JEE Main Admit Card 2027: Date, Download & Details

The JEE Main admit card is the one document that gets you into the exam hall. NTA issues it online, in batches, a few days before each exam date. It is not posted to you, and it is not reissued at the centre if you lose it. This guide to the JEE Main admit card 2027 explains when it is likely to appear, how to download it, what to check on it, what to carry and what to do if something is wrong.

Last updated: 28 October 2026. The JEE Main 2027 admit card has not been released. NTA has published the 2027 notification/information bulletin.

How to Download the JEE Main Admit Card

The 2027 screens may look slightly different, so follow the labels on the portal.

Open the official site. Type jeemain.nta.nic.in in your browser. Do not use a link from a message or an ad.
Find the admit card link. It appears under the candidate activity section once NTA releases the batch, and the label will name your session and paper.
Log in. Enter your application number and your password or date of birth, whichever the login page asks for, plus the security PIN or captcha.
Open your card and read it. Check every detail before you save it (see the checklist below).
Download the PDF. Save it to your phone and also to a second place, such as email or a pen drive.
Print it on A4 paper. Take a clear printout. Print the self-declaration page as well if the bulletin asks for it.

Tip: Log in on the day the admit card is released, not the evening before your exam. Portals slow down when lakhs of candidates log in together, and a late download leaves no time to fix a problem.

If you cannot log in

Re-check the application number. It is the number you received on screen, by SMS and by email after registering.
Use the forgot-password and forgot-application-number options on the login page. They send details to the mobile number and email you registered, so keep both active.
Try another browser or device if the page does not load or the PDF will not open, and avoid VPNs.

Our guide to JEE Main login walks through account recovery in detail.

Details Printed on the JEE Main Admit Card

The card carries your identity details and your exam slot. Based on the 2026 card, expect:

Your name, father’s name, date of birth, gender, category and state of eligibility
Your application number and JEE Main roll number
The paper you registered for (Paper 1, 2A or 2B)
Exam date, shift and the full address of your exam centre
Your photograph, your signature and space for a parent’s signature
Instructions for the examination day

Check these before you save it

Item	What to check
Name and date of birth	Spelling and date must match your Class 10 certificate exactly
Category and PwD status	Must match your application and your certificate
Paper	Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech), 2A (B.Arch) or 2B (B.Planning), as you applied
Date and shift	Note the date and whether you are in the morning or afternoon shift
Exam centre address	Open the address in a map and plan the route and travel time
Photo and signature	Both should be clear and belong to you

What if there is a Mistake on Your Admit Card?

Do not edit the PDF or write over the printout. The 2027 bulletin treats a card with altered or mutilated entries as unfair means. Instead:

Note exactly what is wrong, and take a screenshot of the page.
Call the NTA helpline: 011-40759000, between 10 AM and 5 PM, as given in the 2027 bulletin. Check the Contact Us page for any change.
Report the problem as early as you can, well before the exam date.
Carry the admit card you downloaded to the centre. For discrepancies, the bulletin says to appear with the downloaded card and NTA will correct its record later.

Errors in the application itself (name, category, photo) are handled in the correction window, which comes before the admit card. See our form correction guide so you do not miss it next time.

Admit card not showing at all? NTA may withhold a card if the application is incomplete, the photo is unclear, the signature is missing or the eligibility conditions are not met. If your card is not available after the release, call the helpline the same day.

City Intimation Slip vs Admit Card

Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre

The 2027 bulletin listed the following. Confirm the list again with the 2027 bulletin is published.

Printed admit card with the self-declaration (undertaking) filled in, on A4 paper
One passport-size photograph, the same as the one you uploaded in your application
One original, valid photo ID: school ID, PAN card, voter ID, passport, Aadhaar (or e-Aadhaar) with photo, Class 12 admit card with photo, or a bank passbook with photo. Expired IDs are not accepted.
PwD or PwBD certificate, if you are claiming the relaxation
A transparent ballpoint pen, which the 2027 bulletin includes in its list

Our documents required checklist covers the registration documents, and our reservation criteria guide explains which certificate you need for your category.

What you must not take inside

Mobile phones, smartwatches and any other electronic device
Calculators, including watches with a calculator function (numerical-answer questions use an on-screen keypad)
Geometry or pencil boxes, instruments, paper and other stationery
Bags, wallets and purses
Food and drinks, including water
Metallic items

Sikh candidates may wear the kara and kirpan. Candidates with medical needs should read the bulletin’s special provisions and carry supporting papers instead of assuming anything.

