JIPMAT 2026 registration is now open through the National Testing Agency for candidates seeking admission to the five-year Integrated Programme in Management at IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu. If your main goal is to apply correctly and not miss a deadline, the key points are straightforward: the application window runs from 16 April 2026 to 10 May 2026, fee payment closes on 11 May 2026, and the correction window will be available from 12 to 14 May 2026.
This exam is not just a general management entrance test. It is specifically the Joint Integrated Programme in Management Admission Test conducted by NTA on behalf of IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu. The exam is scheduled for 7 June 2026 in Computer Based Test mode, in English, for 150 minutes. Because the admission process ultimately leads into institute-level IPM admission, candidates should not stop at the NTA notice alone and should also review the admission policies of the participating IIMs.
The most important practical point for applicants is that the base JIPMAT eligibility in the NTA bulletin and the final institute-specific admission rules are closely related but not identical. That matters especially for candidates checking which Class 10 and Class 12 passing years are acceptable. This page brings together the registration dates, fee, exam pattern, syllabus, institute-level eligibility differences, and the correct official links needed to apply without confusion.
JIPMAT 2026 registration status and what the exam is for
JIPMAT 2026 registration has officially started on the NTA portal. This exam is conducted for admission to the five-year Integrated Programme in Management offered by IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu.
If you are searching for the direct next step, you need to apply online through the official JIPMAT portal under NTA. The current registration cycle is for the 2026 examination and not for a later admission season.
Candidates should keep in mind that NTA conducts the entrance test, while the final admission process is linked to the participating institutes. That is why it is important to satisfy both the examination-level requirements and the institute-level admission rules.

Basic JIPMAT 2026 eligibility from the NTA bulletin
As per the JIPMAT 2026 information bulletin, candidates should have passed 10+2, Class XII, HSC or equivalent in 2024 or 2025, or be appearing in 2026. The candidate must also have passed Class X examination in a year not before 2022.
The NTA bulletin also states that IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu may have different eligibility requirements. That means the entrance test form may be open to you, but final admission still depends on the rules of the institute where you seek admission.
Because of this, applicants should treat the NTA eligibility as the starting filter and then verify institute-specific rules before submitting the form.
Institute-wise eligibility differences you must check carefully
IIM Bodh Gaya and IIM Jammu are using JIPMAT 2026 for IPM admission, but their eligibility rules are not identical in every detail.
| Institute | Class XII condition | Class X condition | Minimum marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| IIM Bodh Gaya | Passed in 2025 or appearing in 2026 | Passed in 2023 or later | 60% in Class X and XII, relaxable to 55% for SC, ST, PwD and Transgender candidates |
| IIM Jammu | Passed in 2024 or 2025, or appearing in 2026 | Passed in 2022 or later | 60% in Class X and XII, relaxable to 55% for SC, ST and PwD candidates |
This difference matters most for candidates who passed Class XII in 2024 or Class X in 2022. Such candidates may still fit the broader NTA bulletin but should verify whether they remain eligible for the institute they want to join.
IIM Bodh Gaya has also stated in its 2026-31 admission policy that the intake for the IPM program will be around 120 seats. Final seat distribution and admission outcomes remain subject to the institute's policy and reservation rules.
JIPMAT 2026 application fee and payment details
| Category | Fee in India |

| General and OBC-NCL | ₹2200 |
| SC, ST, PwD, PwBD, Gen-EWS and Transgender | ₹1100 |
The information bulletin also lists an outside-India fee of ₹11,000. In addition to the examination fee, applicable service or processing charges and GST are to be paid to the concerned bank or payment gateway, as mentioned in the bulletin.
Payment can be made through Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking or UPI. The application is considered complete only after the fee is successfully received and the confirmation page is generated.

Syllabus overview for JIPMAT 2026
The official bulletin gives a broad syllabus outline rather than a chapter-by-chapter school-style syllabus.
- Quantitative Aptitude: questions test understanding and application of mathematics concepts up to Class 10 level.
- Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning: questions test ability to interpret data and evaluate reasoning.
- Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension: questions test basic understanding of English language, comprehension, interpretation and inference.
Because the exam is only 150 minutes for 100 questions, preparation should focus on accuracy, speed, and comfort with mixed sections rather than memorizing isolated topics without practice.
Admit card, city slip, answer key and result timeline
NTA has not yet announced the exact dates for the city intimation slip or admit card download. Both are to be notified later on the official JIPMAT website.
The same applies to the display of recorded responses, provisional answer key, and result declaration. Candidates should therefore not rely on unofficial calendars for these later-stage updates.
For planning purposes, you can treat 7 June 2026 as the confirmed examination date and keep checking the official JIPMAT portal for city slip and admit card announcements.
What to keep ready before filling the form
Before starting the application, keep your Class X and Class XII details, category details, identity information, active mobile number, and active email address ready. This reduces the chance of mistakes while completing the online form.
NTA requires candidates to upload a live photograph and a recent scanned passport-size photograph in JPG or JPEG format, along with a scanned signature and applicable disability or identity documents where relevant. The bulletin also advises candidates to ensure that their Aadhaar details such as photograph, name, date of birth, gender and address are updated for verification purposes.
After submission, save the application number, password, and confirmation page carefully. These will be needed again for corrections, admit card download, and later communication.
