Previous IIT Admission Rules for JEE Advanced 2027

Prior attendance in any IIT makes a candidate ineligible. As per the above mentioned rules, the candidates that were admitted to an IIT program covered under the JoSAA Business Rules 2026 cannot take the JEE Advanced 2027 test.

In addition to that, the candidates who have joined IIT and have undergone the process of reporting under the defined criteria will also be considered as ineligible for appearing in the examination.
