Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur opened the correction window for JAM 2027 today, November 10, 2026. Candidates who submitted their applications can log in to the JOAPS portal and fix mistakes in selected fields. The window is only for corrections. Nobody can submit a fresh application during this phase.
JAM is the entrance test for MSc and joint MSc-PhD programmes at the IITs. Registration closed on October 24 after an extension, so the candidates using this window are the ones who already applied.
What you can change
Candidates can change their exam city preferences, the test paper they picked, gender, category and PwD status. The portal also lets candidates fix photo or signature problems flagged during scrutiny. Certificate defects, such as problems with OBC-NCL or EWS documents, are handled through instructions sent by email or SMS, and those fixes carry no extra fee.
What stays locked
Several fields cannot be edited. The application number, the date of submission, the application status and the fee payment status stay as they are. Candidates also cannot make wholesale changes to the form. The correction facility covers only the fields the institute has opened for editing.
What it costs
Corrections are made on a paid basis. IIT Kharagpur has said additional fees may apply for certain changes, and the amount shows up before payment. Fixing a defect flagged during document scrutiny costs nothing.
How to make the correction
Log in to the official JAM 2027 website with your enrolment ID or email address and password, then open the JOAPS portal. Choose the edit option, change the fields you need to fix, pay any fee that applies and submit. Save the confirmation page once the form is submitted.
Check every field against your original documents before you submit. Our admission documents checklist lists the scans and certificates worth keeping ready before you sit down to edit.
What comes next
IIT Kharagpur has not announced a closing date for the correction window yet. Correction windows are usually short, so waiting is a risk. The admit card will be available for download on January 5, 2027. JAM 2027 will be held in around 114 cities, and the exam city allotted to each candidate will be printed on the admit card.
