Every date below is tagged confirmed, tentative, expected or not announced, with its source. Confirmed and tentative dates come from the official JAM 2027 website and brochure. Expected dates come from the JAM 2026 pattern and are not official. The IIT JAM 2027 registration page has the application form steps.

Why do the brochure and the website show different IIT JAM 2027 dates?

The brochure and the website differ on a few dates. The website also carries some text from the 2026 cycle. Use the table below to decide which date to trust.

IIT JAM 2027 applications opened on 11 September 2026 and close on 22 October 2026. This is the only application window before the IIT JAM exam date of 14 February 2027. You apply on JOAPS at jam.iitkgp.ac.in.

The application form is separate from the later admission application. You apply for admission only after the result. No change to the IIT JAM 2027 exam date has been announced.

What is the last date to apply for IIT JAM 2027?

The last date is 22 October 2026, extended from 19 October 2026. The brochure says payment runs until 19 October 2026, with no separate extension stated. Check that your application form status shows Accepted on JOAPS.

When does the IIT JAM 2027 form correction window open?

The correction window opens on 10 November 2026, and the date is tentative. A change of paper or an added paper must be done before 10 November 2026. Each change costs ₹300 plus the difference in application fee. The FAQ on the JAM website also says defects will be rectified tentatively before 10 November 2026.

The application fee is ₹1,000 for one paper and ₹1,350 for two papers. This applies to female, SC, ST and PwD candidates. Others pay ₹2,000 and ₹2,700. Final-year students can apply, but the degree must be complete before the admission date of the admitting institute. Read the IIT JAM 2027 fees page for the full break-up.

The JAM 2027 brochure says the admit card is available from 5 January 2027 until the IIT JAM exam date. The website admit-card page says 5 January 2026. That is a leftover from the last cycle.

The card is not sent by post or email. You download it from JOAPS. The IIT JAM 2027 admit card page has the download steps.

Will the IIT JAM 2027 admit card come out on 5 January 2027?

The brochure gives 5 January 2027 as the release date, but the release date can slip. In 2026 the admit card was planned for 5 January. It was released on 13 January 2026, about a month before the IIT JAM exam date 2026. Plan to download it within a day of release, long before the IIT JAM exam date. Errors need time to fix. Report errors to jam@iitkgp.ac.in.
