How to Apply for IIT JAM 2027
- Register on JOAPS: Visit jam.iitkgp.ac.in and go to the JOAPS (JAM Online Application Processing System) link. Register using a valid email ID and mobile number, and set an enrolment password.
- Get your Enrolment ID: After registration, an Enrolment ID and OTP will be sent to the registered email and mobile number. Use this ID to log in for all future steps.
- Fill in application details: Log in and enter personal details, academic qualifications, test paper choice (one or two subjects), and preferred exam cities.
- Upload documents: Upload your photograph, signature, and relevant certificates as per the specified format and size.
- Pay the application fee: Pay online through debit card, credit card, net banking, or UPI.
- Preview and submit: Carefully review all entered details before final submission, since corrections later may be limited to the correction window.
- Download confirmation page: Save and print the final application confirmation page for your records.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Double-check all entries (name, category, subject choice, exam city) before final submission, as changes after submission are only possible during the official correction window, if opened.
- Uploaded documents must strictly follow the prescribed size and format; incorrectly formatted files can lead to rejection.
- Keep checking the registered email and JOAPS dashboard regularly - if an application is flagged as defective during scrutiny, candidates may be contacted for rectification.
- Since JAM is conducted by a different IIT each year, always use the current year's official website rather than a bookmarked link from a previous cycle.
- Candidates appearing for two subjects must ensure the two chosen papers fall in different sessions (forenoon and afternoon) on February 14, 2027.
