Candidates can follow these steps to complete the application process:

JAM 2027 will have seven test papers: Biotechnology, Chemistry, Economics, Geology, Mathematical Statistics, Mathematics and Physics. The examination will be conducted in two sessions, and candidates can opt for a maximum of two papers, provided they are scheduled in different sessions.

The question paper will comprise three types of questions: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Select Questions (MSQs) and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions. Negative marking will apply to incorrect answers in the MCQ section, while MSQ and NAT sections will not carry negative marking.

Candidates who have completed an undergraduate degree or are appearing for their final undergraduate examinations in 2027 can apply, subject to the admission requirements of the respective institutes and programmes.

There is no age limit for appearing in JAM 2027, and candidates can attempt the examination multiple times. However, qualifying in JAM does not automatically guarantee admission, as candidates must meet the eligibility criteria prescribed by their chosen institutes.
