The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) has issued a new announcement about admissions. The notice relates to the Joint Admission Test for Masters (JAM) 2026. IIT Bombay is set to run the last seat-allotment round for JAM 2026. This round is scheduled for July 6 and 7, 2026. Applicants may follow the latest notices through JOAPS at jam2026.iitb.ac.in. This round marks the close of the JAM 2026 admissions process. Those who did not receive a seat in prior allotment rounds have a final opportunity. It includes 89 postgraduate courses offered through 22 IITs. The offerings apply to the academic session 2026–27.

Key Details of the JAM 2026 Final Round

The final round follows completion of the Fourth Admission List. That list was released on June 27, 2026. JAM 2026 offers seats across science and allied disciplines at the IITs.
