JEE Advanced 2027 Eligibility Criteria for Indian Candidates

Candidates belonging to the Indian national category and OCI/PIO (I) category must simultaneously satisfy all five eligibility criteria prescribed for JEE Advanced 2027.

1. JEE Main 2027 Qualification – Top 2,50,000 Candidates

Candidates must be among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates (including all categories) in the B.E./B.Tech. paper of JEE Main 2027.

The category-wise distribution of candidates shortlisted for JEE Advanced 2027 is as follows:

• OBC-NCL: 27%
• Scheduled Caste (SC): 15%

Additionally, 5% horizontal reservation for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) is applicable within each of the five categories.

The official eligibility notice also clarifies that the total number of shortlisted candidates may exceed 2,50,000 in case of tied ranks or scores.

Important: Merely appearing in JEE Main 2027 does not make a candidate eligible for JEE Advanced. Candidates must secure a position within the prescribed category-wise shortlist.

2. JEE Advanced 2027 Age Limit

Candidates must fulfil the prescribed age criteria to appear for JEE Advanced 2027.

• General and other applicable categories: Candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 2002.

Candidates should verify their date of birth and applicable category documents before applying.

3. Maximum Number of Attempts

As per the eligibility criteria announced for JEE Advanced 2027, a candidate can appear for the examination a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.

The existing two-attempt rule has been retained for the 2027 examination.

This means candidates should carefully consider their previous JEE Advanced attempts while checking their eligibility.

4. Class 12 Examination Eligibility

Candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 or equivalent examination for the first time in either 2026 or 2027, with the following subjects as compulsory:

Candidates who first appeared for their Class 12 examination in 2025 or earlier will generally not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2027, irrespective of the combination or number of subjects they attempted.

Important exception for certain 2025 candidates:

An exception has been provided for candidates whose Class 12 examination boards declared the results for the 2024–25 academic year on or after June 12, 2025.

Such candidates, who first appeared in Class 12 in 2025, may also be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027, provided they fulfil all the remaining eligibility conditions.

However, candidates whose board declared the results before June 12, 2025, but whose individual results were withheld for any reason, will not be eligible under this exception.

5. Previous Admission to an IIT

Candidates who have already been admitted to an IIT or IISc under an academic programme covered by the JoSAA 2026 Business Rules will generally not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2027.

This restriction applies irrespective of whether the candidate continued with the programme or accepted an IIT/IISc seat through online reporting or at a reporting centre.

Candidates whose admission was cancelled after joining an IIT or IISc will also be ineligible.

However, the official eligibility criteria provide certain exceptions:
