Sir i rectified my IIT Jam mishap, but the status is still being shown as "Under Scrutiny: Defect Rectification Done" How do i know when it's approved, also the rectification Portal would close in two days on 13th Novembe. So how do I know if my issue has been resolved or not

Hello,

If your IIT JAM status shows “Under Scrutiny: Defect Rectification Done”, it means your correction is submitted and under review. Keep checking your portal, once verified, it’ll change to “Accepted” or “Found Defective.” Updates usually appear within 2–3 days before the portal closes.

Hope you understand.