Exam Day Timeline and Reporting Time

The 2027 bulletin asked candidates to report two hours before the test begins and did not admit latecomers. Entry, document checks, biometric registration and frisking all happen before the exam starts.

Activity	Morning shift	Afternoon shift
Entry and checks	7:00–8:30 AM	1:00–2:30 PM
Instructions are read out	8:30–8:50 AM	2:30–2:50 PM
Log in to read instructions	8:50 AM	2:50 PM
Test begins	9:00 AM	3:00 PM
Test ends (3 hours)	12:00 noon	6:00 PM
Test ends (3 hours 30 minutes, B.Arch and B.Planning together)	12:30 PM	6:30 PM

Use only the rough sheets given to you. Write your name and application number on each one and hand them back before you leave.

What to wear

The bulletin text I reviewed does not list a detailed dress code. Because metallic items are banned and everyone is frisked, a sensible choice is light clothing without metal buttons or zips, no jewellery or heavy accessories, and simple footwear. Follow any dress instruction printed on your own admit card, since that overrides general advice.

Admit Card for Session 2 and for More Than One Paper

NTA issue session-wise admit cards, through a separate login date for each session, so a Session 1 card does not work for Session 2. If you applied for more than one paper, check that you have downloaded a card for every paper, because each exam has its own date and shift.

Checklist for the Week Before Your Exam

Admit card printed on A4, self-declaration filled in, and a spare copy kept at home
Original photo ID and the passport-size photograph in the same folder
Exam centre address checked on a map, with travel time worked out
Registered mobile number and email active for last-minute NTA messages
Keep the admit card safe after the exam, since you may need it for reference during later admission steps

Official Websites and Helpline

Use only jeemain.nta.nic.in to download your admit card, and note NTA’s Contact Us page for the helpline: jeemain.nta.nic.in/contact-us. No one needs your password to get your admit card, so never share it, and treat any message that asks you to pay for an admit card as fraud.

JEE Main Admit Card FAQs

What is the release date of the JEE Main admit card 2027?

Admit Card download for Session 1 is scheduled from 13 January 2027, and session 2 scheduled for March 25, 2027.

Is there a direct link to download the JEE Main admit card 2027 right now?

No, the link stays inactive until NTA releases the cards. Once it is live, it appears on the NTA JEE Main homepage, and links shared on social media or chat groups are not official.

Which login details should I keep ready for the JEE Main admit card?

Keep your application number, your password or date of birth (whichever the login page asks for) and be ready to enter the captcha. The application number is in the confirmation email and SMS from registration.

I have my application confirmation page. Do I still need the admit card?

Yes. The confirmation page only proves you applied, while the admit card carries your roll number, centre address and shift, and it is what the gate staff check.

How should I print the JEE Main admit card 2027?

Print every page of the PDF on A4 paper, including the self-declaration page, and keep the photo, QR code and barcode clearly readable. Take at least one spare copy.

I am appearing in both sessions. How many admit cards will I get?

You get one admit card per session you appear in. The Session 1 card will not work for Session 2, so download the new one when NTA releases it.

Can I plan my travel using the city intimation slip?

Yes, the slip is good enough for booking tickets and a stay. Treat the address printed on the admit card as the final venue.

What if my name, photo or signature is wrong on the admit card?

Call NTA on 011-40759000 (10 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday) or email jeemain@nta.ac.in the same day. Do not alter the printout, and carry it exactly as downloaded.

Do I have to sign the self-declaration on the admit card?

Yes. Fill it in and sign it before you leave for the centre, because it is part of the document you must carry.

Which photo ID is safest to carry to the JEE Main exam centre?

An original Aadhaar or e-Aadhaar, PAN card, voter ID or passport is the safest choice. A photocopy will not do, and entry can be denied without a valid photo ID.

What happens if I reach the centre after the gate closes?

Late entry is not allowed after the gate-closing time on your admit card. Plan to arrive well before the reporting time, and do a trial trip to the venue if you can.

What should I do if the portal is slow on release day?

Expect heavy traffic in the first few hours and log in again later. Waiting is safer than clicking unofficial links, and if it still fails close to your exam date, call the NTA helpline.

How do I get my admit card if I have lost my login details?

Use the recovery options on the login page. The details are sent to your registered mobile number and email, so keep both accessible. Our JEE Main login guide explains the steps.

Final Word

The JEE Main admit card 2027 will not appear until NTA completes registration and starts releasing it. Until then, protect your application details and keep your documents ready.
