GATE, Joint Entrance Examination (JAM) centers to be held in Prayagraj have been shifted to Lucknow. This decision has been taken in view of the crowd gathering in Prayagraj for Mahakumbh.

Prayagraj: The Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT-D) has announced a change in exam centers for the candidates who were to appear in the entrance examination in Prayagraj. In view of Mahakumbh, the GATE 2025, and JAM 2025 examinations to be held in Prayagraj on February 1 and 2 will now be held in Lucknow on the same dates.

Exam centers changed due to this reason.

In a statement, Gate Organizing Institute, IIT Roorkee and JAM Organizing Institute, IIT Delhi said that applications have been received from many candidates who have expressed their difficulty in reaching the examination centers due to heavy crowd in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, the examination scheduled at the centers in Prayagraj has been shifted to the centers in Lucknow on the respective GATE and JAM exam days (1 and 2 February).

Fresh admit cards have been issued

GATE and JAM admit cards have been issued afresh. Candidates are advised to download the newly issued admit cards from the GOAPS portal - goaps.iitr.ac.in/login - for GATE 2025 and the JOAPS portal - joaps.iitd.ac.in/login - for JAM 2025.

Candidates must ensure that the new exam center details are reflected correctly while downloading the updated admit card. All candidates should bring their photo ID as uploaded in the online application form and in the admit card for proof of identity.

Exam centers also changed for JEE

Earlier, NTA released call letters for all the exams to be held between January 22 and January 30. Due to the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, the authorities have changed the exam centres for the upcoming JEE from Prayagraj to Varanasi.
