How much is the JEE Main 2027 application fee?
The fee is per session. It depends on category, gender, number of papers and centre location.
Fee for one paper (Paper 1, 2A or 2B), per session:
| Category | Centre in India | Centre outside India |
|---|---|---|
| General, male | Rs 1,000 | Rs 5,000 |
| General, female | Rs 800 | Rs 4,000 |
| Gen-EWS or OBC (NCL), male | Rs 900 | Rs 4,500 |
| Gen-EWS or OBC (NCL), female | Rs 800 | Rs 4,000 |
| SC / ST / PwD / PwBD, male or female | Rs 500 | Rs 2,500 |
| Third gender | Rs 500 | Rs 2,500 |
Fee for two papers (for example Paper 1 + 2A), per session:
| Category | Centre in India | Centre outside India |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS / OBC, male | Rs 2,000 | Rs 10,000 |
| General / EWS / OBC, female | Rs 1,600 | Rs 8,000 |
| SC / ST / PwD | Rs 1,000 | Rs 5,000 |
| Third gender | Rs 1,000 | Rs 5,000 |
The late fee is Rs 500 for every category. Bank processing charges and GST are extra.
Worked example: what does a late form cost?
A General-category boy applies only for Paper 1 at a centre in India.
- On time, he pays Rs 1,000 for Session 1.
- Say he misses 22 November and applies on 24 November. He pays Rs 1,000 + Rs 500 late fee = Rs 1,500, plus bank processing charges and GST.
- If he later also takes Session 2 for Paper 1, he pays the Session 2 fee again at that time.
Apply before 22 November and you save Rs 500.

Yes. Centres outside India exist, at a higher fee. The city list is in Appendix II of the JEE (Main) 2027 Information Bulletin.
What are the most common registration mistakes?
- Filling two forms. Only one application is allowed. More than one counts as unfair means and can cancel your result.
- Wrong photo. A mask, a coloured background or a face that is too small can cause trouble. Follow the rules above.
- Wrong file size. Check each file against the table before you upload.
- No Confirmation Page. If you do not see it, your payment may not have gone through. Check before you close the site.
- Asking NTA to fix details by email or WhatsApp. NTA does not change details on request by post, email or WhatsApp. Use the correction window only.
- Losing your Application Number. You need it for Session 2 too.
NTA publishes the list of fields you can edit when the correction window (27 to 29 November 2026) opens.

How 1-on-1 tutoring helps with JEE Main 2027
To be honest, the form, fee and documents are not maths or science. NTA and its helpline are the right place for those. Asymptode helps with what comes next: the Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Strong basics, like solving quadratic equations by three methods and Newton's three laws, matter a lot.
- Live 1-on-1 online classes with one dedicated mentor.
- Your own syllabus and exam dates. Your plan follows your board syllabus and works back from your session dates.
- Method first. Your mentor watches each step of your working and fixes the method, not just the final answer.
- Personalised homework with feedback.
- Short parent updates, so families know how things are going.
- Every class is recorded, so you can watch it again.
