IIT JAM 2025 Centres Moved from Prayagraj to Lucknow: Here’s What Happened

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.
