How to Fill the JEE Main Application Form 2027? Step-by-Step Guide

Is JEE tough? Yes, but the level of difficulty depends on three factors: the quality of your preparation, the specific exam you are taking, like JEE Main or JEE Advanced, and your starting point. Preparing for JEE is far easier for a student with a strong grasp of fundamentals and consistent study habits than for one who starts late and studies without a plan.

How to Fill JEE Main Application Form 2027 Online

The application process has seven practical stages. These cover registration, personal details, paper selection, document uploads, fee payment and final submission. You should complete them in order. They follow the bulletin’s four official steps: registration, application form, fee payment, and confirmation page. You can finish them together or at different times.

Step 1: Open the Official Website

  • Go to jeemain.nta.nic.in.
  • Find the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration link.
  • Read the instructions before you start.

Step 2: Complete Registration

  • Log in using your own DigiLocker, JanParichay or e-Pramaan (MeriPehchaan) credentials. Complete Re-KYC through DigiLocker before filling out your application form. This helps ensure that your latest identity details are available during registration.
  • Enter your name and date of birth exactly as they appear on your Class 10 certificate or marksheet. Use your own or your parent's or guardian's mobile number and email address.
  • Create a password with 8 to 13 characters. Include one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one special character.
  • Save your application number and password securely. If you submit a fresh application, NTA generates a new application number. Only the latest application with successful fee payment and a generated confirmation page will be considered valid.

Step 3: Fill in Personal and Academic Details

  • Enter your name, your parents’ names, gender, date of birth, address and category.
  • Add your Class 10 and Class 12 details.
  • Select your Persons with Disabilities (PwD) or Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) status and nationality, wherever applicable.

NTA treats these details as final after you submit the form. NTA does not edit them for you.

Step 4: Choose Your Paper and Exam Preferences

  • Select Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech), Paper 2A (B.Arch), Paper 2B (B.Planning), or a combination.
  • Choose your medium. The paper comes in English plus one of 12 other languages.
  • Select up to four examination cities in your preferred order. Follow the geographical restrictions specified in the JEE Main 2027 Information Bulletin.

You cannot change your medium after the correction window closes.

Step 5: Upload Your Photograph, Signature and Documents

  • Take a live photograph with your webcam. If your device has no webcam, scan the QR code with your phone.
  • Use a white background and adequate lighting when capturing your photograph. Keep your face clearly visible, with at least 80% of your face showing, including both ears. Remove your mask before taking the photograph.
  • Upload each file in the format and size shown in the table above.
  • Check that every file is clear before you save it.

Upload your own photograph, signature, and certificates. Anything else counts as unfair means.

Step 6: Review Your Form and Pay the Fee

  • Check your name, date of birth, category, and paper.
  • Check the fee for your category and paper in the table below.
  • Pay by net banking, debit card, credit card or UPI. Save the payment proof.

Step 7: Submit the Form and Download the Confirmation Page

  • Submit the form only after your review.
  • Download the confirmation page and print or save a copy. It appears only after a successful payment.
  • Keep your application number and payment receipt safe.

If your confirmation page does not appear, verify your transaction status first. Contact your bank or the NTA helpdesk if the payment remains unresolved.
