Selection Process

The selection process for JEE Main 2027 involves a rigorous examination designed to assess candidates' aptitude in various subjects. Performance in the Computer Based Test (CBT) and, for B.Arch, the Drawing Test, will determine eligibility for admission.

• Computer Based Test (CBT): Most papers (Paper 1, Paper 2A Part I & II, Paper 2B Part I, II & III) are conducted in online CBT mode.
• Pen and Paper Based Drawing Test: For B.Arch (Paper 2A Part III), a drawing test is conducted offline on an A4 size drawing sheet.
• NTA Score Calculation: Raw scores obtained in each shift are converted into NTA Scores (Percentile Scores) to ensure fairness across different difficulty levels.
• Merit List Preparation: If a candidate appears in both Session 1 and Session 2, the best of the two NTA Scores (total score, not individual subject scores) will be considered for the final merit list and ranking.
• Tie-Breaking Rules: In case of a tie in total NTA scores, specific criteria such as NTA scores in Mathematics, Physics/Aptitude, Chemistry/Drawing/Planning, and proportion of incorrect answers will be used to resolve ties.
• Eligibility for JEE (Advanced): Top 2,50,000 successful candidates in B.E./B.Tech Paper 1 of JEE (Main) 2027 (including all categories) will be eligible to appear for JEE (Advanced) 2027.
