IIT JAM 2027 Registration Date: Revised Schedule & Live Update
The IIT JAM 2027 registration date window originally opened on September 11, 2026, on the official IIT JAM 2027 official website, jam.iitkgp.ac.in, along with the JAM Online Application Processing System (JOAPS) portal at joaps.iitkgp.ac.in. Candidates who have not yet submitted their application can now do so until October 19, 2026. A data correction window is tentatively scheduled to open on November 10, 2026, where a correction fee of Rs 300 will apply for any changes made after submission.
For comparison, the IIT JAM 2026 registration last date was extended to October 20, 2025, following a similar one week extension from the original deadline that year, so this pattern of last minute extensions is fairly common for JAM registration.
