What did the NTA exam calendar 2027 announce?
NTA's "Examination Calendar, December 2026 Cycle onwards" is a one-page table of exams from December 2026 to March 2027. For engineering students, it gives only two useful lines: JEE Main 2027 Session 1 on 22-24 and 28-30 January 2027, and CUET PG 2027 in March. Every date carries a "tentative" note.
| Exam in NTA calendar | Proposed date(s) | Official or Tentative |
|---|---|---|
| UGC NET (December cycle) | 14-19 December 2026 (buffer 20-21 December) | Tentative (official NTA calendar) |

When is JEE Main 2027?
JEE Main 2027 Session 1 is listed in NTA's official calendar (marked tentative) on 22, 23, 24, 28, 29 and 30 January 2027, with 31 January as a buffer, as per NTA's calendar. Registration has not opened as of 9 October 2026. Last year the Session 1 form opened on 31 October 2025, so a late-October or November 2026 start is likely but unconfirmed.
Session 2 has no date yet. In 2026, Paper 1 of Session 2 ran from 2 to 8 April and final ranks came on 20 April 2026. Registration fees, the information bulletin and the exam city list will all come with the official notification on jeemain.nta.nic.in.
When is JEE Advanced 2027?
JEE Advanced 2027 has no official date. On 9 October 2026, jeeadv.ac.in still shows the 2026 edition run by IIT Roorkee. Based on 18 May 2025 and 17 May 2026, expect a Sunday in the second half of May 2027, with the result about two weeks later and JoSAA from early June.
IIT Delhi is reported (by coaching and news sites) to be the organising institute for 2027 under the usual rotation, but jeeadv.ac.in has not confirmed this and no brochure has been published. Eligibility stays linked to JEE Main: only the top 2,50,000 Paper 1 candidates could register in 2026. Read the full JEE Advanced 2027 dates and eligibility for attempts, age limit and qualifying marks.
When are GATE 2027 and IIT JAM 2027?
GATE 2027, organised by IIT Madras, is on 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 February 2027, with the result on 19 March 2027. IIT JAM 2027, organised by IIT Kharagpur, is on 14 February 2027, with the result on 18 March 2027. Both dates are official.
| Milestone | GATE 2027 | IIT JAM 2027 | Official or Tentative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organising institute | IIT Madras | IIT Kharagpur | Official |
| Registration last date | Regular closed 5 October 2026; late fee till 12 October 2026 | 19 October 2026 | Official |

| Result | 19 March 2027 | 18 March 2027 | Official |
| International centres | None | None | Official |
Note the overlap: 14 February 2027 is both JAM day and a GATE day. If you want to write both, wait for the GATE paper-wise schedule before choosing. If you have not applied for GATE yet, read our GATE 2027 late-fee deadline (12 October) update first, and our IIT JAM 2027 guide for JAM details.
Update (9 October 2026): GATE 2027 regular registration closed on 5 October 2026. The late-fee window runs till 12 October 2026, per gate2027.iitm.ac.in. The correction window is 14-21 October. City allotment is on 4 January 2027; the admit card date is still TBA on the important-dates page.

When is UCEED 2027?
UCEED 2027 will be held on Sunday, 17 January 2027, from 9 am to 12 noon, according to IIT Bombay's official UCEED 2027 website. Registration opened on 1 October 2026 and the regular-fee last date is 31 October 2026. The result is scheduled for 6 March 2027.
UCEED gives B.Des admission at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Indore, IIT Roorkee and IIITDM Jabalpur. It falls five days before JEE Main Session 1, so a PCM student can attempt both. Our UCEED 2027 exam date and registration guide covers eligibility, pattern, fees and seats.
CEED 2027, IIT Bombay's entrance for M.Des and PhD in design, is on the same morning, 17 January 2027, and its registration has also opened, with news reports giving 31 October 2026 as the regular-fee last date. It is meant for graduates and final-year students, not Class 12 students. See our CEED 2027 registration and exam date guide for eligibility, pattern and participating institutes.
When are CUET UG 2027 and CUET PG 2027?
CUET PG 2027 is tentatively on 1-5, 8, 12-20 and 24-25 March 2027 as per NTA's calendar. CUET UG 2027 has no date yet; in 2026 it ran from 11 May to 7 June, so a similar mid-May to June window is expected, with registration likely around January 2027.
CUET UG matters to JEE aspirants mainly as a backup for central university B.Sc and a few B.Tech programmes. Our CUET UG 2027 guide explains which B.Tech seats use it.
What about the IIT Madras BS degree?
The IIT Madras BS degree runs its own qualifier process with several intakes a year, so it does not follow the JEE calendar. The September 2026 term application closed on 27 September 2026. Careers360 reports the qualifier exam on 15 November 2026 (not checked on the official site today). Check study.iitm.ac.in for the next intake.
Students who became eligible to write JEE Advanced can enter the Foundation level directly without the qualifier. Read our IIT Madras BS degree admission guide before you treat it as a replacement for a campus B.Tech.
What is the month-by-month plan from October 2026 to June 2027?
October and November 2026 are about forms; January and February 2027 are exam-heavy; March to June is about results and counselling. Use the planner below. Rows marked Tentative are either NTA calendar dates or our estimate from 2026, and may move.

Which 2027 dates are still missing?
Four important items are still pending: JEE Main 2027 registration and Session 2, the JEE Advanced 2027 brochure and organiser, CUET UG 2027, and the CBSE 2027 date sheet. Until each body publishes them, any exact date you see elsewhere is an estimate.
- JEE Main 2027: watch jeemain.nta.nic.in for the information bulletin.
- JEE Advanced 2027: watch jeeadv.ac.in for the organising IIT (reported as IIT Delhi, not confirmed) and brochure.
- CUET UG 2027: usually notified around January.
- CBSE 2027: the date sheet decides how much time you get between boards and JEE Session 2.
