
  • Accepted qualifications: Recognized 10+2 boards, intermediate/pre-university, NDA, NIOS (minimum 5 subjects), AIU-equivalent boards, HSC vocational, a 3-year AICTE/state board diploma, GCE A-level, Cambridge/IB, and BOSSE Sikkim.
  • Subject Requirement: The candidates must pass the 12th grade with five subjects, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, language, technical vocational, etc.
  • Year of passing: You can apply if you passed Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2025 or 2026, or are appearing in 2027. Candidates who passed in 2024 or earlier are not eligible
  • Limit of attempts: You can take JEE Main up to 6 times: two sessions a year for three consecutive years.
  • Nationality: Indian nationals, OCI cardholders and foreign nationals can apply. Foreign nationals, including OCI, must upload a scanned non-Indian passport.
  • State code of eligibility: it depends on the state where Class XII was passed, not on domicile. For example, a Noida resident who passed Class XII from Delhi has the Delhi code.
  • NIOS/BOSSE: State of the study centre.
  • OCI: an OCI who passed Class XII in India is treated like Indian nationals. An OCI who passed abroad is eligible for All India quota seats only, not Home State quota.
  • Mixed-subject case: if Class XII was passed with PCB in 2025 and with Maths in 2026, 2025 counts as the passing year.
  • Institute criteria: NTA only conducts the exam. Each institute sets its own admission eligibility, so check it on the institute's website.

How to Register: MeriPehchaan Login, DigiLocker and Aadhaar

For JEE Main registration 2027, NTA has enabled sign-up through MeriPehchaan, the Government of India's national single sign-on platform. It connects with identity providers such as DigiLocker, JanParichay and e-Pramaan. You can create an account with your name, date of birth and mobile number, and complete eKYC using Aadhaar, PAN, Driving Licence or APAAR.

Keep your details ready

  • NTA advises candidates to update their Aadhaar record with a recent photograph, name, date of birth, gender and address, because details may be verified.
  • Use your own mobile number and email ID. NTA sends all important updates only to these, and one mobile number and email can be used for one application form only.
  • Name, date of birth, category, gender, PwD status and exam cities are treated as final once you submit the form. Only the fields NTA enables during the correction window can be edited.

Two ways for verification

  • Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number to verify your identity. Your registered mobile number will receive an OTP from the system. To finish the verification process, enter this OTP. Your name, birthdate, and photo will be automatically retrieved by the system from the UIDAI database.
  • You must use the portal to access your DigiLocker account to complete the verification process. You can choose and submit the necessary documents straight from your DigiLocker account after authenticating.

No Correction Facility for ID Details

There will be no opportunity for Aadhaar or identification information to be updated after your application is submitted. This is a stringent policy. After the final submission, you are unable to modify your name, birthdate, or photo.
