IIT JAM counselling 2026: Confirmed fact and what's missing
Confirmed: the JOAPS portal opening date — March 27, 2026 — has been announced and is the only specific timetable detail available publicly at this point. You should expect the portal to host registration and choice-filling once it is live.
Missing details: the full counselling schedule, round-wise dates, seat matrix, institute-wise seat counts, fee amounts, document verification list and category-wise reservation details have not been published yet. Official sources have not released seat allocation rules or payment and refund policies for JAM counselling 2026.
How this affects you
If you qualified in JAM, plan to check the official JOAPS portal on or after March 27, 2026 for the live registration link. Keep your JAM scorecard, category certificate, academic documents and photo ID ready for upload and verification — these documents are typically required, though the exact list will be on JOAPS when counselling opens.
Do not assume seat numbers, fees or deadlines from early reports. Wait for the official JOAPS announcements before making choices or payments.

- Note March 27, 2026 in your calendar.
- Keep digital and scanned copies of academic certificates, JAM scorecard, photo ID and category documents ready.
