Eligible candidates can now register for JAM 2026 until October 20, 2025, via the official site.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay has announced an extension for the registration deadline of the Joint Admission Test for Masters 2026 (JAM 2026). Candidates interested in applying can now do so until October 20, 2025, through the official website jam2026.iitb.ac.in. This extension provides additional time for eligible candidates to prepare their applications for the exam.
The JAM 2026 examination is scheduled to take place on February 15, 2026. It will be conducted in two separate shifts, with the first session running from 9.30 am to 12.30 pm and the second session from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm. This structure allows candidates to select their preferred timing and manage their exam-day schedules accordingly.
In preparation for the exam, admit cards will be issued to registered candidates starting January 5, 2025. This early release of admit cards is intended to assist candidates in planning their exam day logistics and ensuring they have the necessary documentation to participate in the test.
The results of the JAM 2026 examination are anticipated to be released on March 18, 2026. It is important to note that qualifying in JAM 2026 does not guarantee admission to postgraduate programmes or any form of scholarship or financial assistance. This means that while a good performance in the exam is essential, it does not automatically secure a place in the desired academic programs.
For those looking to register, the process is straightforward. Candidates can visit the homepage of the official website and click on the JAM 2026 registration link. They will then need to register themselves and proceed with filling out the application form. After completing the form, candidates are required to pay the associated fee and submit their applications. It is advisable for candidates to take a printout of the submitted form for their future reference.
For more comprehensive details, candidates are encouraged to explore the official website, where they can find all necessary information regarding the application process, eligibility criteria, and other relevant updates related to JAM 2026.
