JAM 2018 only through JAM Online Application Processing System (JOAPS) link
available at website http://jam.iitb.ac.in.
The facility for Online Registration and Application will be available through the
website http://jam.iitb.ac.in
from September 05, 2017. A candidate has to first register on JOAPS website, by
providing his/her name, a valid E-mail address,
a working mobile number and a password. The candidate must give an E-mail
address that he/she uses and checks frequently, as all communications to the
candidate from JAM 2018 will be sent to this E-mail address. The candidate must
not use somebody else's E-mail address and only
one candidate can be registered with one E-mail address. Similarly, the
candidate should provide his/her personal mobile number because most of the
communications may also be sent via SMS. The password that the candidate
provides should be chosen so that it cannot be guessed easily by others and
this password must not be forgotten by the candidate as he/she will require it
to login to the online application website. Upon successful registration, an
E-mail containing candidate's Enrolment ID will be sent to the E-mail address
provided by the candidate. The Enrolment ID will also be sent to the mobile
number provided by the candidate. The candidate needs to use this enrolment ID
along with the password for all JAM 2018 related communications or website
