IIT JAM 2027 Registration Closes Today: Important Deadlines and Next Steps

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur is set to conclude the registration process for the Joint Admission Test for Masters (IIT JAM) 2027 today, October 22. Prospective students aiming to secure admission into postgraduate science and related programmes at participating IITs must ensure their application forms are submitted through the official website, jam.iitkgp.ac.in, before the deadline expires.

As the application phase draws to a close, candidates are advised to familiarise themselves with the upcoming stages of the admission cycle. Following the registration deadline, the next critical milestone for applicants is the application correction window, which is tentatively scheduled to open on November 10, 2026. This period will allow students to rectify any errors made during the initial submission process, though candidates should monitor the official portal for specific instructions regarding which details are eligible for modification and whether any additional fees apply.

Key Dates and Examination Schedule

Following the correction phase, the focus will shift toward the release of admit cards, which are expected to be available in January 2027. Once the link is activated on the JOAPS portal, registered candidates will be able to download their hall tickets. These documents are essential for entry into the examination hall and will contain vital information, including the candidate’s personal details, the specific test paper, and the designated examination centre.

The IIT JAM 2027 examination is officially scheduled to take place on February 14, 2027. The test will be conducted in a computer-based format across two distinct sessions. The forenoon session, running from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, will cover Chemistry (CY), Geology (GG), and Mathematics (MA). The afternoon session, scheduled from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm, will include Biotechnology (BT), Economics (EN), Mathematical Statistics (MS), and Physics (PH). Candidates who have opted to appear for two test papers must ensure that their chosen subjects are scheduled in different sessions to avoid conflicts.
