Live photo: what the form asks for
You upload a scanned photo and also capture a live one inside the form. Switch on your laptop webcam first. If the device has no webcam, the form shows a QR code that you scan with a phone or tablet. Use plain white behind you, good light and keep your whole face and both ears visible.
How to prepare the files
- Resize the photo to 10-200KB as a JPG and check your ears are visible.
- Sign on plain white paper, scan it and shrink the file to 10-100KB. The bulletin only asks for a clearly legible signature. The phone signature scanning guide shows how.
- Compress your Class 10 certificate to a PDF between 50KB and 300KB with Compress PDF to 200KB.
- Keep an email address and mobile number that you can open, your own or a parent's or guardian's. NTA sends all messages there, and one mobile number and email can be used for one application form only.
Fee per paper for Session 1
The bulletin lists the fee for each session separately, for centres in India, paid online by card, net banking or UPI. Processing charges and GST are extra, and the Rs 500 late fee is added on top if you apply in the late window. The fee is not refunded once paid.
| Category | One paper (Paper 1, 2A or 2B) | Two or more papers |
|---|---|---|
| General, male | Rs 1,000 | Rs 2,000 |
| General, female | Rs 800 | Rs 1,600 |
| Gen-EWS / OBC (NCL), male | Rs 900 | Rs 2,000 |
| Gen-EWS / OBC (NCL), female | Rs 800 | Rs 1,600 |
| SC / ST / PwD / PwBD, third gender | Rs 500 | Rs 1,000 |
Source: JEE (Main) 2027 Information Bulletin, NTA (2026). Centres outside India have higher fees, listed in the bulletin. JEE Advanced has its own separate registration run by the IIT that organises it, so check jeeadv.ac.in for that fee instead of assuming it matches Main.
What the correction window allows
NTA gives one correction. You can edit only the fields it enables, and the list of correctable fields is published when the window goes live. After it closes, no change is accepted. Nothing sent by post, WhatsApp or email is entertained.
Category matters more than most people think. The bulletin says the OBC (NCL), GEN-EWS, SC, ST and PwD/PwBD entries in the JEE Main database are used for JEE Advanced, and no change is entertained after the NTA score is declared. If you are unsure of your category, sort the certificate out before you submit, not after. Gen-EWS, OBC (NCL), SC, ST and PwD/PwBD candidates must show the original certificate in the prescribed format at seat allocation, or they will not be considered for admission. The bulletin does not say a pending certificate can be replaced by an application reference number, so check the field labels on the form and ask the NTA helpline (011-40759000) if your certificate is not ready.
Session 1, Session 2 and your application number
This notice is only for Session 1. The bulletin gives a tentative Session 2 (April 2027) schedule: applications 5 January to 3 February 2027 and correction 8 to 10 February 2027, with a separate notification to follow. You reuse the same application number for it. Note that "Session 1" is the January attempt and "Session 2" is the April attempt. Fill only one application form: a duplicate can lead to action, and NTA keeps the form with the paid fee only where the duplicate was made in good faith.

What is the JEE Main 2027 registration fee, and is it the same as JEE Advanced?
For one paper at a centre in India, Session 1 costs Rs 1,000 for General male, Rs 800 for General female, Rs 900 for Gen-EWS/OBC (NCL) male and Rs 500 for SC/ST/PwD, plus processing charges and GST. JEE Advanced has a separate registration, so check jeeadv.ac.in for its fee.
When is the JEE Main 2027 correction window?
NTA lists the Session 1 correction window as 27 to 29 November 2026 (up to 11:50 PM). It is a one-time facility, and only the fields NTA enables can be edited.
What photo and signature size does JEE Main 2027 need?
The photograph must be a JPG/JPEG of 10-200KB and the signature a JPG/JPEG of 10-100KB. The bulletin gives no pixel dimensions for either.
Do I have to take a live photo as well?
Yes. The bulletin asks for a live photograph during the form, along with the scanned one. If your device has no webcam, scan the QR code with a phone.
Can I change my category in the correction window?
The bulletin does not list the editable fields in advance. It says the operative list is published when the window opens, so check it then. Your category entry is also used for JEE Advanced, so fill it carefully the first time.
Can I apply with an EWS application reference number if my certificate is not ready?
The bulletin does not say so. It says Gen-EWS candidates must produce the original certificate at seat allocation or they will not be considered for admission. Follow the fields shown on the form and contact the NTA helpline on 011-40759000 if you are unsure.
