JEE Main 2027 eligibility criteria
Candidates who have passed their Class 12 or an equivalent qualifying examination in 2025 or 2026 are eligible to apply for JEE Main 2027.
Students scheduled to appear for their Class 12 or equivalent qualifying examination in 2027 can also register, provided they meet the eligibility conditions specified by NTA.
There is no upper age limit for appearing in JEE Main. However, candidates must meet the applicable academic and subject-specific requirements for admission to their preferred undergraduate programs.
For admission to the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and other participating institutions, candidates are generally required to secure at least 75% marks in their Class 12 examination or rank within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates in their respective boards.
The minimum Class 12 marks requirement is relaxed to 65% for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) categories.
Applicants must also satisfy the qualifying examination and subject combination requirements applicable to their chosen courses and institutions.
Meeting the eligibility criteria for appearing in JEE Main does not necessarily guarantee admission to a participating institution.
Candidates must also meet the relevant admission requirements, including the prescribed Class 12 marks criteria and subject requirements, wherever applicable.
