IIT Delhi is expected to conduct JEE Advanced 2027 under the Joint Admission Board (JAB) rotation. The Joint Admission Board has not officially announced the organising institute as of 23 October 2026, so the choice rests on the rotation that has held without a break since 2014: IIT Delhi last organised the exam in 2020, and every one of the seven zonal IITs has organised it once since then, ending with IIT Roorkee in 2026.
IIT Roorkee's 2026 cycle had 1,87,389 registered candidates, 1,79,694 who appeared in both papers and 56,880 who qualified (31.65%), the highest qualifying rate in eight years.

JEE Advanced Organising Institute: The Seven-IIT Rotation
Only the seven zonal IITs organise JEE Advanced, each taking a turn once every seven years. The sequence since 2014 has been Kharagpur, Bombay, Guwahati, Madras, Kanpur, Roorkee and Delhi, repeating in the same order.
| Zonal IIT | Years organised (JEE Advanced) | Next turn by rotation |
| IIT Delhi | 2013, 2020 | 2027 |
| IIT Kharagpur | 2014, 2021 | 2028 |
| IIT Bombay | 2015, 2022 | 2029 |
| IIT Guwahati | 2016, 2023 | 2030 |
| IIT Madras | 2017, 2024 | 2031 |
| IIT Kanpur | 2018, 2025 | 2032 |
| IIT Roorkee | 2019, 2026 | 2033 |
The organising IIT runs registration, the admit card, the exam, the answer keys and the result, and publishes a Joint Implementation Committee (JIC) report on the cycle at jeeadv.ac.in.
Which IIT Will Conduct JEE Advanced 2027?
By the rotation, IIT Delhi is next: it follows IIT Roorkee in the sequence, exactly as it did in 2020 after Roorkee organised the 2019 exam. IIT Delhi has organised JEE Advanced twice, in 2013 and 2020, and also conducted IIT-JEE 2012.
| Cycle | Organiser | Gap since previous turn |
| JEE Advanced 2013 | IIT Delhi | — |
| JEE Advanced 2020 | IIT Delhi | 7 years |
| JEE Advanced 2027 (expected) | IIT Delhi | 7 years |
IIT Delhi's 2020 cycle was held on 27 September 2020, later than usual because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In that cycle, 1,50,838 candidates appeared in both papers and 43,204 qualified (28.64%). Admission and course details are on our IIT Delhi college page.
JEE Advanced Organising IIT Year-wise: Candidates and Qualifiers (2019–2026)
The table lists every organising IIT of the current rotation with the official candidate numbers from each cycle's JIC report and result release.
| Year | Organising IIT | Appeared (both papers) | Qualified | Qualifying rate |
| 2026 | IIT Roorkee | 1,79,694 | 56,880 | 31.65% |
| 2025 | IIT Kanpur | 1,80,422 | 54,378 | 30.14% |
| 2024 | IIT Madras | 1,80,200 | 48,248 | 26.77% |
| 2023 | IIT Guwahati | 1,80,372 | 43,769 | 24.27% |
| 2022 | IIT Bombay | 1,55,538 | 40,712 | 26.17% |
| 2021 | IIT Kharagpur | 1,41,699 | 41,862 | 29.54% |
| 2020 | IIT Delhi | 1,50,838 | 43,204 | 28.64% |
| 2019 | IIT Roorkee | 1,61,319 | 38,705 | 23.99% |
The 2023 qualified figure appears as 43,773 in some reports. Qualifying rate = qualified ÷ appeared.
The number of qualifiers grew 47.0% from 2019 to 2026 (38,705 to 56,880), while the number who appeared grew 11.4% (1,61,319 to 1,79,694). In 2026, 10,107 of the 56,880 qualifiers (17.8%) were women.
Does the Organising IIT Affect JEE Advanced Difficulty or Cutoff?
The organising IIT does not decide the difficulty on its own, and the data shows no pattern by host. IIT Roorkee organised both the cycle with the lowest qualifying rate in this period (23.99% in 2019) and the one with the highest (31.65% in 2026).
| Measure | Lowest | Highest |
| Qualifying rate, 2019–2026 | 23.99% (2019, IIT Roorkee) | 31.65% (2026, IIT Roorkee) |
| Candidates appeared, 2019–2026 | 1,41,699 (2021, IIT Kharagpur) | 1,80,422 (2025, IIT Kanpur) |
| Candidates qualified, 2019–2026 | 38,705 (2019, IIT Roorkee) | 56,880 (2026, IIT Roorkee) |
Qualifying cut-offs follow JAB rules, not the host's choice. The JIC report for 2025 states that the qualifying criteria were relaxed so that at least twice as many candidates qualified as there were seats in each category; the aggregate cut-off for the common rank list that year was 20.56%. Category-wise closing ranks are on our JEE Advanced cutoff 2025 page.
Organising IIT vs JAB: Who Decides What in JEE Advanced
The organising IIT runs the exam, while the rules on eligibility, qualifying and seat allocation are set above it. This split is why the host shows no measurable effect on the qualifying rate across the 2019–2026 cycles.
| Decision | Who decides | Example from the 2025–2026 cycles |
| Exam date and schedule | Organising IIT, through the information brochure | IIT Roorkee held the exam on 17 May 2026 |
| Registration, admit card, answer keys and result | Organising IIT | IIT Roorkee declared the result on 1 June 2026 |
| Eligibility rules (age, attempts, Class 12 year) | Joint Admission Board | Two attempts in consecutive years, retained for 2026 |
| Qualifying cut-offs | Joint Admission Board criteria | 2025: relaxed so at least twice the seats qualified; CRL aggregate cut-off 20.56% |
| Seat allocation to IITs | JoSAA | Counselling began on 2 June 2026, a day after the result |
JEE Advanced 2027 Exam Date: Expected Timeline
The organising IIT announces the schedule in the information brochure. The two most recent cycles were held on the third Sunday of May, 15 days before the result.

