JEE Main 2027 Registration: 5.72 Lakh Candidates Apply for Session 1

The JEE Main 2027 Session 1 registration process has crossed an important milestone, with more than 5.72 lakh candidates registering for the January examination. According to the latest figures shared by NTA on November 10, 2026, a total of 5,72,416 candidates had completed the initial registration process.

However, the number of candidates who completed the entire application process is lower. Many applicants are yet to submit their forms, pay the examination fee or download their confirmation pages.

JEE Main 2027 Latest Registration Statistics

OGcollege Insight: These figures show that registration alone does not mean an application has been successfully completed. Candidates must submit the form, pay the prescribed fee and download the confirmation page.

JEE Main 2027 Session 1: Important Dates

OGcollege Insight: The regular application and fee-payment deadline is November 22, 2026, up to 11:50 PM. Candidates applying during the late window must pay an additional late fee of ₹500.

What Should Candidates Do If They Have Not Completed Registration?

Follow these steps:

• Visit the official website: https://jeemain.nta.nic.in/
• Log in using your application number and password.
• Complete the remaining application details.
• Check the uploaded photograph, signature and other required documents.
• Pay the applicable examination fee.
• Download and save the confirmation page.

If the payment is successful but the confirmation page is not generated, check the transaction status and follow NTA's instructions before making another payment.

Does 5.72 Lakh Registrations Mean Higher Competition?

Not necessarily. The reported 5.72 lakh figure represents registrations recorded at a particular point during the application window, not the final number of candidates who will appear for the examination. Since the registration window remains open, the number is expected to change as more candidates submit their applications.

Students should therefore avoid making assumptions about their expected percentile, rank or admission chances based only on this interim registration figure. Instead, focus on syllabus coverage, previous-year questions, mock tests and improving accuracy. Consistent preparation is more useful than constantly tracking registration numbers.

Final Verdict

JEE Main 2027 Session 1 has recorded 5,72,416 registrations as of November 10, 2026. However, only 4,07,664 candidates had completed fee payment at the time of the update.

With the regular registration deadline approaching on November 22, candidates should complete their applications and download their confirmation pages on time. Aspirants who have already registered should use this period to focus on revision, mock tests and preparation for the January examination rather than worrying about interim registration statistics.
