How to find if your application got selected?

Through JAM 2021, students can only apply for any IIT and IISc. But admission depends on various factors like ER, MEQ, Merit List etc. Thus, students should not lose hope, because the admitting institutes will release three lists of admission depending upon the seats. One important thing to note is, that the second and third list of admission depends on seat availability.

JAM 2021 participating institutes will release the first list of admission on June 16, 2021. After that, students need to submit an acceptance form with an advance seat booking fee of ₹ 10000 (General, OBC- NCL, EWS) and ₹ 5000 (SC/ST/PwD) online through JOAPS, within the deadline in the offer letter. On confirmation of admission, the JOAPS will transfer the amount to the Admitting Institute. Further, it will be adjusted against the Institute Fee at the time of Registration.

Subject to seat availability, the second and third list of admission will come out on July 1 and 16, 2021, respectively.
