JEE Main 2027: Exam Overview & Key Highlights

JEE Main 2027 is a national-level entrance examination organised by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate programmes in engineering and architecture. The JEE Main 2027 exam will primarily be conducted in a computer-based format (CBT), except for the Drawing section of Paper 2A (B.Arch), which is expected to be administered in a pen-and-paper format.

The exam has two distinct papers:

• Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech):

Designed for admission to B.E./B. Tech courses and includes questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics based on the Class 11 and 12 curriculum.

• Paper 2 (B.Arch & B.Planning):

This paper caters to admissions in B.Arch and B.Planning courses and is further divided into two parts:

• Paper 2A (B.Arch): includes Mathematics, General Aptitude, and Drawing.

• Paper 2B (B.Planning): includes Mathematics, General Aptitude, and Planning-based questions.

JEE Main 2027 Highlights 

Here’s a quick overview of the key details, including the application schedule, exam mode, and paper structure.

All dates and figures mentioned above are tentative and based on JEE Main 2025 and 2026 patterns. Exact details will be updated after NTA releases the official notification.
