More than 5 lakh candidates have already registered for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2027 Session 1, indicating strong interest among engineering aspirants. According to the latest registration figures shared by the National Testing Agency (NTA), a total of 5,72,416 candidates have registered for the examination so far.
Out of these, 4,30,382 candidates have submitted their application forms, while 4,07,664 have paid the application fee. The confirmation page has been downloaded by 4,05,547 candidates.

JEE Main 2027 Registrations May Reach 10 Lakh or More
The number of JEE Main 2027 applicants is expected to increase as the November 22 deadline approaches. If the current trend continues, Session 1 registrations could reach 10 lakh or more.
However, previous-year statistics suggest that the final number could be considerably higher. In JEE Main 2026, more than 13.55 lakh candidates registered for Session 1 alone.
Therefore, the expected 10 lakh figure should be treated as an estimate rather than a confirmed target announced by the NTA.

Why Are JEE Main Registrations Increasing Every Year?
The increasing number of registrations indicates the growing interest in engineering education among students. JEE Main is one of India's most important engineering entrance examinations.
It provides admission opportunities to undergraduate engineering programmes offered by National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and other participating institutions.
Another important reason is that candidates get an opportunity to appear in two sessions of JEE Main. They can use their better performance across the two sessions for the admission process, subject to applicable rules.
With more than 13.55 lakh registrations in January 2026, the examination is expected to attract a large number of candidates in 2027 as well.
