https://jam.iitr.ac.in. The facility for Online Registration and Application will be available through the website
https://jam.iitr.ac.in from

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 2022 will be sent to this E-mail address. The candidate must not use somebody 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 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 2022 related communications or website operations.
Candidates are advised to keep the Enrolment ID along with the password information safe and confidential.

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 (including signature) 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.
After filling in the required fields in the application form and uploading the required documents, the
candidate must review his/her complete application form before the final submission and making of the payment.
The last date to complete and submit the application form is October 11, 2021.
Any application that is incomplete in any respect and does not have the required valid documents will be summarily rejected. The candidates must take care to fill in the details in the application form correctly and must upload correct and valid documents, including signatures and photographs.
The candidates are advised to visit the '
FAQs' section for additional queries.

Payment Procedure
The
application fee is to be paid
online only. The candidate will be able to make the payment using his/her net-banking account, debit or credit card until
October 11, 2021. Additional bank charges may apply for the transaction depending on the payment option. This charge will be specified on the payment portal. Before proceeding for making any payment, the applicant should view his/her application by clicking the

"Proceed for Payment" button. Once a candidate presses
"Proceed for Payment" button,
NO FURTHER CHANGES in the application form can be made and the candidate will be directed to the payment portal. On the fee payment portal, the fee amount and bank charges will be shown and the candidate has to confirm that the payment is for JAM 2022. Once confirmed and payment is successful, the candidate will be redirected back to the applicaion portal, where it shows confirmation of the fee payment. If the candidate had selected only ONE Paper, there will be an option to choose a second paper. If the candidate desires to do so, he/she can proceed by paying the additional amount for second Paper as indicated.
If a candidate has difficulty in making the payment (due to internet connection or power failure, for example) or is not sure whether payment has been processed or not, then he/she should login to JAM 2022 application portal after about an hour and check the status of the payment. If the status is
"Fee Pending/Not Paid" then a fresh online payment through JAM 2022 fee payment portal may be initiated. If it is not done, the application will be rejected due to non-payment of the application fee in time. In case, the fee amount has been debited from your bank account, but JAM 2022 application portal does not acknowledge any fee payment, then the money will be credited back to your account within seven working days.
