About JEE Main 2027 (Session 2)

The April sitting of JEE Main: the same exam as Session 1, and a second chance, since only your better score counts.

Who takes it

  • The same candidates as Session 1, whether or not they sat it
  • Taking it can't lower your result: NTA ranks you on the better of your two NTA Scores

Format

  • Identical to Session 1: 75 compulsory questions in 3 hours for 300 marks, on a computer
  • 20 multiple-choice and 5 numerical-answer questions per subject, +4 for correct and -1 for wrong
  • Scores are normalised by percentile within each shift, then merged with Session 1

What it leads to

After Session 2, NTA publishes the final All India Ranks from both sessions combined. Those ranks drive JoSAA counselling for NITs and IIITs and decide who qualifies for JEE Advanced.
