Entrance Exam Dates 2027 — Complete Calendar for India
2027 entrance exam calendar: JEE Main, NEET, CUET, BITSAT, NDA and state CETs, with official dates where announced and expected months for the rest.
Every major Indian entrance exam date for 2027, in one calendar. Most state CETs and national exams fall in a packed April-May window — and several clash with board exams — so seeing them all together is the first step to a sane preparation plan. NDA's 2027 dates are official and JEE Main Session 1 is on NTA's tentative calendar; every other date is expected, based on when the exam was held in 2026.

How to Plan Around the 2027 Calendar
- List your exams first. Most aspirants take 2-4 exams (e.g. JEE + a state CET + BITSAT). Mark all their windows before you plan anything else.
- Find the clashes. April-May is the bottleneck — JEE Session 2, BITSAT, VITEEE and most state CETs all land here, straight after the board exams. Spot the overlaps now.
- Work backwards from the earliest exam. Your syllabus has to be done before the first paper, not the last one.
- Treat boards and entrances as one syllabus. They overlap heavily; preparing them separately wastes time.
- Re-check official dates monthly. Once 2027 begins, notifications start landing — confirm and adjust.
NDA dates are from UPSC's official 2027 calendar, and JEE Main Session 1 and UGC NET December 2026 from NTA's tentative calendar (16 September 2026). All other dates are expected, based on the 2026 cycle, and are subject to change. Confirm every date on the relevant official website.

What are the major entrance exam dates for 2027?
Only a few 2027 dates are fixed so far: NDA I on 11 April 2027 and NDA II on 19 September 2027 (UPSC's official calendar), and JEE Main Session 1 on 22–24 and 28–30 January 2027 (NTA's tentative calendar). Everything else is expected, based on the 2026 cycle: JEE Main Session 2 in April; NEET UG in May (its first computer-based cycle); BITSAT in mid-April and late May; VITEEE in late April–early May; most state CETs (KCET, KEAM, WBJEE, TG and AP EAPCET, COMEDK) in April–May; GUJCET in late March; CUET UG in May–June. MHT-CET may hold its first attempt as early as December 2026–January 2027. Always confirm each on the official site — see the tables below.
When is the CET 2027 exam date?
'CET' refers to different state Common Entrance Tests, and none has announced 2027 dates yet. MHT CET (Maharashtra) now has two attempts a year — the CET Commissioner has said Attempt 1 is likely between mid-December 2026 and mid-January 2027 and Attempt 2 around April 2027 (not yet notified). KCET (Karnataka) is expected in April 2027, GUJCET (Gujarat) in late March 2027 with its own form around December 2026, and KEAM (Kerala) registration in early January 2027 with the exam in April. Pick your state's CET from the calendar below for its details.
When is JEE Main and NEET 2027?
NTA's tentative exam calendar (16 September 2026) puts JEE Main 2027 Session 1 on 22–24 and 28–30 January 2027; Session 2 is expected in April 2027 (not announced). NEET UG 2027 is expected in May 2027 (not announced) and will be the first computer-based NEET — the Centre announced the switch after the 2026 paper, held on 3 May, was cancelled and re-held on 21 June. Both are confirmed in NTA's information bulletins.
Why are some 2027 dates marked 'expected'?
Most 2027 notifications are not out yet. NDA's dates come from UPSC's official 2027 calendar and JEE Main Session 1 from NTA's tentative calendar; every other date here is an estimate based on when each exam was held in 2026. Each exam's date is confirmed only in its official notification — we update the dedicated pages as those release.
How should I use a 2027 exam calendar to plan?
Work backwards from your target exam date. Lock syllabus coverage first, reserve the last 6-8 weeks for revision and full-length mocks, and protect a buffer for your board exams (which clash with several entrance windows). If you are taking more than one exam, map the overlapping windows now so you do not double-book.
Which 2027 exams clash with board exams?
Several sit close to them. JEE Main Session 1 (January) comes just before the February–March board exams, and MHT-CET's first 2027 attempt may fall in December–January, in the middle of board preparation. GUJCET is held right after the GSEB Class 12 boards (29 March in 2026), and many state CETs (KCET, KEAM, TG and AP EAPCET) fall in April-May, soon after the boards, alongside JEE Main Session 2 in April. Plan board prep and entrance prep as one timeline rather than two, since the syllabi overlap heavily.
