The Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced), commonly known as JEE Advanced, is a national-level engineering entrance examination conducted under the guidance of the Joint Admission Board (JAB) by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).
JEE Advanced is the primary entrance examination for admission to undergraduate, integrated postgraduate and dual-degree programmes at the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) across India.
For Indian candidates, eligibility to appear in JEE Advanced generally depends on their performance in JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.), along with the other prescribed eligibility requirements. Different provisions apply to eligible foreign nationals and certain OCI/PIO candidates.
JEE Advanced is recognised for its emphasis on conceptual understanding, analytical reasoning and advanced problem-solving skills in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Through JEE Advanced, qualified candidates can seek admission to programmes such as B.Tech., B.S., Integrated M.Tech., B.Tech.–M.Tech. Dual Degree, B.S.–M.S. Dual Degree and other eligible academic programmes offered by participating IITs.
This page provides information about JEE Advanced 2027, including the examination schedule, eligibility criteria, registration process, examination pattern, syllabus, results, rank lists, qualifying cutoffs, IIT admission requirements and JoSAA counselling.

What Is JEE Advanced 2027?
JEE Advanced is the second major stage of the Joint Entrance Examination system for students pursuing admission to IIT undergraduate programmes.
While JEE Main serves as an entrance examination for NITs, IIITs, GFTIs and numerous other participating institutions, JEE Advanced determines eligibility for admission to undergraduate programmes offered by IITs through the prescribed admission process.
The examination evaluates students in three core subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
JEE Advanced places significant emphasis on applying concepts to unfamiliar problems, combining knowledge from different topics and solving questions requiring multiple stages of reasoning.
Unlike an examination with a fixed subject-wise question and marking structure, JEE Advanced may include different question formats and marking schemes, depending on the instructions issued for the relevant examination.
JEE Advanced 2027 Eligibility Criteria
Candidates must satisfy all the eligibility requirements prescribed by the Joint Admission Board for the relevant examination year.
The official JEE Advanced 2027 eligibility criteria are To Be Announced.
For reference, the JEE Advanced 2026 Information Brochure specified five eligibility criteria for Indian nationals and OCI/PIO candidates treated at par with Indian nationals.
Criterion A1 – Performance in JEE Main
Under the JEE Advanced 2026 eligibility rules, candidates had to be among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates, including all categories, in JEE Main Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.).
The category-wise shortlisting distribution was:
| Category | Candidates Shortlisted in 2026 |
|---|---|
| OPEN (including OPEN-PwD) | 1,01,250 |
| GEN-EWS (including PwD) | 25,000 |
| OBC-NCL (including PwD) | 67,500 |
| SC (including PwD) | 37,500 |
| ST (including PwD) | 18,750 |
| Total | 2,50,000 |
The actual number could be slightly higher if candidates had tied scores or ranks at the shortlisting boundaries.
JEE Advanced 2027 Shortlisting Requirement: To Be Announced.
Candidates should not assume that qualifying for JEE Main automatically makes them eligible for JEE Advanced. Their position within the applicable shortlisting criteria must satisfy the official requirements.
Criterion A2 – Age Limit
JEE Advanced has an age eligibility requirement, unlike JEE Main.
According to the JEE Advanced 2026 Information Brochure:
| Category | Date of Birth Requirement in 2026 |
|---|---|
| General / GEN-EWS / OBC-NCL | Born on or after 1 October 2001 |
| SC / ST / PwD | Born on or after 1 October 1996 |
A five-year age relaxation was provided to SC, ST and PwD candidates.
The official date-of-birth eligibility cutoff for JEE Advanced 2027 is To Be Announced.
The above dates apply to the 2026 examination and must not be used as the final age eligibility rules for 2027.
Criterion A3 – Number of Attempts
According to the JEE Advanced 2026 rules, a candidate could attempt JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.
For example, under the usual two-consecutive-year attempt system, a candidate making their first eligible attempt in 2026 would have 2026 and 2027 as their consecutive examination years.
A candidate does not receive an unlimited number of attempts merely because they did not register for or appear in the examination during an eligible year.
JEE Advanced 2027 Attempt Rules: Awaiting Official Confirmation.
Criterion A4 – Class 12 Appearance Year
The JEE Advanced 2026 eligibility rules permitted candidates who first appeared in Class 12 or an equivalent examination in either 2025 or 2026, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
A limited exception applied to candidates of certain boards whose academic year 2023–24 results were declared on or after 18 June 2024, subject to all other eligibility conditions.
For JEE Advanced 2027, the official Class 12 appearance-year criteria and any applicable exceptions are To Be Announced.
Candidates should not confuse the JEE Main three-year passing-year window with the separate and generally more restrictive JEE Advanced eligibility requirements.
Criterion A5 – Earlier Admission to an IIT
Previous admission or seat acceptance at an IIT may affect a candidate's eligibility to appear in JEE Advanced.
Under the JEE Advanced 2026 rules, candidates were generally ineligible if they had previously been admitted to an IIT programme covered by the applicable JoSAA rules or had accepted an IIT seat by reporting through the prescribed process.
The rules also provided specific exceptions for candidates who:
- Had been admitted to an eligible IIT preparatory course during the specified year.
- Were allotted an IIT seat but did not report.
- Withdrew before the last round of IIT seat allocation.
- Had their seat cancelled before the last IIT allocation round.
All such exceptions were subject to the other eligibility requirements.
JEE Advanced 2027 Prior IIT Admission Rules: To Be Announced.
Candidates with a previous IIT seat allotment, admission, withdrawal or cancellation should carefully review the official 2027 brochure before registering.
Eligibility of Foreign Nationals and OCI/PIO Candidates
Separate eligibility provisions apply to eligible foreign nationals and certain Overseas Citizen of India (OCI)/Person of Indian Origin (PIO) candidates.
According to the JEE Advanced 2026 rules, eligible foreign national candidates and OCI/PIO candidates classified under the foreign national route were not required to qualify through JEE Main and could register directly for JEE Advanced, provided they satisfied their applicable eligibility conditions.
Different rules applied to OCI/PIO candidates depending on their status and date of obtaining the relevant card.
The detailed foreign-national and OCI/PIO eligibility requirements for 2027 are To Be Announced.
Official Foreign Candidate Information: jeeadv.ac.in/foreign.html
Is 75% in Class 12 Required for JEE Advanced?
The Class 12 board-mark requirement for admission to an IIT must be distinguished from eligibility to appear in JEE Advanced.
Under the 2026 rules, candidates were not required to obtain 75% in Class 12 merely to appear in the examination.
However, for admission to an IIT, candidates were required to satisfy at least one of the following conditions:
Option 1 – Minimum Aggregate Marks
Secure at least 75% aggregate marks in the Class 12 or equivalent board examination.
For SC, ST and PwD candidates, the required aggregate was 65%.
Option 2 – Top 20 Percentile Criterion
Be among the category-wise top 20 percentile of successful candidates in the respective qualifying examination board.
Candidates were also required to satisfy the prescribed subject and qualifying examination requirements.
The applicable IIT admission eligibility criteria for 2027 will be confirmed through the official JEE Advanced 2027 brochure and admission rules.
Which Five Subjects Are Considered?
Under the 2026 admission criteria, the aggregate calculation used the marks obtained in the following five subjects:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- One language, choosing the higher-scoring language if multiple languages were taken
- One additional subject with the highest marks, excluding the four subjects above
Where a subject was assessed out of marks other than 100, the marks were scaled to 100 for the aggregate calculation.
The aggregate was therefore calculated out of 500 marks after applying the prescribed rules.
Improvement Examination Candidates
Under the 2026 IIT admission rules, candidates could improve their aggregate marks by reappearing in one or more subjects, subject to the applicable criteria.
Candidates seeking to satisfy the top-20-percentile criterion through improvement had to reappear in all subjects required by the board.
The detailed procedures for improvement candidates, including which marksheets and examination years are accepted, will depend on the applicable JEE Advanced 2027 admission rules.
Documents Required for JEE Advanced Registration
According to the JEE Advanced 2026 Information Brochure, candidates were required to upload applicable supporting documents during registration.
The documents included:
| Document | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Class 10 Certificate or Birth Certificate | Date-of-birth verification |
| Class 12 Certificate or Marksheet | Applicable candidates |
| Gazette Notification | Candidates with qualifying name changes |
| GEN-EWS Certificate or Permitted Declaration | Eligible GEN-EWS candidates |

