JAM 2026 Answer Key: The JAM 2026 provincial answer key will be made available from the last week of February 2026, allowing students to access it through the official JAM website. The challenge window for submitting objections opened from tentatively from last week of February 2026 to the first week of March 2026. After reviewing the concerns raised by candidates, IIT Bombay published the final result on 20 March 2026.

After reviewing all the objections, IIT Bombay evaluated and updated the answer key before releasing the final result on its website. The answer key helps the students verify their answers and estimate their scores based on the exam marking scheme, and to view the answer key, they have to log in to the official website using their details.

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Bombay) will release the JAM 2026 provincial answer key last week of February 2026, enabling students to check their responses in the exam with the official answer key and have an idea of their scores.
