What Is the IIT JAM 2026 Response Sheet?

The IIT JAM 2026 response sheet is an official record of all the answers marked by a candidate during the computer-based exam. It typically includes question IDs, options selected by the candidate, test paper code, and other relevant information displayed as it was captured in the exam system.

With this document, candidates can verify how the system recorded each response, check for any possible mistakes, and compare their answers with the official answer key once it is released. This makes the response sheet one of the most important documents between the exam date and the result date.

Details Mentioned in IIT JAM 2026 Response Sheet

The JAM 2026 response sheet typically contains the following details for each candidate:

• Candidate name, Enrollment ID/Email ID, and test paper code.

• Date and shift of the examination.

• Question numbers and unique question IDs as used in the computer-based test.

• Question type (MCQ, MSQ, NAT) wherever applicable.

• Options selected by the candidate or numerical values entered in NAT questions.

• Status of each question (answered, not answered, marked for review).

All these details help candidates cross-check their performance against the official answer key later.

How to Use IIT JAM 2026 Response Sheet to Estimate Your Score?

Match responses with answer key

• Once the IIT JAM 2026 provisional answer key is released, you can use your response sheet to estimate your score:

• Download the official JAM 2026 answer key PDF for your specific paper from jam2026.iitb.ac.in.

• Keep the answer key and your response sheet side by side (either on screen or printouts).

• For each question, compare the option you marked (or NAT value entered) with the correct answer in the answer key.

Apply the marking scheme

• Using the official JAM marking scheme for MCQ, MSQ, and NAT questions, you can calculate your tentative score:

• Add marks for every correct answer as per its weightage (1-mark or 2-mark).

• Deduct negative marks for incorrect MCQ responses wherever negative marking is applicable.

• For MSQ and NAT questions, apply the rules mentioned in the year’s information brochure (often no negative marking for these categories).

• This comparison gives you a fairly reliable estimate of your IIT JAM 2026 score before the result is declared.

Use estimated score for planning

• Your estimated score from the response sheet can help you:

• Gauge your chances of clearing the paper and qualifying for admission.

• Decide whether to start preparing documents for counselling and centralised admission.

• Shortlist IITs/IISc or other institutes where your expected score might be competitive (based on previous trends).

IIT JAM 2026 Answer Key and Result – Next Steps After Response Sheet

Answer key release

• After the response sheet is released, IIT Bombay publishes the provisional JAM 2026 answer key on the official website. Typically:

• The provisional answer key is released a few days after the response sheet.

• Candidates are given a window to challenge questions/answers by submitting objections with proof, if allowed for that cycle.

Result and scorecard

Following the answer key objection process:

• IIT JAM 2026 final answer key is released, usually around the result time.

• The IIT JAM 2026 result is announced online on the official portal, where candidates can log in using their Enrollment ID and password to view their result.

• Scorecards are then made available, showing total marks, All India Rank (AIR), and qualifying status for the respective test paper.

• The timeline may slightly vary year to year, but the broad sequence—response sheet → provisional answer key → final answer key → result → scorecard—remains consistent.