The certificate issue-date and validity requirements for JEE Advanced 2027 are To Be Announced.
Candidates should not assume that a certificate valid for JEE Main, a state counselling authority or an earlier examination year will automatically satisfy the requirements for IIT admission.

How Is JEE Advanced Rank Calculated?
According to the 2026 rules, marks obtained in a subject were calculated by adding the marks scored in that subject across Paper 1 and Paper 2.
For example:
Total Physics Marks = Physics Marks in Paper 1 + Physics Marks in Paper 2
The same method applied to Chemistry and Mathematics.
The final aggregate was the sum of the marks obtained in all three subjects.
Aggregate Marks = Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics
Rank lists were prepared using the aggregate marks and applicable category-wise minimum qualifying requirements.
JEE Advanced Tie-Breaking Rules
According to the JEE Advanced 2026 brochure, if two or more candidates received the same aggregate score, the following tie-breaking method was applied:
- The candidate with higher positive marks received preference.
- If the tie remained, the candidate with higher Mathematics marks received preference.
- If the tie still remained, the candidate with higher Physics marks received preference.
- If the tie remained unresolved, the candidates received the same rank.
The 2027 ranking and tie-breaking rules will be governed by the official 2027 brochure.
JEE Advanced 2027 Rank Lists
JEE Advanced rank lists are used to identify qualifying candidates and support IIT admission through the applicable seat allocation process.
