IIT JAM 2025 Centres Moved from Prayagraj to Lucknow: Here’s What Happened
Upcoming Event
JAM Exam Date:15 Feb' 26 - 15 Feb' 26
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.
Students who previously chose their exam city to be Prayagraj are advised to download their updated JAM admit card as soon as possible. To download IIT JAM admit card, candidates can log into their JOAPS portal again and enter their application number and password to see the changes. The National Testing Agency has also shifted the GATE exam centres at Prayagraj to Lucknow for the same reason.

Hello,
Yes, you can appear in IIT JAM with 65% in 12th because you don't need 12th marks in IIT JAM. In IIT JAM they need your bachelor's degree, and you must have a minimum aggregate mark of 55% in this degree; then you can appear in IIT JAM. This means overall IIT JAM doesn't need 12th marks; instead, it needs bachelor's degree marks.
I hope it resolves your query!!
Yes, the IIT JAM Mathematics syllabus is mostly the same as what is taught in B.Sc. Mathematics. Core topics like Calculus, Algebra, Differential Equations, and Real Analysis overlap. However, JAM tests deeper understanding and problem-solving skills, often at a higher difficulty level than typical B.Sc. exams. Some topics may also be covered more rigorously or appear in more applied forms. So while the syllabus is similar, focused preparation is needed to match JAM’s level.
Applications for Admissions are open.
