IIT Delhi announces JEE Advanced 2027 exam date

The engineering entrance examination will be held on May 23, 2027, with an on-screen calculator permitted for candidates.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi has announced that the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced 2027 will take place on May 23, 2027. According to reports from The Economic Times and Deccan Chronicle, the national-level engineering exam will be conducted in a computer-based test mode.

The organising institute has launched the official website, jeeadv.ac.in, to provide updates on the schedule and registration. Telegraph India reported that the institute will allow students to use a basic, non-scientific calculator with a 10 to 12 digit display on the screen during the test.

To qualify for the exam, candidates must rank among the top 2,50,000 successful participants in the JEE Main 2027. Telegraph India noted that shortlisting follows category-wise distribution, including 40.5 per cent for the OPEN category and 10 per cent for General-Economically Weaker Sections (GEN-EWS).

Eligibility criteria include age limits and attempt restrictions. Candidates must have been born on or after October 1, 2002, though applicants from SC, ST, and PwD categories receive a five-year relaxation. Applicants can attempt the exam a maximum of two times in two consecutive years.

While the exam date and eligibility have been released, IIT Delhi has not yet announced the registration schedule or application deadlines. Candidates are advised to monitor the official portal for further instructions regarding the application process.
