The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi has officially announced that the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced 2027 will be conducted on May 23, 2027. Along with the schedule, the institution has launched the dedicated official portal JEE Advanced where aspiring candidates can check the detailed eligibility criteria and track important updates regarding the examination.
Basic Calculators Allowed During the Exam
In a notable update for test-takers, IIT Delhi has confirmed that candidates appearing for JEE Advanced 2027 will be provided with a basic, non-scientific calculator featuring a 10 to 12 digit display directly on their computer screens. Students have been advised to keep checking the official web portal regularly for any further announcements concerning the test format.
Eligibility Criteria and Attempt Limits
According to the official eligibility guidelines, candidates must have appeared for their class 12 or equivalent board examination for the first time in either 2026 or 2027, with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as mandatory subjects. Students who took their class 12 exams in 2025 or earlier will remain ineligible regardless of their subject combination. Furthermore, candidates who have already secured admission into any academic program at an IIT under JoSAA 2026 business rules are barred from taking the exam, regardless of whether they retained the seat or had their admission cancelled later.
Third Attempt Demand Addressed
This clarification comes at a time when engineering aspirants were actively pushing for an increase in the number of permissible attempts. Over 12,000 students had signed an online petition urging the Ministry of Education, the IIT Council, and the Joint Admission Board to permit a third attempt or allow two attempts within a three-year window. However, the guidelines for the 2027 examination maintain the existing restriction of a maximum of two attempts in two consecutive years.
Official Portal for Ongoing Updates
IIT Delhi has emphasized that candidates should frequently visit the official portal to stay updated as the examination cycle progresses. Essential details and procedural updates will be hosted on the website as the dates draw closer, and students are strongly encouraged to review all qualification requirements carefully before planning their preparation.
