The National Testing Agency has revised JEE Main 2027 rules, allowing candidates to register only in exam centers located in their home state, based on permanent or current address.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a significant change to the JEE Main 2027 exam city selection process. Under the new rule, candidates are restricted to choosing exam centers only within the state of their permanent or current address.
This modification aims to reduce travel and accommodation costs for aspirants and streamline logistical arrangements for the exam. Candidates will need to consult the updated state‑wise list of centers before applying.
In Bihar, for instance, the NTA has identified 11 centers that will be available for registration. Candidates from other states must similarly verify the centers available in their respective states.
Applicants are advised to confirm their address details carefully, as the new rule may impact seat availability and the overall exam experience.
