Sometimes NTA has extended deadlines in past years, but you cannot plan on it. Only a public notice on jeemain.nta.nic.in counts. Rumours on social media do not.

Apply with a ₹500 late fee from 23 to 26 November 2026, or register for Session 2 from 5 January to 3 February 2027.
Yes. The 2027 bulletin allows candidates to register only for Session 2 when its form is live.
