A major change was witnessed in the IIT JAM this year in terms of exam centre location. The IIT Delhi has shifted all the IIT JAM exam centres from Prayagraj to Lucknow due to the Mahakumbh festival gathering. A number of students have expressed their concern regarding the gathering during the Maha kumbh mela and how it could cause issues for them to commute to their exam centres. The IIT JAM 2025 will be held on February 2 in two shifts, one from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and the other from 2:30 to 5:30 pm.
