Live JEE Advanced 2027 countdown: how many days until the IIT entrance exam? Track the time left and count down to exam day with WatchIsUp.

JEE Advanced is the entrance examination for the **twenty-three IITs**, and it is taken only by candidates who have already cleared the qualifying rank in JEE Main.

**A different institution runs it each year.** Responsibility rotates among the IITs — the organising institute sets the papers, which is one reason the style varies noticeably from year to year in a way JEE Main's does not.

**Two papers, both compulsory**, sat on the same day: Paper 1 in the morning, Paper 2 in the afternoon, three hours each. Skipping either one means the candidate is not considered at all.

**The format is deliberately unpredictable.** Question types, section structure and marking scheme are not fixed in advance and change between years: single-correct, multiple-correct with partial credit, integer answers, matrix matching, paragraph-linked questions. Preparing for a known pattern is not possible by design — the examination tests whether concepts hold up under an unfamiliar format.

**Two attempts, and only in consecutive years.** A candidate may sit JEE Advanced at most twice, in two successive years. There is no third chance, whatever the circumstances.

**Scale.** Of the millions who begin the JEE Main cycle, a few hundred thousand qualify for Advanced, competing for roughly seventeen thousand IIT seats.

The **AAT**, a separate aptitude test, follows for candidates seeking B.Arch at IIT Kharagpur or Roorkee.

The gap between Main and Advanced is short, and a visible countdown makes it concrete. Run this one full screen, or use **photo & camera mode** to put it on your own picture and send the image to the people revising with you. For a date of your own, create your own timer.
