JEE Advanced 2027: The schedule for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2027—conducted for admission to all 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in the country—has been released. JEE Advanced 2027 will be held on May 23, 2027. IIT Delhi launched the official website for JEE Advanced 2027 on Friday, November 13, 2026.

Let us look at the eligibility criteria for appearing in JEE Advanced 2027, including the age limits for candidates and the number of attempts permitted.

Only the top 2.5 lakh candidates from JEE Main 2027 will be eligible for the Advanced exam.
There have been no changes to the eligibility criteria for JEE Advanced 2027. The official website, launched by IIT Delhi, states that the top 250,000 candidates (across all categories combined) who qualify in the B.E./B.Tech. paper of JEE (Main) 2027 will be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027. The website also provides a table detailing the percentage of candidates to be shortlisted from various categories.

Limited to two attempts; check the age limit.
There have been long-standing demands to increase the number of attempts allowed for JEE Advanced; however, this request has not been accommodated for JEE Advanced 2027. According to the JEE Advanced 2027 website launched by IIT Delhi, candidates will be permitted a maximum of two attempts for the JEE Advanced 2027 examination. For general category candidates, the date of birth must be on or after October 1, 2002. A 5-year age relaxation is provided for SC, ST, and PwD candidates; meaning, for these candidates, the date of birth must be on or after October 1, 1997.

Understand the Class 12 passing percentage and other criteria
The website launched by IIT Delhi provides detailed information regarding the Class 12 passing percentage and other criteria required to appear for JEE Advanced 2027. Let us look at these requirements.

Candidates preparing for JEE Advanced 2027 must have appeared for their Class 12 examination for the first time in either 2026 or 2027. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics must have been mandatory subjects in their Class 12 curriculum.
Candidates who first appeared for their Class 12 examination in 2025 or earlier are not eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027. This applies regardless of the subjects they took or the number of subjects for which they appeared.

Appearing for the Class 12 examination implies that the respective board has declared the results for that year, regardless of whether the examination was actually conducted or not. If a candidate's result has been withheld, it is still considered as having appeared for the examination.

Candidates whose Class 12 results were declared on or after June 12, 2025, are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027, provided they meet all other eligibility criteria. If a candidate's Class 12 result was declared before June 12, 2025, but was withheld for any reason, they will not be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027.