| Exam date | 18 May 2025 | 17 May 2026 | Not announced |
| Result date | 2 June 2025 | 1 June 2026 | Not announced |

JEE Advanced 2027 Eligibility Criteria
The 2027 information brochure has not been released. The official 2026 criteria moved every date one year forward from 2025, when the age cut-off was 1 October 2000; the right-hand column applies the same one-year shift to 2027.
| Criterion | JEE Advanced 2026 (official) | JEE Advanced 2027 (if the pattern holds) |
| JEE Main rank | Top 2,50,000 in JEE Main 2026 Paper 1, across categories | Top 2,50,000 in JEE Main 2027 Paper 1 |

Under the 2026 rules, candidates who first appeared in Class 12 in 2024 or earlier were not eligible, whatever their JEE Main rank.
How the Top 2,50,000 JEE Main Candidates Split by Category
NTA fills the 2,50,000 JEE Advanced places category by category, setting a separate JEE Main cut-off for each. In 2026, the five main categories took 2,45,791 places and the remainder went to PwD candidates.
| Category | JEE Main 2026 cut-off (percentile) | Candidates made eligible |
| General (UR) | 93.4123549 | 96,873 |
| OBC-NCL | 80.9232583 | 67,597 |
| SC | 63.9172792 | 37,522 |
| Gen-EWS | 82.4164528 | 25,009 |
| ST | 52.0174712 | 18,790 |
Not every eligible candidate registers. In 2026, 1,87,389 registered, about 75% of the 2,50,000 places; in 2025, 1,87,223 of 2,50,236 eligible candidates registered (74.8%). The JEE Main stage is covered on our JEE Main exam page, and category quotas on our JEE Main reservation criteria page.
JEE Advanced Exam Pattern: What to Expect in 2027
JEE Advanced has two compulsory papers on the same day, each covering all three subjects. The number of questions, question types and marking scheme are not announced in advance and have changed from year to year, so only the fixed elements are listed.

| Papers | Paper 1 and Paper 2, both compulsory |
| Duration | 3 hours per paper |

From Qualifying to an IIT Seat: JoSAA Numbers
Qualifying JEE Advanced makes a candidate eligible for IIT seats through JoSAA counselling, but about one in three qualifiers was allotted an IIT seat in 2025. The JIC report for 2025 gives the participation figures.
| Measure | 2025 cycle |
| Candidates who qualified JEE Advanced | 54,378 |
| Qualified candidates who took part in JoSAA | 51,216 (94.2%) |
| Choices filled by those candidates | 73,28,847 (143 per candidate on average) |
| Choices filled by all JoSAA candidates | 3,33,98,917 |

| Share of qualifiers allotted an IIT seat | About 33% |
IIT Delhi B.Tech Closing Ranks (General Category)
Organising the exam has no bearing on admission to IIT Delhi itself: its seats are filled through JoSAA by JEE Advanced rank, like every other IIT. General-category closing ranks for four core branches:
| Branch | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
| Computer Science and Engineering | 102 | 118 | 116 |
| Electrical Engineering | 574 | 582 | 625 |
