Candidate Portal (JOAPS)

Candidates can apply for JAM 2021 only through the JAM Online Application Processing System (JOAPS) link available at the website http://jam.iisc.ac.in. The facility for Online Registration and Application will be available through the website http://jam.iisc.ac.in from September 10, 2020. A candidate has to first register on the JOAPS website by providing his/her name, a valid E-mail address, a working mobile number and a password. The candidate must give an E-mail address that he/she uses and checks frequently, as all communication to the candidate from JAM 2021 will be sent to this E-mail address. The candidate must not use someone else's E-mail address and only one candidate can be registered with one E-mail address. Similarly, the candidate should provide his/her personal mobile number because most of the communication may also be sent via SMS. The password that the candidate provides should be chosen such that it cannot be guessed easily by others and this password must not be forgotten by the candidate as he/she will require it to login to the online application website. Upon successful registration, an E-mail containing the candidate’s Enrolment ID will be sent to the E-mail address provided by the candidate. The Enrolment ID will also be sent to the mobile number provided by the candidate. The candidate needs to use this enrolment ID along with the password for all JAM 2021 related communications or website operations. Candidates are advised to keep the ID along with the password information safe and confidential.

JOAPS provides an online interface to the candidate for interacting with the JAM Administration. With this interface, a candidate can:
  • Apply for the examination online.
  • Upload photograph, signature and other documents like category certificate (if applicable), PwD certificate (if applicable), etc.
  • Pay the application fee through any of the electronic payment modes.
  • Check the status of the application form: Received, Under scrutiny, Accepted, Defect status, Status after rectification, Rejected with valid reasons, Admit card ready for download, etc.
  • Download Admit Card.
  • View answers, marks and JAM score.
  • Download the JAM scorecard.
  • Submission of application for Admission.

Candidates are discouraged from making application through a third person. If someone else (friend or Internet café person) is filling the application on behalf of the candidate, the candidate must ensure that the data submitted are correct. It has been noticed during earlier occasions that the information filled by another person on behalf of the candidate was wrong, as they did not have correct information about the candidate. We, therefore, strongly discourage such practice while filling the online application form.

  • JAM 2021 applications shall be scrutinized to verify the accuracy of the data entered by the candidate against the submitted supporting documents and for the clarity of the photograph, and signature.
  • Defective applications will be marked and intimated to the candidate for rectification within a stipulated time period. Failing to rectify the defects within the stipulated time can lead to the rejection of the application and no further communication will be entertained in this regard.
