IIT JAM Fees 2027

Application fees for the IIT JAM exam 2027 start at ₹1,000 for one test paper. Female, SC, ST and PwD candidates pay ₹1,000 for one paper and ₹1,350 for two papers. All other candidates pay ₹2,000 for one paper and ₹2,700 for two papers. IIT Kharagpur, the organiser, kept the same IIT JAM exam fees table as JAM 2026.

The IIT JAM exam fees depend on two things only: your gender-and-category row and the number of test papers. Run both checks below, then pay the matching amount before the last date. Read this page along with IIT JAM 2027 registration and IIT JAM 2027 dates.

The IIT JAM exam fees are category-wise, and the category rule also depends on gender. The official fee page lists two rows, as per the JAM 2027 website. The IIT JAM registration fees are paid once, when you submit the application.

This category-wise table lists the IIT JAM 2027 exam fees in full. The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The brochure lists no separate JAM processing fee. Bank or gateway charges, if any, on net banking, cards or UPI are paid by the candidate.

Which row of the IIT JAM exam fees applies to me?

Check your gender first, because a woman of any category pays the concessional row. Then check your category.

1. If you are female, you pay ₹1,000 for one paper or ₹1,350 for two papers.
2. If you are male and belong to SC, ST or PwD, you pay the same ₹1,000 or ₹1,350. The IIT JAM exam fees for SC and ST men are not higher.
3. If you are male and belong to General, OBC-NCL or EWS, you pay ₹2,000 or ₹2,700. The IIT JAM exam fees for OBC-NCL men are the same as for General men.

How much does a second paper add to the IIT JAM exam form fees?

A second paper adds ₹350 to the IIT JAM exam form fees in the concessional row. It adds ₹700 in the other row. These two amounts come from subtracting the one-paper fee from the two-paper fee. You can pick two papers only if they run in different sessions. See the IIT JAM 2027 exam pattern for the session list.

IIT JAM Exam Fees: Frequently Asked Questions

The IIT JAM exam fees did not change from the JAM 2026 cycle to the 2027 cycle. Both cycles list ₹1,000 and ₹1,350 for the concessional row, and ₹2,000 and ₹2,700 for all others.

The category-wise IIT JAM exam form fees are identical in both cycles. The IIT JAM exam fees 2026 table was published by IIT Bombay, the organiser of that cycle. The 2027 table is on the IIT Kharagpur site. Both are official sources. The ₹300 change fee is also listed for 2027. In the JAM 2025 brochure the concessional row was ₹900 and ₹1,250, and the other row was ₹1,800 and ₹2,500. So the IIT JAM exam fees rose between 2025 and 2026.

Has the IIT JAM exam fee increased for 2027?

No, the IIT JAM exam fee has not increased for 2027. All four amounts match the 2026 table. The IIT JAM exam fees for general candidates stay at ₹2,000 and ₹2,700. The IIT JAM exam fees for OBC-NCL and EWS men are also unchanged. The IIT JAM exam fees for SC and ST candidates stay at ₹1,000 and ₹1,350.

The IIT JAM exam fees for General, OBC-NCL and EWS men fall in the "All Others" row. The fee is ₹2,000 for one test paper and ₹2,700 for two test papers.

OBC-NCL and EWS men get no concession in the IIT JAM application fee table. The concession is limited to women of any category, and to SC, ST and PwD candidates. Check this row before you pay.

What are the IIT JAM exam fees for OBC candidates?

The IIT JAM exam fees for OBC-NCL men are ₹2,000 for one paper and ₹2,700 for two. An OBC-NCL woman pays ₹1,000 or ₹1,350. Your OBC-NCL certificate still matters for reservation, and it must be issued on or after 1 Apr 2026.

Do EWS candidates get a lower IIT JAM exam fee?

No, the table gives EWS men the "All Others" fee, and EWS women the concessional fee. The IIT JAM exam fees for OBC-NCL and EWS men are the same. An EWS certificate does not lower the fee. Your EWS certificate must also be issued on or after 1 Apr 2026. The certificate affects your reservation later, not the application fee.

What are the IIT JAM exam fees for general candidates?

The IIT JAM exam fees for general category men are ₹2,000 for one paper and ₹2,700 for two. General category women pay ₹1,000 or ₹1,350. Use the IIT JAM 2027 registration page for the documents you upload with the fee.

