The JEE Main 2027 admit card is expected 3–4 days before each session on jeemain.nta.nic.in. Without a valid hall ticket, you cannot enter the exam centre—so knowing when and how to download matters as much as last-minute revision.
This guide covers Session 1 (January 2027) and Session 2 (April 2027) admit card release, login steps, what to verify, and what to carry on exam day.
JEE Main 2027 Admit Card: Expected Release Dates
| Session | Expected exam | Admit card (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Session 1 | Late Jan 2027 | ~3–4 days before Session 1 dates |
| Session 2 | Apr 2027 | ~3–4 days before Session 2 dates |
NTA may also release a city intimation slip earlier showing your exam city—distinct from the final admit card with shift and centre address.
How to Download JEE Main 2027 Admit Card

Step 3 — Download and print
- Download the PDF admit card

Step 4 — Verify every field
Check immediately:

Contact NTA helpdesk immediately if name, photo, or category is wrong. Corrections close quickly after release.
