JEE Advanced 2027: Eligibility Criteria for Indian Candidates
According to IIT Delhi, Indian nationals aspiring to appear for JEE Advanced 2027 must fulfil all five eligibility conditions simultaneously. Candidates who fail to meet even one of the prescribed requirements will not be eligible for the examination.
Here are the five important eligibility criteria:
1. JEE Main 2027 Qualification
Candidates must secure a position among the top 2,50,000 successful candidates across all categories in the B.E./B.Tech. paper of JEE Main 2027 to qualify for JEE Advanced.
IIT Delhi has also specified that 5% horizontal reservation will be applicable for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) candidates in each of the five categories.
2. Age Limit for JEE Advanced 2027
Candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 2002, to meet the general age eligibility requirement.
However, candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) categories will receive an age relaxation of five years.
Accordingly, candidates from these categories must have been born on or after October 1, 1997.
3. Maximum Number of Attempts
IIT Delhi has clarified that candidates can appear for JEE Advanced a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.
Therefore, candidates must consider their previous attempts while checking their eligibility for the 2027 examination.
4. Class 12 Examination Requirements
Candidates must have appeared for their Class 12 or equivalent examination for the first time in either 2026 or 2027.
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) must be compulsory subjects in the qualifying examination.
Candidates who first appeared for their Class 12 examination in 2025 or earlier will generally not be eligible for JEE Advanced 2027.
However, IIT Delhi has provided an exception for candidates whose Class 12 examination results for the 2024–25 academic year were declared on or after June 12, 2025.
Such candidates, who appeared for their Class 12 or equivalent examination in 2025, will also be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027, provided they fulfil all the other eligibility conditions.
5. Previous Admission to IITs
Candidates who have already secured admission to an IIT under any academic programme listed in the JoSAA Business Rules 2026 will generally not be eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027.
This restriction applies irrespective of whether the candidate continued in the programme or accepted an IIT seat through online reporting or at a designated reporting centre in the past.
Additionally, candidates whose admission to an IIT was cancelled after joining the institute will also be ineligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2027.