The IIT JAM exam fees for SC candidates are ₹1,000 for one paper and ₹1,350 for two. The same amounts apply to ST candidates. An SC or ST woman also pays these amounts, and she gets no second concession.

The IIT JAM exam form fees you pay now are not the only fees tied to the score. The IIT JAM exam fees and the admission fees fall at different stages. After the result, you pay ₹750 to apply for admission at the IITs through JOAPS. Both amounts below are from the JAM 2027 brochure.

The ₹750 fee is non-refundable. These category-wise seat fees are paid online on JOAPS. The advance seat booking fee is adjusted against the institute fee. JOAPS dates for 2027 are not announced, and the admission brochure is due in the second week of March 2027.

How much is the IIT JAM admission application fee after the result?

The admission application fee is ₹750 for every candidate, as per the 2027 brochure. It is separate from the IIT JAM 2027 exam fees of ₹1,000 to ₹2,700 you pay now. It is also non-refundable.

What does the seat withdrawal rule cost?

The JAM 2026 admission brochure says a refund is made after deducting a processing fee of ₹6,000. This is the 2026 cycle rule. The 2027 rule is not yet published, so treat the ₹6,000 as a guide only.

The NIT route is separate. CCMN, the centralised counselling for M.Sc. seats at NITs and other CFTIs, charges its own fees. CCMN 2027 is not announced, so the table shows the 2026 fees.

Special Round and National Spot Round registration was ₹3,500 and ₹3,000 in 2026. The participation fee for those rounds was ₹25,000 and ₹15,000. The CCMN brochure and its refund-policy file agree on these figures. Details of both routes are on the IIT JAM 2027 counselling page.

Plan for the IIT JAM exam fees and the institute fees together. Institute fees after IIT JAM admission differ from one IIT to another. The figures below are for the IITs whose own fee documents show a 2026-27 M.Sc. figure.

How much is the M.Sc. fee at IIT Bombay after IIT JAM?

IIT Bombay lists its M.Sc. fee in a circular dated 29 Apr 2026. The figures are for a two-year M.Sc., Indian nationals, Autumn semester 2026-27. Hostel and mess fees are extra.

Both groups also pay one-time fees of ₹16,000 and refundable deposits of ₹10,000. The total row adds these to the semester total. An older IIT Bombay page for 2025 entrants shows a different structure, so use the latest circular. Programme details are on the IIT Bombay M.Sc. admissions page.

How much is the M.Sc. fee at IIT Madras after IIT JAM?

IIT Madras lists these 2026-27 M.Sc. figures for Indian nationals in its 2026 fee structure:

• One-time fees: ₹21,000.
• Tuition: ₹25,000 per semester, with SC, ST and PwD candidates exempt.

• Listed total: ₹66,402 for GE, OBC and EWS, and ₹41,402 for SC, ST and PwD.
• Sponsored candidates: ₹1,16,402.

The listed total for the first group equals ₹21,000 plus ₹40,402 plus ₹5,000. It is a first payment, and later semesters add more. The source is the IIT Madras 2026 fee structure.

Why are other IITs not listed?

The IIT Kharagpur PG admission manual for JAM 2026 admits is inconsistent. Its fee table is headed "Autumn Semester 2026-27". It shows tuition of ₹3,000 for General, EWS and OBC, and ₹0 for SC, ST and PwD. Its total row says "2022-23", so no total is quoted here.

We found no 2026-27 M.Sc. fee on the official pages of IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Guwahati and IIT Roorkee. Check each institute's fee page before you plan your budget. The IIT JAM 2027 colleges page lists programmes and seats.

IIT JAM exam fees are paid online only, through the payment gateway on JOAPS. The accepted modes are net banking, debit card, credit card, UPI and wallet.

Card payments need e-commerce transactions enabled on the card. If net banking does not work, try UPI or a card. Payment queries go to gatejamfee@adm.iitkgp.ac.in.

Is the IIT JAM application fee refundable?

No, the IIT JAM exam fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances. This holds even if you skip the exam or change your mind about the paper. You cannot move the fee to another candidate or another year.

What happens if money is debited but the payment fails?

The amount is credited back to your account. The brochure says this takes ten working days. The website says one week or more after the application process closes. Keep your bank message and your Enrolment ID.
