The exam centre is not just a location mentioned on your admit card. In Maharashtra, where students may travel between regions such as Vidarbha, Marathwada, Konkan and western Maharashtra, a difficult commute, unfamiliar route or early departure can affect how comfortably you reach the venue. Considering these factors while filling in your city preferences can help you choose a practical centre and plan your journey around the examination shift.
NTA is expected to release the JEE Main 2027 notification in October 2026, with the examination likely to be held in January and April 2027 across two sessions. The final Maharashtra centre list and city codes will be provided in the official Information Bulletin.
Maharashtra's previous JEE Main centre network covered locations across its major regions. The following table gives the 2026 exam cities and their codes as a reference point for you, while the final 2027 options will be determined by NTA.
