The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the tentative examination schedule for JEE Main 2027 Session 1. The January session of the Joint Entrance Examination (Main) will be conducted on January 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30, 2027, while January 31, 2027 has been kept as a buffer date.

The JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration date has not been officially announced yet. NTA is expected to release a separate information bulletin containing the registration schedule, eligibility conditions, examination pattern, application procedure and other details. Based on the timeline followed for JEE Main 2026, the Session 1 application process is expected to begin in October 2026.
Candidates can use the following schedule as a reference while waiting for the detailed notification:
| Event | Date |
| JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration | October 2026, expected |
| Last date to apply | To be announced |
| Application correction window | To be announced |

| JEE Main Session 1 | January 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30, 2027 |
| Buffer date | January 31, 2027 |
The dates announced by NTA for Session 1 are tentative and may be changed because of administrative, academic, logistical or other unforeseen circumstances.
Once registration opens, candidates will have to submit their applications online through the official JEE Main website, jeemain.nta.nic.in. The detailed information bulletin will specify the application fee, eligibility requirements, documents and other instructions.
Candidates should keep essential documents ready in advance, including academic records, identification details, photographs and other information required for the online application. The NTA's previous JEE Main application notices required candidates to submit the form online through the official portal.
Applicants should also ensure that the email address and mobile number entered in the application are accessible because examination-related communication is sent through the registered contact details.
The first session of JEE Main 2027 will be conducted over six announced examination days:
January 22, January 23, January 24, January 28, January 29 and January 30, 2027. January 31 has been reserved as a buffer date.
The exact examination date, shift and city assigned to an individual candidate will be communicated later through the official examination-related information and admit card. Candidates should not assume that they will appear on a particular date until their individual schedule is issued.
Candidates can follow these general steps once the Session 1 application window opens:
1. Visit jeemain.nta.nic.in.

Candidates preparing for the January session can use the announced examination dates to organise their study plan while waiting for registration to begin. They should regularly check the NTA and JEE Main official websites for the registration notification, information bulletin and subsequent updates.
At present, the JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration date is awaited, while the examination is tentatively scheduled for January 22 to 30, 2027, with January 31 kept as a buffer date.
