Live JEE Main 2027 countdown: days, hours, minutes and seconds until the next NTA JEE Main session. Track your engineering-entrance prep and count down to exam day.

JEE Main is the national entrance test for undergraduate engineering in India, conducted by the **National Testing Agency**. It opens admission to the NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded institutions — and it is the gate that must be passed before JEE Advanced and the IITs.

**Two sessions a year**, usually January and April. Candidates may sit both; the **better of the two scores** is the one that counts, which is why the January session is rarely treated as a rehearsal.

**Three papers, different purposes.**
- **Paper 1** — B.E./B.Tech: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, 75 questions, 300 marks.
- **Paper 2A** — B.Arch, which adds a drawing test taken on paper.
- **Paper 2B** — B.Planning, with a planning-based section.

**Marking** is +4 for a correct answer and −1 for a wrong one in the multiple-choice section. The numerical-value questions carry the same +4, and a negative mark as well since 2023.

**Normalisation.** Because the test runs across multiple shifts on different days, raw marks are converted into **percentile scores** computed per session. A percentile is not a percentage: 99 percentile means you scored above 99 % of candidates in that session, not that you got 99 % of the marks.

The top scorers — the cut-off shifts each year — qualify to sit JEE Advanced.

Run this countdown full screen on the desk through the last revision weeks, or share it with your batch. **Photo & camera mode** puts it on a photo of your own and gives you the file in story, square or landscape. For Session 2, the results date or a target of your own, create your own timer.
