The National Testing Agency (NTA) has listed the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 exam dates in its examination calendar. The paper will be held on January 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30, 2027. January 31 is kept as a buffer day.
The calendar was issued on September 16, 2026. NTA has marked the dates as tentative, so students should wait for the detailed information bulletin and admit-card notices before treating the schedule as final.
JEE Main 2027 Session 1 dates
| Exam detail | Date |
|---|---|
| JEE Main Session 1, January 2027 | January 22 to 24, 2027 |
| JEE Main Session 1, second set of dates | January 28 to 30, 2027 |
| Buffer day listed by NTA | January 31, 2027 |
| Dates in the NTA calendar | Tentative |
The six exam dates do not mean that every student will write the paper on all six days. NTA will allot a particular date and shift to each candidate after the application process. The exact paper, shift and exam centre will be shown later on the admit card.
What the calendar tells students
Students preparing for engineering admissions can now plan their revision around a clear January window. Finish the first full syllabus revision before the first week of January and keep time for mock tests, formula revision and error checks. The dates are useful for planning, but the calendar does not replace the JEE Main information bulletin.
NTA has not announced the Session 1 application opening date, last date, fee or correction window in this calendar. Those details will need to be checked in the separate JEE Main 2027 notice. Do not rely on dates shared by coaching pages or social media until NTA publishes them.
Is the JEE Main 2027 schedule final?
No. The NTA calendar carries a note that the dates are tentative and can change because of administrative, academic, statutory or other reasons. If NTA changes a date, the latest notice on the official NTA website will take priority over this calendar entry.
What is not announced yet?
| Detail | Position on the inspected NTA calendar |
|---|---|
| Session 1 application start | Not given |
| Session 1 application deadline | Not given |
| Application fee | Not given |
| Correction window | Not given |
| Candidate-wise date and shift | Will be issued later through the admit card |
How to use the dates for preparation
Make a weekly plan that ends with a full mock test every week. After each test, write down the questions you got wrong and the reason for the mistake. Keep one short revision list for formulas, reactions and important concepts. This makes the last two weeks more useful than starting new chapters at the end.
Keep your Class 10 and Class 12 details, recent photograph and signature files ready, but upload them only after NTA releases the 2027 form instructions. File size, format and name rules can change between application cycles.
What to do next
- Save January 22 to 24 and January 28 to 30, 2027 in your study calendar.
- Complete one full syllabus revision before January and use the remaining time for mock tests.
- Check the NTA website for the JEE Main 2027 information bulletin and application notice.
- Do not pay a fee or upload documents through a link shared on social media.
- After you apply, keep checking the official portal for your city information, admit card, date and shift.
