JEE Main 2027 Admit Card
Your JEE Main admit card is the single most important document on exam day — without it, you’re not allowed inside the exam centre, no matter how well you’ve prepared. With Session 1 exam dates now officially confirmed (January 22–30, 2027), here’s everything you need to know about when the JEE Main admit card will be released, how to download it, and what to double-check before exam day.
Latest Update: The exact JEE Main admit card 2027 release date has not been announced yet. NTA typically releases it 2–4 days before each exam day, so based on the confirmed Session 1 schedule (Jan 22–30, 2027), expect the admit card to start rolling out in the third to fourth week of January 2027. Always confirm through jeemain.nta.nic.in rather than relying on projected dates.
When Will the JEE Main Admit Card 2027 Be Released?
| Session | Exam Dates | Expected Admit Card Release |
|---|---|---|
|
Session 1 |
Jan 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 2027 |
3rd–4th week of January 2027
|
|
Session 2 |
First week of April 2027 (tentative) |
Last week of March / early April 2027 |
Since JEE Main is conducted across multiple days, NTA usually releases the admit card date-wise and shift-wise, roughly 2–4 days before each candidate’s own scheduled exam day — not all at once for every candidate. So even within Session 1, candidates appearing on January 22 may get their admit card slightly earlier than those appearing on January 30.
City Intimation Slip vs. Admit Card — Don't Confuse the Two
NTA has not released official dates yet. Based on JEE Main 2025 and 2026 patterns, here are the expected timelines:
| City Intimation Slip | Admit Card | |
|---|---|---|
|
Released |
Earlier (roughly 1–2 weeks before exam) |
Closer to exam date (2–4 days before) |
|
Purpose |
Confirms only your allotted exam city |
Confirms exact centre, date, shift, and seat
|
|
Login |
Application number + Date of Birth |
Application number + Password |
The city slip is just a heads-up so you can plan travel and stay if your exam city is outside your hometown — the actual admit card comes later with full centre details.

Only use the official NTA portal to download your admit card — avoid third-party links or unofficial apps claiming early access, since NTA does not authorize any other source.
Details You Must Verify on Your Admit Card
As soon as your JEE Main admit card is downloaded, check these fields immediately and report any error to NTA without delay:
- Full name, photograph, and signature
- Date of birth and category
- Exam date, shift timing, and reporting time
- Exam centre name and complete address
- Application number and roll number
- Subjects/paper opted for (Paper 1/2A/2B)
Self-Declaration Form
Along with the admit card, NTA attaches a self-declaration form that every candidate must fill, sign, and carry to the centre. It typically requires a recent photograph, your signature, and a left-hand thumb impression, confirming that you’ve read and will follow all exam-day rules. Incomplete or missing self-declaration forms can cause avoidable delays at entry.
Documents to Carry on Exam Day
- Printed copy of the JEE Main admit card (mandatory)
- Filled and signed self-declaration form
- One valid original photo ID: Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, Passport, Voter ID, Driving License, or Class 12 Board Admit Card with photograph
- A recent passport-size photograph (same as uploaded during registration)
- PwD/PwBD certificate, if applicable
No candidate is allowed entry without the printed admit card — NTA does not accept digital copies shown on a phone, and duplicate admit cards are not issued at the centre under any circumstances.
What If There's an Error on Your Admit Card?
Don’t wait till the last day to inform the NTA helpdesk or raise a correction request on the official website if any changes are noticed in the name, photograph, category, or the exam centre. Seating and centre allocation is completed by the time the admit card is issued, and in most cases, only factual errors can be rectified, not changes in seat and centre; hence, it is advisable to act early to ensure that the corrections can be made in time.
Quick Exam Day Checklist
- [ ] Admit card printed clearly (not photocopied from a screenshot)
- [ ] Self-declaration form completed, signed, and picture pasted.
- [ ] Valid original photo ID carried
- Arrived at the centre before the time specified on the admit card [ ]
- [ ] Items carried (Please note: only items on the dress code/pest list on the admit card are permitted)
Since gate entry closes strictly at the reporting time and late arrivals aren’t allowed inside, it’s worth planning your travel a day in advance, especially if your allotted centre is in a different city.
