JEE Main 2027 is expected to run in two sessions — Session 1 tentatively 22–24 and 28–30 January 2027 per NTA’s examination calendar, Session 2 in early April — and your better NTA score of the two is used for your rank. BrainStride is an AI tutor for JEE, NEET and Olympiad preparation that runs a 20-minute diagnostic, maps your weak chapters and writes a daily plan, with every solution checked by teachers — and keeps this calendar updated as official notices come out.
