Aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, JMI will implement admissions under the Multiple Entry Mode for the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) from this academic session, providing greater flexibility to students.
To simplify the admission process, applications have been organised under four categories: general university programmes, CUET-based programmes, BTech and BArch programmes, and multiple entry NEP programmes. The JMI application form 2026 will be available from February 20 for courses offered through university entrance examinations as well as national-level tests such as JEE Main, NATA, NEET, NCET and CUET. The registration portal will remain open until March 25 on the official website. Candidates will also be able to access the application portal up to 10 days after the declaration of the respective results.
In a move aimed at widening access, JMI has expanded its network of entrance test centres from eight to 11. Three new centres namely, Jaipur, Dehradun and Kishanganj, have been added. The existing centres are Delhi, Lucknow, Guwahati, Patna, Kolkata, Srinagar, Calicut and Bhopal.
JMI has also reduced fees for foreign students under the general and supernumerary seat categories. A region-wise differential fee structure has been introduced for students from SAARC, West Asian, and African and Latin American countries across eligible UG, PG and diploma programmes.
