The examination will be conducted in two sessions on 14 February 2027. The exact paper-wise session and reporting instructions should be checked in the official JAM 2027 schedule and admit card. Candidates appearing for two papers must ensure that their selected combination is permitted and does not create a session clash.
Applicants must satisfy the academic and other requirements specified in the official JAM 2027 information brochure. Candidates who have completed an undergraduate degree or are appearing in the final examination of their qualifying degree in 2027 may be eligible to appear, subject to the applicable programme requirements. Admission eligibility can differ by institute and postgraduate programme. Qualifying JAM does not automatically guarantee admission.
The application fee depends on the candidate category and whether one or two test papers were selected. The fee schedule in the official information brochure is authoritative. Since registration has closed, candidates should refer to their submitted application and official portal for payment or correction-related queries.
JAM scores are used for admission to postgraduate programmes offered by participating IITs and other institutions. The official JAM portal describes opportunities across 23 IITs and a range of postgraduate programmes. Candidates must separately review programme-specific eligibility, seat availability, admission procedures and counselling or application requirements of the participating institutes.
