JEE Main 2027 Guide
Over 12 lakh students compete for a few thousand IIT and NIT seats every year. This is the part nobody tells you. Most students fail because they try to solve complex university-level books. They completely ignore basic formulas and NCERT theory. Because of this, they run out of time during the actual exam. Do not make this mistake. Master the
core basics before touching advanced problems.

Examination for engineering. The National Testing Agency conducts this computer-based test twice a year. It is
your gateway to top institutes like NITs and IIITs. It also serves as the qualifier for
JEE Advanced.

You must pass Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. There
is no specific age limit for this exam. However, you can only attempt it for three
consecutive years. Most students miss this, but you need 75% marks in Class 12 for final
admission.
